Rahul is progressing but his progress is a bit slow. He has been able to reduce 1 kg in a month.
Still trying to figure out ways of how he can improve.
One day when Rahul was playing football. His coach called everybody and did his weekly review of players performance.
His coach called them one by one and looked into his spreadsheet and commented on each players performance . And gave suggestions on how to improve. After Coach completed his work, Rahul got fascinated and asked his teacher,” Why did you keep records of each player”.
The Coach replied, “How do you know that your scooty is going to get out of fuel”. he replied,” I see fuel metre and when it is low I recognise that my scooty is out of fuel”.
“Exactly”, said the coach and continued “same thing here, my dear . I keep records so that I can understand which players are doing good and which players need help”. Rahul realised if keeping scores can help in improving football, then it can also help him to reduce weight . Rahul started keeping record of three things. First was his weight measured weekly. Second how many times he eat in a day and third how much hours of exercise has done per day. Rahul has started seeing tremendous results. He reduced 2 kilo weight in next month.
What did you learn?
After doing what you have learnt in case 1. You are going to measure your performance in two ways. You are going to do it the juice and orange way.
So what does this orange and Juice mean?
To get orange juice you must have first have oranges. It is as simple as that. As in the case of Rahul, he wants to reduce his weight . Reducing weight is his juice, the final outcome That Rahul wants. And diet and exercise are oranges. The things which help him to achieve his end goal. So we are going to measure both. You will have to find some way to measure it. It can be a bit hard but worth it.
