THE MAN WHO KILLED HIMSELF TO DIE

There was a man who worked at the railroad. One day 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; I am getting weaker and weaker. I am dying, and this maybe my last words."

In the morning when the other workers opened up the compartment, they found him dead. The sad twist is that the freezing apparatus in the compartment had broken down a few days earlier. The poor worker did not know about the damaged freezing apparatus and in his mind it 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. The worker consciously thought that he was getting colder, weaker and dying and the sub conscious accepted the instructions and affected his physical body. That was how he willed himself to die.

FINGER LICKIN' GOOD

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 has 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, but did not give up. In fact, he got over 1000 rejections. He got 1,009 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 pressume not many! This is why there are not many successes like Colonel Sanders.
