A man went to the doctor complaining of constant fatigue and lack of energy. The doctor listened to him, ran some tests, and waited for the results.
A week later, the man returned to the doctor’s office. The doctor was sitting at his desk with a serious expression.
“Alright,” said the doctor. “Your test results are in, and your condition is quite interesting. Your lack of energy is actually due to something very simple.”
The man asked anxiously, “What is it, doctor? Is it serious? What do I need to do?”
The doctor adjusted his glasses. “I’m going to write you a prescription. Every morning, as soon as you wake up, open your window and shout loudly three times: ‘I am a superhero!'”
The man looked surprised. “What? Doctor, what kind of treatment is this? I’m talking about fatigue, not being a superhero!”
The doctor insisted. “Trust me. This will boost your energy levels and increase your self-belief. Every morning, three times, loudly: ‘I am a superhero!'”
The man reluctantly agreed. The next morning, he opened his window and shyly whispered: “I am a superhero…”
He remembered the doctor’s instructions and shouted louder: “I AM A SUPERHERO!”
Still not fully convinced, he shouted one last time, as loudly as he could: “I AM A SUPERHERO!“
Suddenly, his downstairs neighbor’s voice was heard: “SHUT UP! WHAT KIND OF HERO AT THIS HOUR! YOU’RE DISTURBING MY SLEEP!“
The man looked down from the window in surprise. The doctor’s voice echoed in his ears: “That’s energy! Now you’re ready to fight your neighbor!“
