Dear
Friends The
power to see clear and positive is in my thinking very important
when it comes to succeeding in business as well as in life. I
still remember clearly when in 1982 I started this business and
being sort on funds it would have been natural to feel doomed
from the beginning. I tried very much to keep my focus on the
amount of effort I should put in my nascent enterprise rather
than what could be done if the funds were more plentiful. I have
been all my life an optimist but specially since putting all my
life and resources and efforts in the new business I didnot allow
myself to be drawn into a pessimistic attitude and instead I focussed
all my strength and my might into making happen everything that
could and that was within my reach. I never dreamt that if I were
to be the holder of a winning lottery ticket all my problems would
have been over but I rather used that fantasicing time in adding
a positive slice to my day no matter how big or small. When I
was faced with a mountain (or what it looked like one ) in front
of me I didnot just stared at the mountain and think at how hard
would be to climb it but as I raised up hill I was already looking
through the valley with my imagination as I would when I would
have reached the top. I imagined how easy it would have been to
go down the other side of the mountain and into the green valley
once I mastered all my strength to get to the top. Of course I
had my dark times the negative scenarios the doubts and the dreams
of doom but what I tried very hard was to make them sort and not
to damaging since I knew deep down in my heart that it was a temporary
situation. I have been religious all my life although not pious.
I always knew deep down in my heart that in the most dark moments
God was always there with a helping hand stretched toward me.
I will continue to master my strength always as I have for the
past 25 years and I know that I still have a positive supply that
far outweighs the few bumbs that occasionally appear on the road.
