“To achieve the impossible; it is precisely the unthinkable that must be thought.” #Tom Robbins
The news that make headlines are, either sensational, or something that inspire a lot.
One such post I recently read, is about 3 young boys aged less than 16 years who spent more than 50 days on a small boat drifting in the ocean, and remember: Without food and water. What made them survive such extreme adversity is definitely worth a serious thought.
Well, I think, somewhere deep down their mind there flourished an unrelenting desire to fight it out -- helping them demonstrate extreme mental toughness and exhibit a few out-of-the-box thought processes.
Yes, they did a few things quite differently, and intelligently too, that surely helped them remain alive for such a long time in an otherwise hopeless situation.To know more about their struggle, click here.
So, success, while negotiating the worst time, demands, not only an exceptional mental toughness to absorb extreme pains and agonies but also -- an ability to stimulate the brain for formulating situation specific out-of-the-box strategies.
I'm sure, most us would have lost it out to the circumstances, much before, but they didn't, because they decided not to.
However, I truly believe, all of us can develop the strength and succor needed to successfully fight against the obstacles on our path to achieving the impossibles in life, if we really make up our mind -- and act intelligently.
Thanks to all these young boys for setting an example of 'Never Give Up' attitude.
