hi there
today after attending another lecture on business management with andrew (and i am going to share some wonderful views with you tomorrow), i read a passage from the 'national geographic' which talks about exactly the same subject i learned today, and it reads as follows:
the following is from a mountain climber who tackles peaks in alaska, canada, tanzania, kenya and the congo:
"every ascent gave me the joy of accomplishment. each had something to teach. lesson no. one: how to 'handle situations'. learn to be calm in the face of chaos.
Lesson no. two: perseverance. 'if you have to crawl on hands and knees, you are going to get there'.
the last lesson: observation. pay attention to details, the weather, your gear and every step you take.
climbing mountains stretches you physically and mentally. you tap reserves you never knew you had. doubt evaporates. you know who you are and what you can do.
THE SECRET OF HIS ABILITY TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE - 'TRUSTED HIMSELF'.
this is exactly what i have been taught by my buddhists teaching in the last ten years: stay calm, peservere and trust. trust in yourself, trust in your own ability, trust in the abundance of the universe, trust that you will have a good future, etc......., trust and all that you trust will materialise. very useful, right?
cheers
