There was a company with a rule that employees couldn't take more than two bathroom breaks a day. One employee had a medical condition but was still restricted by this rule. They were reprimanded every time they tried to go more often. The stress and discomfort they faced because of this unreasonable rule was a horror story in the workplace.
One horror story could be when an investor thought they were making smart trades. They sold a stock at a loss to claim the tax deduction, but unknowingly triggered the wash sale rule. They bought the same or substantially identical stock within 30 days. As a result, they couldn't claim the loss as they expected, which messed up their tax planning.
Sure. One 10x rule success story could be about a small startup. They applied the 10x rule by setting goals that were ten times greater than what they initially thought possible. Instead of aiming to reach a local market of a few thousand customers, they targeted a global market of tens of thousands. They worked extremely hard, put in ten times more effort in marketing, product development, and customer service. They took risks that others wouldn't, like investing a large portion of their initial capital into R & D. As a result, they developed a unique product that quickly gained popularity worldwide and their business grew exponentially, achieving a success far beyond their original expectations.
Sure. One success story is a person who saw a job opportunity advertised. Using the 5 - second rule, they immediately applied without overthinking. They ended up getting the job and it turned out to be a great career move. Another one is a student who saw an open seat in a popular study group. In 5 seconds, they joined, and they improved their grades significantly because of the great study environment.
Sure. One story could be about a couple who broke up. The person who initiated the 30 - day no contact rule found it really tough at first. But as the days passed, they started to focus more on themselves. They took up new hobbies like painting and joined a fitness club. By the end of the 30 days, they felt like a whole new person, more confident and independent.
I'm not very familiar with specific 'Black Rule Obeah stories'. Obeah is a form of folk magic and spiritual practice in some Caribbean cultures. It's often associated with beliefs in spirits, charms, and the like. But detailed stories about a so - called 'Black Rule' in relation to Obeah are not commonly known in mainstream knowledge.
Sure. One platinum rule success story could be in a business negotiation. Instead of just pushing their own terms like 'the golden rule' might suggest, a company applied the platinum rule. They took the time to understand the needs and desires of the other party. They found out the other company was really concerned about long - term stability rather than short - term profit. So they proposed a deal that focused on long - term cooperation and shared growth. As a result, both companies benefited greatly from this deal, building a strong and lasting partnership.
There was a guy who had a bad falling - out with his friend. He decided to go no contact. During this time, he traveled and met new people. His friend, realizing the importance of their relationship, reached out to him after a long while. By then, he had become more confident and was able to set healthy boundaries in their renewed friendship. The no contact rule helped him grow and improve the relationship.
Sure. One success story could be in a business negotiation. A company applied the platinum rule by trying to understand the other party's needs and desires deeply. Instead of just pushing their own product features, they focused on how their product could solve the specific problems the other side was facing. As a result, they reached a deal that was beneficial for both parties.
Sure. There was an investor who had a large portfolio. He decided to sell a significant amount of a particular stock at a loss to offset some large capital gains he had made that year. He thought he had it all planned out for tax purposes. But then, a few days later, he heard some positive news about the company and without thinking much about the wash sale rule, he bought back a substantial amount of the same stock. When tax time arrived, he found out that he couldn't use the loss from the initial sale to offset his gains. This not only increased his tax bill but also made him realize how little he knew about the wash sale rule. He had to pay a much larger amount in taxes than he had budgeted for, which put a strain on his overall financial situation.
Sure. One story is about a neighbor. My neighbor once saw an old lady struggling to carry her groceries. He immediately remembered the golden rule of helping others. So he went and helped her carry the bags all the way to her home. The old lady was very grateful.
