Yesterday, I read an article by one local writer named Dunstan Chan in Borneo Post. Dunstan is a public cum motivational speaker and I have met him in person on few occasions when I was organising charity events probably 6-7 years back. Well, I am not going to talk about him but on his article where it strikes me yet again.
He had mentioned about "being grateful and make full use of what we have and not keep longing on what we do not have". It is a mind reflecting statement, why ?
He had shared one experience truely by himself when he met with one guy in USA named by John. As when his friend introduced him to John, he naturally extend his hand for handshake but there is no response from John ?? A careful look, he realised that John does not have any hands/arms. He is embarassed and shock but John responded with a big smile and said it is okay and he gets it all the time. For the next two hours, he spent his most memorable time with John observing him, the way he took his lunch with his foots and also learnt that John can drive with his foots.
Well, this is really extraordinary...isnt't it? ! So, from the statement, if John is negative, he would not be able to be successful as what he is now. For your information, John is a successful public speaker in US. One may be handicapped by his or her physical body but he or she can still achieve their dreams if they really want to. However, if one is handicapped by his mind, nothing can be achievable even if they have perfect body.
