THE MAN WHO WILLED HIMSELF TO DIE ( Good Reading )

Post by amaya » Jun 17, 2009 Views: 821

There was a man who worked for the railroad. One day as 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; and I am getting weaker, and weaker. I am
dying, and this may be my last wordsâ€￾.

In the morning when the other workers opened up the compartment they
found him dead. The sad twist to the above story is that the freezing
apparatus in the compartment had broke down a few days earlier.

The poor worker did not know about the damaged freezing apparatus and
in his mind the freezing apparatus 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. In the case of the poor worker, he
consciously thought that he was getting colder, weaker and dying and the
sub-conscious mind accepted the above instructions and affected his
physical body. That was how he willed Himself to die.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you
come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance
away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken
in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily
seen."
