A very poor man once applied for a job as janitor in a bank. “Can you write?” demanded the head of employment. “Only my name” he replied. He didn’t get the job.
Many years later an important business man held a press conference in his beautiful office. At the conclusion of his talk, a reporter obviously blown away by his success story said, “You should write your memoirs.”
The gentleman smiled. “Impossible” he said, “I cannot write.”
The reporter was astounded. “Just think,” He remarked, “how much further you would have gone if you could.”
The man shook his head. “If I could write,” I’d be a janitor.”
That man’s got a name - Conrad Hilton.
End of story.
Lessons learnt:
Forget the stereotypes. There is no one exact route to whatever you call success
Nothing can stop you if you don’t allow it to
Literacy and intelligence are not exactly the same . One will earn you certificates, the other will give you much more
Never allow your background keep you on the ground
Your experiences in life, whether they be advantages or disadvantages, stepping stones or stumbling blocks, that's just a matter of perspective. And it's entirely up to you!
Alright. So what else can you add to the list ……. Feel free to use the comment box. And..... don't forget to lead a limit free life, this week and always!
