"Pressure is a word that is misused in our vocabulary. When you start thinking of pressure, it's because you've started to think of failure."

PARADIGM SHIFT
Stephen R. Covey Said, " The range of what we think and do is limited by what we
fail to notice. And because we fail to notice that we fail to notice, there is little we can do to change; until we notice how failing to notice shapes our thoughts and deeds.
It will interest you to know that up till the start of the 18th century, the whole world was at the same level of development. The hightest technology then was the hoes and axes we use on our farm. Some where using iron, some gold, some even diamonds to make the hoes ans axes.
Now the question on my mind is, if the whole world was at the same level of techological development at a certian time,how did the rest of the world leave Africa behind. Think about it and write me, we will discuss from there.

Thoughts Rule The World!!
The ancestor of every action wherther good or bad is thought. Thoughts become things. The state of your mind determines the outcome of your life. A mans destiny can never be separated from his thoughts. Ths size of your thinking determines how far you go in life.
Dr. Carter G. Goodson, said "when you determine what a man shall think, you do not have to concern yourself about what he will do. if you make a man feel inferior, you do not have to conpel him to accept an inferior status for he will seek it himself. If you can make a man think that he is justly an outcast, you do not have to order him to back door, he will go without being told; and if there is no back door, his very nature will demand one"

It's an inside job
Sometime ago, i read this life changing story of a ballon salesman on the streets of New York City. This innovative salesman was releasing different colours of ballons in order to attract sales. He released a white, a yellow, a red, a green and all manner of colours but somehow he didn't release a black.
After a while, a little Black boy who had been watching and no dout thinking, approached the salesman and asked him, " Mister, if you release a black ballon, would it also go up?" the ballon man looked at him with compassion, understanding and wisdom, then said, " son, it's not the colour of the ballon that makes them go up, but what's inside.
