Think Beyond!!!!!!!!!!!

Two intresting and motivating stories from another blogger...which caught my eye when i was browsing ..

A story about George Dantzig - the famed mathematician who's contributions to Operations Research and systems engineering have made him immortal.

As a college student, George studied very hard and often late into the night. So late, that he overslept one morning,arriving 20 minutes late for Prof. Neyman's class. He quickly copied the twomaths problems on the board, assuming they were the homework assignment.It took him several days to work through the two problems, but finally he had a breakthrough anddropped the homework on Neyman's desk the next day.Six weeks later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. by his excited professor. Since George was late for class,hehadn't heard the professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board weremathematical mind-teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able to answer.But George Dantzig, working without any thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems that had stumpedmathematicians for thousands of years.Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know he couldn't.

You are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted by you as the best you can do at this moment. Any time you're ready to go beyond the limitations currently in your life, you'recapable of doing that bychoosing different thoughts. All you must do is figure out how you can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made your mind up to do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure outhow.A person is limited only by the thoughts that he/shechooses.


Second :

..According to a theory ofaerodynamics that the bumblebee should be unable tofly? The bumblebee's size, weight, and shape of itsbody, in relationship to its total wing span, flyingis technically impossible. The bumblebee, beingignorant of the technical theory, goes on and fliesanyway and makes honey everyday.

You and I need to take a few lessons from thebumblebee. First of all, if the bumblebee were to look at its size, it would say "My body is too big formy wings, for that reason I am not able to fly." I fit looked at its weight, it would say, "I'm too heavy,it is impossible for my wings to create enough lift for me to do the job I was created to do." If it looked at the contour of its body it would say "Forget it, it is scientifically impossible for me to dothis." Now, what's your excuse? Who or what is screaming at you that you can't possibly do what you desire to do? When are you going to look them in the face and say,"Watch me!" "I will overcome these odds, I believe Ican fly." I don't care who or what is telling you that you can't....
