In the two
preceding chapters, which
com- pared a VOLCANO to a COLD FISH,
I hope you'll found a lesson
in personality development.
Now let's turn
from heat and
cold, and let's examine
FORCE and POWER-or the lack of them.
Imagine that you are in
Yellowstone National Park with
the huge crowd waiting to
see the spectacular geyser, Old Faithful, erupt in its
tremendous exhibition of irrepressible water power!
At the same time, imagine that you are holding in your hand a
toy water pistol.
Then, in all of its
sensational, awesome power, the
great geyser bursts skyward
in a towering
display of steaming water-one of the most
amazing natural power spectaculars man has ever seen!
The huge crowd of
viewers from all
over the world gasps at the magnificent demonstration
of unleashed power!
Then you look at the
toy water pistol in your hand.
You boldly pull
the trigger . . .
and out of the
muzzle
of your toy
water pistol comes
a little squirt
of water which diminishes
to an even
smaller dribble and ends weakly in a drip.
Well?
Well, you have
just seen the
difference between a powerful
geyser and a little squirt. Both used
the same material . .. water. But what a difference!
It is a difference worth remembering
because Life gives you that same choice: To be
a powerful geyser -or a little squirt! With the same material ... YOU!
You can acquire
the spectacular power
and skyward thrust
of a great
geyser-or you can be
a little squirt which soon ends in a dribbling, downward drip.
The choice is
yours!
If
you choose greatness-you
will find the methods
and techniques in the following chapters.
