WE ARE GREATER THAN WE IMAGINE

WE  ARE  GREATER  THAN  WE  IMAGINE

by  S. K. SENGUPTA    

I have in hand a book that turned around the thinking of an entire generation. The book is  Think and Grow Rich  , and  Napoleon Hill  is the author . All thoughts on  achievement  today , and all training courses and books on success philosophy spring from there . It was steel magnate Andrew Carnegie who asked young Napoleon Hill to research and study if there was any definite road-map to success by scrutinizing the lives of the most successful people of their times . Napoleon bought that idea .

He carried out the research over twenty-five years of pains-

taking efforts , staking everything he had , his career , his

financial fate and the welfare of his family . He ended up

being a multi-millionaire himself and his name became a

synonym for success all over the globe . What the universe

earned from his  Law of Success  was far more than what

he gained himself .

Does this real story mean anything to you ? Can it help you in the battles of your own life ? Use your mind , and you may find the answer to all your own struggles in that little story .

D’you remember the Wright Brothers ? After a                                                     heart-rending struggle of several years , all they

had to show to the world was a series of failures .

Everyone thought that their idea was crazy . How

could a heavy machine float in air with several

persons sitting inside it ?! Do we still think the

same way ? No one of us can thank Wright Brothers

enough today for their unyielding spirits .

The secret of creating whatever we want for ourselves is there in this story . We can learn and use it if we really want to .

An airplane developed a snag and

crash-landed on a railway-track near

a small village in India several years

ago . The crew and passengers were

alive but were badly injured . Before

the villagers could begin any rescue

operation , they realized that a train

was fast approaching the airplane lying on the track . No one knew what to do . Some tried to raise their hands and shout . It had no effect . As everyone watched helplessly , a young girl swiftly dipped a cloth-piece in kerosene , put it on a bamboo , lighted it and ran to signal the train to stop . It worked . The train came to a screeching halt only a few feet away from the damaged airplane .

Ain’t we greater than any emergency and disaster ? Can’t we unleash the vast abilities which are sleeping within us ?

A young American lady with a baby

in arms was hit by a speeding car .The

lady was thrown apart and the car came

to rest with the baby lying under one

of its tyres . The lady got up , saw the

baby , gave a deafening cry as she ran

upto the car , and then holding the tyre ,

screaming with all her might , she lifted

the car by several inches .

This is a real incident . Emergency turned the lady into a superwoman . When we focus our entire existence and stake everything we have on one point , we often perform miracles !

“The greatest weapon on this earth is the human soul on fire .” We are greater than we imagine !
