The Power of Positive Thinking

Years ago, before the Soviet Union was separated into individual states, there was a railroad mechanic working inside a railroad refrigerator car doing some repairs. Without warning, the door suddenly closed shut with the mechanic inside. The only way to open the door was from the outside. So the mechanic began banging on the door for help. Unfortunately, it was late in the workday and nearly everyone was gone for the day. After what seemed like an eternity banging and yelling for help, the mechanic resolved himself to the fact that he would be spending the night in that car.

The next day when the other workers returned to the work site, they opened the refrigerator car door only to find their colleague dead on the floor. They noticed writing on the wall – writing from their dead co-worker. There were 4 lines written. They said:

- It’s starting to get very cold - It’s getting difficult to breath - I realize that I am going to die in here - These will be my last words These words, and the resulting death of their friend, perplexed the workers. You see, due to an electrical problem in the cooling system, the refrigeration unit was not operational and the temperature inside the car never went lower than 56 degrees all night. Also, the car was not airtight and there was plenty of oxygen inside the car. Therefore, their only conclusion was that their poor colleague willed himself to death.

Positive thinking yields positive results. Negative thinking yields negative results. Don’t get caught thinking negatively. The results are almost always predictable and often devastating.

Good Luck & Good Selling!
