                                                           The Mind Of A Non-Conformist

                          "If you place a limit on what you can do, you have placed a limit on what you can become."

One of the very first achievers price is developing the mind of a non-conformist. A non-conformist is someone who does not follow ways of living, thinking, or behaving accepted by most people. That it is a common trend, does not make it effective! Believe me! Until you are tired of your current state, you cannot make a change.

Therefore, a non-conformist is a person who refuses to be satisfied with his present state. Every world's Greatest were people that refused to accept their present state. They saw themselves becoming better in their current successes.

Friends! If you get to a point in your life and you become satisfied, you cannot go beyond that state.

                                                       "Satisfaction is the termination of progress."

Every progress gets terminated at the point of satisfaction. If you ever get satisfied at your present success, there is no hope of any more progress in your journey to become the world's great.

                                                                  THE WRIGHT BROTHERS

About 1899, the world-renowned scientists met in London and concluded that it was practically impossible for any piece of metal to fly in the air. This was after much reseach and studies has been done in that respect. This was to say that there was no possibility of having an air craft invented on the earth. Do you know that most of these distingished scientists' progress to that effect was terminated. But not for the Wright Brothers. These two brothers refused to terminate their dream becuase they were not satisfied with their present progress. Against this backdrop, Wilbur Wright, one of the brother said:

                           "I am convinced that human flight is both possible and practical."

Wilbur and Orville Wright despised this conclusion by the scientists and kept on at their experiment. Ah! These two brothers decided to grow wings rather than buying crutches in the face of their troubles knowing fully well that:

                            "In the presence of trouble, some people grow wings, others buy crutches."
                                                                         -- Harold W.Ruoff.

Friends! May I announce to you that the Wrights created their first powered craft, which successfully flew on December 17, 1903 at Kitty Hawk. They proved the scientists wrong, by flying the first machine in the air! Till today, we are still flying in the air! Praise God! What a mind of a non-conformist! They are celebrated today as the world's greatest.

Beloved, it doesn't matter how long it will take, if only you can develop the mind of a non-conformist, then you will surely get there. It took the Wright Brothers from 1899 to 1903, before they could be celebrated. You too will be celebrated very soon, only maintain your focus.

Yes! That your dream can come to reality! You can become the best in your class! The best in your office! The very best in your line of business! All you need is to develop the mind of a non-conformist. You got to make up your mind on what you want to be and become. Remember!

                                  "You postpone your life when you cannot make up your mind".

Henry Ford said: "whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you are right". He was the man that gave his generation the motorcar cylinder engine against all odds! Even though his friends or circumstances around were all negative, he kept his inner being - his thoughts (mind) positive, and he became a celebrity. Infact, you are what your thinking makes you. Fix your mind upon the highest and the highest you shall be.
