Do not get Limited By Negative Thoughts

Dont get Limited By Negative Thoughts.

 

Here's a story about George Dantzig - the famed mathematician, whose

contributions to Operations Research and systems engineering have made

him immortal.

 

As a college student, George studied very hard often late into the

night. So late, that he overslept one morning, arriving 20 minutes

late for Prof. Neyman's class.

 

On arrival in class, he saw two maths problems written on board. He

quickly copied the two maths problems on the board, assuming that they

were the homework assignment. After reaching home, it took him several

hours to work through the two problems, but finally he had a

breakthrough and dropped the homework on Neyman's desk the next day.

 

Six weeks later, on a Sunday morning, his excited professor awakened

George at 6 a.m.

 

Since George was late for class, he hadn't heard the professor

announce that the two unsolvable equations on the board were

mathematical 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 stumped mathematicians 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.

 

You have accepted it as the best you can do at this moment. Any time

you're ready to go beyond the imitations currently in your life,

you're capable of doing that by choosing 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 out how.

 

A person is limited only by the thoughts that he/she chooses.

 

This story began to spread, and was used as a motivational lesson

demonstrating the power of positive thinking. Over time Dantzig’s name

was removed and facts were altered, but the basic story has persisted

in the form of an urban legend
