Non Stop Short of Gold
In Napoleon Hill’s classic Think and Grow Rich, which tells a true story about a man named RU Darby and his uncle, who had been the “gold rush” during the gold rush.
After his first car of ore sent to a cabin, they discovered that they had found one of the richest bodies of gold in Colorado. Excited disappeared, continued to dig, but the reef.
They kept digging in the hope that vein again, but if the results are not expected to be packaged and sold in their machines.
The man who realized that the machine was purchased ditch chance is not the best way to find the vein. He called a mining engineer and make some calculations.
What contributed to the loss of Darby and his uncle was his lack of knowledge of “fault lines” and lack of consideration of alternatives. With his knowledge, the engineer was able to predict that gold wire stop digging ten feet from where the Darby could not be found, and that’s exactly what it was.
Millions of dollars in gold were removed from the mine by the man who does not accept defeat easily, and the knowledge that special someone who had decided not to be retained.
The lesson here is that success is often only the addition of what appears to be his biggest obstacle. Welcome failure and use it as reference point. If reports in search of the lesson. What you need to change your approach, your way of thinking.
With a modern example, I worked with a personal trainer for several months. During the first meetings, he asked me what I thought was totally unreal.
I pushed because I am of average weight and stature, I thought “poor results”, the best we could hope for was to create. When I asked the calf increases lift 50 pounds, I grunted and groaned and said it was not possible. After four repetitions, he wanted to quit, and I said six … Two! ”
My first week I was up to 100 pounds. I thought I would pop into my head all the veins and asked her sadistic school.
Finally let me say that weight in the configuration of the equipment and keep the weight and repetitions increases. I had no idea and said that after two weeks, “Ha! Elevations twins are 50 pounds a piece of cake, we want at this weight.”
She told me, “said Laurie, who were lifting 80 pounds for the last two sessions.”
She also had my leg press 180 pounds in the third week without my knowledge.
In the fourth week, I doubled my calf weight increased to 100 pounds and leg press 200 people. She had the same done to my upper body exercises with weights and I was never stopped trying.
I love to be a temporary defeat and a limited level of thinking I had allowed me to have. He thought he always taught me techniques that I could more, lift heavier and stronger.
I translated this lesson in my company and we ask that you remember well.
The only limitations are those you create in your mind. The defeat is only a result produced. Measure the results, change your focus and put in their efforts.
