There was a man who worked for the railroad.
One day as he went into the freezer compartment to do his routine work, the door accidentally closed and he found himself trapped in the compartment.
He shouted for help but no one heard him since it was past midnight. He tried to break down the door but he could not.
As he lay in the freezer compartment, he began to feel colder, and colder.
Then he began to feel weaker, and weaker, and he wrote on the wall of the compartment, “I am feeling colder, and colder; and I am getting weaker, and weaker.
I am dying, and this may be my last words”. In the morning when the other workers opened up the compartment they found him dead.
The sad twist to the above story is that the freezing apparatus in the compartment had broke down a few days earlier.
The poor worker did not know about the damaged freezing apparatus and in his mind the freezing apparatus was working perfectly.
He felt cold, got weaker and literally willed himself to die.
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Our sub-conscious mind can be cheated.
The sub-conscious mind can only accept and act on information passed to it by the conscious mind.
It has no capacity to reject or decline any instructions or information passed to it by the conscious mind.
In the case of the poor worker, he consciously thought that he was getting colder, weaker and dying and the sub-conscious mind accepted the above instructions and affected his physical body.
That was how he willed himself to die.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE
“Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer.
Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.”

He was 65 years old when he received his first social security check of $99.
He was broke, and owned a small house and a beat up car.
He made a decision that he has got to change.
The only idea he had was a chicken recipe, which his friends liked.
With that idea in mind, he took massive action.
He left his home in Kentucky and traveled to many states in the US to sell his idea.
He told the restaurant owners that he had a chicken recipe that people liked and he was giving it to them for free.
What he wanted in return was for the restaurant owners to pay him a small percentage on the pieces of chicken sold.
He got rejections after rejections, but did not give up. In fact, he got over 1000 rejections. He got 1009 no’s before he got his first yes.
With that one success Colonel Harland Sanders changed the eating habits of the whole world with Kentucky Fried Chicken.
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Age is no barrier to success, and so is capital. What is needed is an idea put into action, followed with proper planning and persistency.
How many of us will keep knocking on doors when we have received 1000 rejections? I presume not many!
This is why there are not many successes like Colonel Sanders.

The Catalina Island is twenty-one miles away from the coast of California, and many people have taken the challenge to swim across it.
On July 4th 1952, Florence Chadwick stepped into the water off Catalina Island to swim across to the California coast.
She started well and on course, but later fatigue set in, and the weather became cold.
She persisted, but fifteen hours later, numb and cold, she asked to be taken out of the
water.
After she recovered, she was told that she had been pulled out only half a mile away from the coast.
She commented that she could have made it, if the fog had not affected her vision and she would have just seen the land.
She promised that this would be the only time that she would ever quit.
She went back to her rigorous training.
And two months later she swam that same channel.
The same thing happened.
The fatigue set in, and the fog obscured her view, but this time she swam with faith and vision of the land in her mind.
She knew that somewhere behind the fog was land.
She succeeded and became the first woman to swim the Catalina Channel.
She even broke the men’s record by two hours.
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
Keep the vision of your goal crystal clear before you and never, never, never… give up! See the reaching, commit to it, and you will surely see your goal realized.

Today I am going to share with you another motivational story I read 🙂
This is the story of Robby.
He was a young boy who lived with his elderly mother.
His mother wanted him to learn how to play the piano because she longed to hear
her son play for her.
She sent her son to a piano teacher who took Robby in under her guidance.
However,there was one small problem because Robby was not musically inclined and therefore was very slow in learning.
The teacher did not have much faith in the boy because of his weakness.
The mother was very enthusiastic and every week she would send Robby to the teacher.
One day Robby stopped attending the piano lessons.
The teacher thought that he had given up and in fact she was quite pleased since she did not give much hope to Robby.
Not long after, the piano teacher was given the task to organize a piano concert in town. She sent out circulars to invite the students and public to attend the event.
Suddenly, she received a call from Robby who offered to take part in the concert.
The teacher told Robby that he was not good enough and that he was no longer a student since he had stopped coming for lessons.
Robby begged her to give him a chance and promised that he would not let her down.
Finally, she gave in and she put him to play last, hoping that he will change his mind at the last minute.
When the big day came, the hall was packed and the children gave their best performance.
Finally, it was Robby’s turn to play and as his name was announced, he walked in.
He was not in proper attire and his hair was not properly groomed. The teacher was really nervous since Robby’s performance could spoil the whole evening’s brilliant performance.
As Robby started playing the crowd became silent and was amazed at the skill of this little boy.
In fact, he gave the best performance of the evening.
At the end of his presentation the crowd and the piano teacher gave him a standing ovation.
The crowd asked Robby how he managed to play so brilliantly.
With a microphone in front of him, he said, “I was not able to attend the weekly piano
lessons as there was no one to send me because my mother was sick with cancer.
She just passed away this morning and I wanted her to hear me play.
You see, this is the first time she is able to hear me play because when she was alive she was deaf and now I know she is listening to me. I have to play my best for her!”
SUCCESS PRINCIPLES
This is indeed a touching story of love and excellence.
When you have a passion and a reason to do something, you will surely excel. You may not be talented or gifted but if you have a strong enough reason to do something, you will be able to tap into your inner God given potential.
