#FridayFocus




If you spend your time focusing or subconsciously preparing for Plan B then Plan A is not going to succeed. Focus on Plan A can't include any attention paid toward Plan B. And to be on the safe side the only Plan B you should have is to work Plan A.

Plan B is usually the thing we don't want as much but it will have to do since Plan A didn't work out. Well, perhaps Plan A didn't work out because we were focused on Plan B instead. I know I sometimes focus more on Plan B, ignoring Plan A, due to fear of the risk Plan A feels like or insecurities I have about my role in Plan A.

For the #FridayFocus today, take some time to focus on what you want (Plan A), not what you don't want (Plan B).

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
