Self confidence- Motivational story

Self-confidence

There was a business executive who was deep in debt and could see no way out.

Creditors were closing in on him. Suppliers were demanding payment. He sat on the park bench, head in hands, wondering if anything could save his company from bankruptcy.

Suddenly an old man appeared before him. “I can see that something is troubling you,” he said.

After listening to the executive’s woes, the old man said, “I believe I can help you.”

He asked the man his name, wrote out a check, and pushed it into his hand 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 hand a check for $500,000, signed by John D. Rockefeller, then one of the richest men in the world!

“I can erase my money worries in an instant!” he realized. But instead, the executive decided to put the uncashed check in his safe. Just knowing it was there might give him the strength to work out a way to save his business, he thought.

With renewed optimism, he negotiated better deals and extended terms of payment. He closed several big sales. Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the park with the uncashed check. At the agreed-upon time, the old man appeared. But just as the executive was about to hand back the check 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. He’s always escaping from the rest home and telling people he’s John D. Rockefeller.”

And she led the old man away by the arm.

The astonished executive just stood there, stunned. All year long he’d been wheeling and dealing, buying and selling, convinced he had half a million dollars behind him.

Suddenly, he realized that it wasn’t the money, real or imagined, that had turned his life around. It was his newfound self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after.

Moral : To own your dreams you must own self-confidence.

आत्मविश्वास

एक व्यवसाय कार्यकारी था जो ऋण में गहरा था और कोई रास्ता नहीं देख सकता था। लेनदार उस पर बंद हो रहे थे। आपूर्तिकर्ता भुगतान की मांग कर रहे थे।

वह पार्क की बेंच पर बैठे थे, सिर पर हाथ रखकर सोच रहे थे कि क्या उनकी कंपनी दिवालिया होने से बचा सकती है। अचानक एक बूढ़ा व्यक्ति उसके सामने आया। “मैं देख सकता हूँ कि कुछ आपको परेशान कर रहा है,” उन्होंने कहा। कार्यकारी व्यक्ति की बातों को सुनने के बाद, बूढ़े व्यक्ति ने कहा, “मुझे विश्वास है कि मैं तुम्हारी मदद कर सकता हूँ।”

उसने उस आदमी से उसका नाम पूछा, एक चेक लिखा, और यह कहते हुए उसके हाथ में धकेल दिया, “यह पैसे ले लो। आज से ठीक एक साल बाद मुझसे यहाँ मिलें, और आप मुझे उस समय वापस भुगतान कर सकते हैं। ” फिर वह मुड़ा और आते ही गायब हो गया।

व्यवसाय कार्यकारी ने अपने हाथ में $ 500,000 का चेक देखा, जो जॉन डी. रॉकफेलर द्वारा हस्ताक्षरित था, जो दुनिया के सबसे धनिक व्यक्तियों में से एक थे!

“मैं एक पल में अपने पैसे की चिंताओं को मिटा सकते हैं!” उसे पता चला। लेकिन इसके बजाय, कार्यपालिका ने बिना देखें चेक को अपनी तिजोरी में रखने का फैसला किया। बस यह जानकर कि उसे अपने व्यवसाय को बचाने के लिए काम करने की ताकत मिल सकती है, उसने सोचा। नवीनीकृत आशावाद के साथ, उन्होंने बेहतर सौदों और भुगतान की विस्तारित शर्तों पर बातचीत की। उन्होंने कई बड़ी बिक्री को बंद कर दिया। कुछ महीनों के भीतर, वह कर्ज से बाहर हो गया और एक बार फिर पैसा कमा रहा था।

ठीक एक साल बाद, वह बिना चेक किए पार्क में लौट आया। सहमत हुए समय पर, बूढ़ा व्यक्ति दिखाई दिया। लेकिन जैसे ही कार्यकारी वापस चेक सौंपने और अपनी सफलता की कहानी साझा करने वाला था, एक नर्स दौड़ती हुई आई और वृद्ध को पकड़ लिया। “मुझे खुशी है कि मैंने उसे पकड़ लिया!” वह रोई। “मुझे आशा है कि वह आपको परेशान नहीं कर रहा है। वह हमेशा रेस्ट होम से भागता है और लोगों को बताता है कि वह जॉन डी रॉकफेलर है। ” और वह हाथ से बूढ़े आदमी का नेतृत्व किया।

चकित कार्यकारी वहीं खड़ा था, स्तब्ध। पूरे साल वह व्हीलचेयरिंग और डीलिंग, खरीद और बिक्री करता रहा, उसने आश्वस्त किया कि उसके पीछे उसका आधा मिलियन डॉलर है। अचानक, उन्होंने महसूस किया कि यह पैसा नहीं था, वास्तविक या कल्पना, जिसने उनका जीवन बदल दिया था। यह उनका नया आत्मविश्वास था जिसने उन्हें कुछ भी हासिल करने की शक्ति दी, जिसके बाद वे चले गए।

नैतिक : अपने सपनों को पूरा करने के लिए, सबसे पहले आपमें आत्मविश्वास होना चाहिए।
