Very nice story received this from a friend
this morning ...
A Business executive was deep
in debt and could not see any way out.
Creditors and Suppliers were demanding payments. He sat in the park,
wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared
before him and asked,
"I can see that something is troubling you seriously".
After listening to the executive the old man said, "I believe I can help you".

He asked the...man his name,
wrote out a cheque and put it into his hands saying,
"Take this money, meet me here exactly one year from today and you can pay me back at that time".
Then he turned and disappeared as quickly as he had come.

The business executive saw in
his hands a cheque for $ 500,000
signed by Warren Buffet, one of the richest men in the world.

"I can erase my worries
instantly" he realized.
But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed cheque in his safe
knowing that it might give him the strength to work out to save his business
and to use this only in case of dire emergency.

With changed thinking he
negotiated better deals,
restructured his business and worked rigorously with full zeal
and enthusiasm and got several big deals.

Within few months, he was out
of debt and started making money once again.
Exactly one year later he returned to the park with the uncashed cheque.

As agreed, the old man
appeared.
But just as the executive was
about to hand him back the cheque
and share his success story, a nurse came running up and grabbed the old man.
"I’m so glad I caught him" she cried.
"I hope he hasn’t been bothering you much.

He always escapes from the
mental hospital and tells people that he is Warren Buffet",
saying
this she took the old man away.
The surprised executive just
stood there, stunned!
All year long he had been dealing thinking that he had half a million dollars behind him.
Its not the money, real or imagined that turns our life around
It is our newly found self-confidence that gives us the power to achieve anything we want
