Focus on How to do it, rather than why you can’t.
One Mr. Bob in the town Barrie wanted to help the
people of that town who lost everything in a tornado
that swept through the town.
He called all the executives of the company (radio
broad casting company) into his office. At the top of
a flip chart he wrote three 3s. He said to his
executives “ How would you like to raise 3 million
dollars 3 days from now in just 3 hours and give the
money to the people in Barrie? There was nothing but
silence.
Finally someone said, “ There is no way we could do
that”.
Bob said, “ Wait a minute. I didn’t ask you if we
could or even if we should. I just asked you if you
would like to”.
They all said, “Sure we would like to”. He then drew
a large’ T’ underneath the 333 on one side he wrote,”
Why we can’t.” On the other side he wrote, How we
can.”
I am going to put a big X on the “ Why we can’t side.’
We are not going to spend any time in the ideas of why
we can’t. That’s of no value. On the other side we
are going to write down every idea that we can come up
with on how we can. We are not going to leave the
room until we figure it out.”
There was a silence again.
Finally someone said,” We could do a radio show across
Canada. Someone said, you could not do a radio show
across Canada, as we do not cover the whole Canada.
All of a sudden someone suggested,” you could get
Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson, the biggest names in
Canadian broad casting to anchor the show. At that
point it was absolutely amazing how fast and furious
the CREATIVE IDEAS BEGAN TO FLOW.
They did that and collected 3 million dollars in 3
hours within 3 business days.”
Do you believe it is some one’s Creative idea to find
the other source available?
Negative thoughts defeated and positive thoughts
helped them achieve their Goal
within the time frame. So think of it. Relate this to
your study. Try to understand
the subject well, if you do not approach your teacher
to explain you again. Read your lessons again and
again. Practice writing within specified time. You
can get what you want. It is guaranteed, 100%.
Let me explain what happened to me in the year 1979
when I joined a very big company in the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia. ….. 2000 x 40’ containers left in the
port. No one knew what was inside. In “Just One day
and a half” I was able to find out and solved the
problem.
When you think you can, really you can make things
happen. Just keep doing things. Do not give up. Just
do it. |
