The Niagara Syndrome

"Life is like a river for many people, they just jump in the river of life without ever deciding where they want to end up, so they quickly get caught up in the current, current events, current challenges, current fears. And then they come to the forks in the rivers, they don't consciously decide which way to go or which direction is right for them, they just go with the flow of the river, they become a part of the mass of people who are directed by the environment instead of by their own values.As a result, they feel out of control."

"They remain in this unconscious state until one day the sound of the raging water awakens them and they discover that they are 5 feet from Niagara Falls in a boat with no oars. At this point, all they can say is, "oh, shoot!" But by then it's too late. They are going to take a fall"

"It may be a financial set back or the break up of a relationship or maybe even a health problem, in almost all of the cases the fall could have been prevented by making better decisions up stream."

-from "Awaken the Giant Within" by Anthony Robbins

The Feeling? It is the Fruit of Love

During a seminar, a man came up and said to Stephen Covey.
'Stephen, I like what you are preaching about relationships. But every situation is different. Look at my marriage. I am really worried. My wife and I just don't have the same feeling for each other that we used to have. I guess I just don't love her anymore, and she doesn't love me".
"The feeling is not there anymore?" Stephen enquired.
"That is right", the man affirmed. "And we have three children and we are really concerned about it. What do you suggest?"
"Love her", Stephen Covey advised him.
"I told you the feeling just isn't there"
"Then love her. If the feeling is not there, that is all the more reason to love her."
"But how do you love when you don't love?"
"My friend," Covey told him " Love is a verb. Love - the feeling- is the fruit of love, the verb or our loving actions. So love her. Sacrifice. Listen to her. Empathize. Appreciate. Affirm her."

-from "The 7 Habits of High Effective Family" by Stephen Covey

Don't waste time

Give lifting that person your best shot, but don't hang around long enough for his or her bad attitude to pull you down. Instead, surround yourself with optimistic people" - Zig Ziglar

Ultimate Destiny

"It's not what's happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it's your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you're going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny." -Anthony Robbin

Belief

Before 1954, experts insisted that no one are able to break the 4 minute barries in one mile run and it had been considered impossible.... at least it is not possible by a human body.
In 1954, Roger Bannister broke the world record and ran the mile in under 4 minutes(3:59.4 Min). Bannister done it by Beliefs!, he believes he can do it!
This is not end of the story, within a year of Bannister's record, 37 more runners broke the 4 minute barrier. A year later another 300 broke it. It takes more than 5000 years for the first runner to break the 4 minute barries but it takes only 2 years after Bannister's record for another 337 runners to achieve it?!
Again, they all done it by BELIEFS! They saw someone made it and believe it can be done so they did it!

There is another cute story:
According to the theory of aerodynamics, the bumblebee is unable to fly! This is because of its thin wings and total wingspan, in relation to the size, weight and shape of his body, makes flying impossible. But, luckily, the bumblebee doesn't know this! bumble didn't read or listen to those expects' analysis, It goes ahead and flies and works and achieves!
Like the bumblebee, YOU CAN IF YOU THINK YOU CAN

Can or Can't
