Here's a story about George Dantzig - the famed mathematician who'scontributions to Operations Research and systems engineering have madehim immortal.
As a college student, George studied very hard and often late into
the night. So late, that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minuteslate for Prof. Neyman's class. He quickly copied the two maths problemson the board, assuming they were the homework assignment. It took himseveral days to work through the two problems, but finally he had abreakthrough and dropped the homework on Neyman's desk the next day.
Six weeks later, on a Sunday morning, George was awakened at 6 a.m. byhis excited professor. Since George was late for class, he hadn't heardthe professor announce that the two unsolvable equations on the boardwere mathematical mind-teasers that even Einstein hadn't been able toanswer.
But George Dantzig, working withoutany thoughts of limitation, had solved not one, but two problems thathad stumped mathematicians for thousands of years.
Simply put, George solved the problems because he didn't know hecouldn't.
You are not limited to the life you now live. It has been accepted byyou as the best you can do at this moment. Any time you're ready to gobeyond the limitations currently in your life, you're capable of doingthat by choosing different thoughts. All you must do is figure out howyou can do it, not whether or not you can. And once you have made yourmind up to do it, it's amazing how your mind begins to figure out how.
A person is limited only by the thoughts that he/she chooses.
Sometimes, there is no next time , no second chance, no time out..Sometimes, its NOW or NEVER...
