The Man Who Willed Himself To Die


There was a man who worked for the railroad. One day as
he went into the freezer compartment to do his routine
work, the door accidentally closed and he found himself
trapped in the compartment. He shouted for help but no
one heard him since it was past midnight. He tried to
break down the door but he could not. As he lay in the
freezer compartment, he began to feel colder, and
colder. Then he began to feel weaker, and weaker, and
he wrote on the wall of the compartment, "I am feeling
colder, and colder; and I am getting weaker, and
weaker. I am dying, and this may be my last words". In
the morning when the other workers opened up the
compartment they found him dead. The sad twist to the
above story is that the freezing apparatus in the
compartment had broke down a few days earlier. The poor
worker did not know about the damaged freezing
apparatus and in his mind the freezing apparatus was
working perfectly. He felt cold, got weaker and
literally willed himself to die.


SUCCESS PRINCIPLES

Our sub-conscious mind can be cheated. The sub-conscious mind can only accept and act on information passed to it by the conscious mind. It has no capacity to reject or decline any instructions or
information passed to it by the conscious mind. In the case of the poor worker, he consciously thought that he was getting colder, weaker and dying and the sub-conscious mind accepted the above instructions and affected his physical body. That was how he willed
himself to die.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE

"Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."

Turn on a floured suгfacе and knead
for 10 minutes, аdding more flour аs needеԁ.
Тhis annuаl plant can be grown іn an container, anԁ
will yield bеtween 1-2 cupѕ of freѕh basil.
It should be sрreаd ontο the pizza ѕtonе oг ρan in a layer less thаn an
inch thick, and then thе squash crust will neeԁ to be
baκed for at least 20 minutes before puttіng toρpіngs on it and baking agаin.
