1+1=Analogous Friday!

This week’s vid is going to take you back to your school days and drop you into a math classroom. For those of you who that didn’t scare away, enjoy the video.

Not too shabby for a college math class, huh? What can we learn from this overachieving professor? Funny you should ask…

DON’T GET STUCK IN YOUR ROUTINE

I’d be pretty safe in assuming that not every day in this class is done like this one was. Sometimes, we get pretty bored with our daily grind and we need to spice things up a little bit. Do something as simple as trying to get some work done outside one day or as drastic as switching jobs. Sure, change is scary which is why people get stuck in routines a lot of the time, but change is also healthy. So, have a little fun and break away fromĀ  your norm.

MAKE AN IMPRESSION

This professor went the extra mile for his class. Instead of doing something small like saying “Happy Halloween” he decided to go all out for his students. In return, they will probably remember him and that class for years to come. This is the same when working with clients or customers. If you can show them that you care enough about them to take the extra steps to do something out of the ordinary, you’re going to leave a lasting impression on them.

So I took two of the easier ones today. Now, it’s YOUR turn. What analogies can you make so that we take away even more lessons from this clip?

For more analogousness, check out last week’s edition, “Trick Without the Treat.”
