Following directions is easy, right? …Then why don’t we? This video tells all.

  • The way you started and created interest and the way you related it to your actual message which you wanted to convey was excellent!

    I look forward to some more of these kind educational ones!!

    Awsome example and reminder that there are no short-cuts in life to be the ultimate at what we want to achieve.
    I would have put less sugar as well from a healthy point of view – I realized when I was watching this video that if I did not want to use sugar then I should not make jam but maybe use strawberries in salad, shakes etc, in different meals during day. We also should be clear in what we want out of our lives. To use something healthy or to simply preserve the fruit or both for balance.

    Cheers

    This blog was awesome to me, because when I listened to it, it resonated so much with everytime you try somthing, and you learn how to do it, and then fail. The reason is not because your not good enough, the reason most times is failing to follow through on the correct way.

    I will personally be here to follow through from now on. Happy blogging ;)

    Nice analogy!
    Sometimes life’s recipes are not to our liking – but yes, to get the expected result one must follow the recommended recipe. As I was watching the video I just could not help thinking how I’d love to mix the strawberry ’syrup’ into my homemade yogurt!
    My point? For those times when you cannot or will not follow the recipe – you’ll need to get real creative with the results:)

    @Raj, believe it or not, before making this video for you, I thought “a video about making strawberry jam? Nah…” Glad you liked it.

    @Margot, you’re right about short-cuts in life. We can easily cheat ourselves out of achieving what we want to achieve. And great point of yours about finding a way to satistfy multiple outcomes. Truth be told, we too used some of the strawberries for salads (have you ever tried them with aged balsamic vinegar?) and snacks.

    @Jon, failure is part of growth and sometimes the directions are not obvious. Think of how many things a baby fails at before figuring it out. The sad thing is most people learn to fear failure, and often that stops us right in our tracks.

    @Del, I love it, when life deals you “syrup,” put it in your yogurt :) (and btw, your homemade yogurt sounds delicious, like the one my mother used to make)

    I just watched your clip about strawberry jam. First I thought you were to talk about healthy food, but it turned out to be excellent analogy how to stick to your goal following the rules.
    I tend to improvise with life, same with cooking – almost never make the one meal to be the same twice. This comes as a GREAT REMINDER for me. How from the point A (where I am now) gets to the point B (to my set goal).

    Thanks,
    Zana

    Hello Zana,

    It is safe to say that many great chefs improvise. The meal may not be exactly the same, yet it’s still delicious because they had a clear outcome in mind and stuck to the basics (like the basic cooking techniques, the balance of ingredients and how to combine flavors).

    You can say the same of life. I remember the the first time one of my mentors held out a piece of paper, scribbled something on it, and taught me about planning. And since then I learned that in general, the act of planning is more valuable than the plan itself, because plans often (must) change. Here too though, the result is much better than if no planning was done.

    Thanks for sharing.

    Ciao!
