While he worked for the railway, he studied law--until he ruined his legal career by getting into another fight. Sanders was forced to move back in with his mom and get a job selling life insurance.

The Professor began his class by holding up a glass with some water in it. He held it up for all to see & asked the students “How much do you think this glass weighs ?”   ’50gms!’….. ‘100gms!’ …..’125 gms’ …the students answered. “I really don’t know unless I weigh it,” said the professor, “but, my question is:  What would happen if I held it up like this for a few minutes?”…. ‘Nothing’ …..the students said. . ‘Ok what would happen if I held it up like this for an hour?’ the professor asked. ‘Your arm would begin to ache’ said one of the student .  “You’re right, now what would happen if I held it for a day?”  “Your arm could go numb; you might have severe muscle stress & paralysis & have to go to hospital for sure!” …..

Attitude Determines your Destiny

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head. 'Well', she said, 'I think I'll braid my hair today?' So she did and she had a wonderful day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head. 'H-M-M,' she said, 'I think I'll part my hair down the middle today?' So she did and she had a grand day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head. 'Well,' she said, 'today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail.' So she did and she had a fun, fun day. The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. 'YEA!' she exclaimed, 'I don't have to fix my hair today!' Attitude is everything. Trainer. Dhananjay Patil(Self-Development Coach)
