During war the military
commanders plan for coming
days,, they busy for these preparations never lose sleep
over supposed consequences. They think of suspected threats of attacks,
. They get can not go on continuously worrying
over their actions, failures on
the front , this would not allow them to live any longer.
Dale Carnegie has
given a lively instance of USA’s Navy
Admiral Ernest J King, he is said to have spoken like this : “ I have supplied the besty men with best equipment and have also given them the best wisest
mission. That is all I can do.
“
If a ship has been sunk, I can’t bring it up.If it is going to be , I can’t
stop it. I can use my time and much
better working on tomorrow’s problem than by fretting about yesterday’s
disasters . Besides, if I let those things get me, I would not last long “
This
is what I saw in some war movies, particularly “ The Longest Day “ , “ Saving
of Private Ryan “ and others. The soldiers saw their collegues dying before
their eyes, Officers saw the soldiers dying in number, but they had not waited
to morn the deaths, some grievously soldiers were to be left behind and they
had to march forward and complete the mission.
Whether in
war or peace, the chief difference between
good and bad thinking is this : Good thinking deals with causes and
effects and leads to logical and and constructive planning. While bad
thinking leads to tension and nervous breakdowns and consequent disasters
One step enough for me
=================
The publisher of the New York Times, Arthur Hays Sulzberger once confided how he banished
worries from his mind: He said the “ He
was never able to banish his
worries and find peace until he had adopted the following 5
words from the Church Hymn :
“ One step enough for me “
“ Lead kindly light
…
Keep you my feet I do not ask to see
I The distant
scene;
One step enough for
me “
Indian
thinker Acharya Rajnish had also said
in the same vein, he said even
when you want to set on a journey of 1000 miles, the first thing you will be
required to do is take one step
forward…. In utter darkness , you can not remove the deep and long
darkness even if you have millions of
tube lights and search batteries. You can not remove the darkness lying before
you, it is impossible. What you need to
do is to take a lantern which can throw light only 3 feet ahead , that is
enough. With every step taken , the light of the lantern will go ahead, you can follow the lighted
path, every 3 feet but you can travel
hundreds of miles with the help of this
tiny lantern of 3 feet light ahead !
