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.
