Yes, You CAN
Time and again demotivated students who are not performing well ask us the question whether they will be able to perform well in the final exam or not, the reason for asking such question is not that they don’t have faith in us but the reason is that they don’t trust themselves enough to believe that they can really do it. Only a few students who have felt the power of belief are the ones who have reached the upper echelons of success.
Why does everyone doubt their capacity? It is not because they feel they are weak, it is because they have been made to feel like that. This can be understood by the following story. Once upon a time, 2 little children were playing near the well, when one of them all of a sudden fell in the well. The other friend cried for help but to his shock, the place was a secluded one and no one was nearby to help them. The young child threw the rope attached to the well to the boy who had fallen inside and with all his strength pulled out the boy who was even heavier than him. When they went to their home and narrated the whole story to their surprise everyone refused to believe it stating that they are playing a prank, How come a small boy pulls out a boy out of well all alone. The villagers along with family members of children went to a sage who was meditating nearby to ask whether the children are saying the truth and how could a young boy do such a herculean task. The sage replied only in one sentence, “There was no one nearby to tell the boy that he cannot do such a task.”
The human brain is like a computer which is programmed from the tender age on what all it can do and what all it cannot. But your potential is much more than your mind can ever imagine and your body can ever perform, Steve Jobs has famously said; “Only those who were foolish enough to believe that they can change the world are the one who really do”. Never let any person make you believe that a particular task is beyond your reach because it always seems impossible until it is done.
Next time when anyone says that you cannot do any particular thing, just pass a smile and say in your heart loudly, Yes I Can. However, this can happen only when you exercise complete control over your mind and your emotions and channelize all your good, bad, waste, use less energy in one direction. Always remember Massive Success is the Biggest Revenge.
