Quote of the week:
If your rules are not working so well, borrow someone else's.
-- Dr. Richard Bartlett
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A SHORT STORY
Some 80 years ago, as Notre Dame was preparing to play USC in college football, Fighting Irish coach Knute Rockne knew USC had a far better team, so he decided to intimidate the Trojans. Rockne hand-picked 100 of the largest men he could find in South Bend—six-foot-five, three hundred pound men—and put them in Fighting Irish uniforms. At game time, he marched them out ahead of the real team.
As USC watched these giants line up on the sidelines, they forgot how good they were, and began mentally preparing themselves for a beating. Not a single one of those specially recruited men played, but their presence on the sidelines was enough. Knute Rockne intimidated the Trojan players into giving up before the game even started, and Notre Dame won.
Do you give up before the game starts? Don’t be intimidated by what appears to be real in your life. Stay confident and listen to your life. Redefine your reality not in fear, but in courage, so you can make a positive life in this negative world.
