Lean the principles to help you to achieve your goals

Introduction

“Moderation is a fatal thing, nothing succeeds like excess.” – Oscar Wilde

What would you do if you knew you could achieve anything you set your mind to? Where would you go if you had the means to travel anywhere in the world? If money, education, and other resources were no object, what would you like to be, do, and have?

The truth is, there are no real limitations to what we can achieve in life. The only limits we have are the ones we place on ourselves

The Story of the Boy and the Echo

There is a story about a boy who was walking along a mountainous path with his father. The boy slipped and fell, and he called out for help.

“Somebody, help me!” he cried.

A voice echoed back, “Somebody, help me!”

The boy was confused. “Who are you?” he asked.

“Who are you?” the voice replied.

“You are a coward!” the boy shouted.

“You are a coward!” the voice echoed back.

“You are a fool!” the boy shouted again.

“You are a fool!” the voice repeated.

The boy’s father reached out and helped him up. “Son,” he said, “that is called an echo. It sends back the vibration of your words. But it is also true of life. Life gives you exactly what you give to it.”

The father then shouted, “You are a winner!”

The echo replied, “You are a winner!”

The father shouted again, “You have got what it takes!”

The echo shouted back, “You have got what it takes!”

The father boomed, “You can make it!”

The echo reverberated, “You can make it!”

The boy’s father then turned to him and said, “Son, that is how life works. Whatever you send out, comes back to you.”
