The Power Is At Your Finger tips
This is not a social experiment nor is it a story made up to prove a point.
Everything written here is FACT and has happened; you can say it’s a true story without an ending.
This is a story of 2 people who was born in Cambridge in the UK. Born from the same parents and lived in the same address for many years.
The up bringing was the same, they had 2 older sisters who were also bought up exactly the same.
The first boy born on May the 17th 1981 was very independent from a young age and whenever he had a problem he would find a solution himself.
For example – his bike got a puncture so he would take it apart, without knowing what he was doing in order to get it fixed to get out and ride the bike again.
As that boy went through high school he wasn’t the best behaved but always learnt his lesson when he had don’t wrong.
Not to push it so far that his problems couldn’t he fixed with another solution.
After leaving school he got an apprentice as a veichle mechanic, as he wanted to do. He was always playing with bikes, motobikes and cars so it seemed the right path to follow.
Well he did 1 year at that job and quit, he looked at the qualified mechanics and realised that he didn’t want to be in the same position in 20 years time.
The opportunity can up to be an electricians mate, which was basically being a labourer for a qualified electrician.
This job also gave him opportunities to travel, not just around the country but all over the world.
But still he wanted more, so started his very own electrical contractors business, the business grew and was a very successful company.
Again he wasn’t happy with the path he was taking so quit after 20 years of running a electrical business.
Now there were some hiccups along the way, but they were overcome and to go into detail of them now would be a whole book .
The other person born on October 5th 1982, so not much of an age gap but still younger.
This boy went through high school getting into trouble all the time, so much so he was expelled and was put into a school with other students who had been expelled.
After leaving high school with qualifications but again nothing fantastic.
After a number of arrests and involvements with the police he followed the first persons path to become an electrician with the same company.
Again he was able to travel around the world and experience different cultures of many countries.
But one mistake which he could turn back from one day ended him up in prison.
It took a coupe stays in prison to make him realise that he life was going nowhere.
He began working for different companies and even tried to set up his own business which didn’t really take off.
To this day, at the age of 37 he asks to barrow money to be able to afford food to survive.
Now the relevance of this whole story is that both people had the same opportunities from birth.
It was all down the choices that they both made in order to get somewhere in life.
If you don’t work on your mind set from the beginning then it can take you down some wrong paths and take you to places you don’t really want to be.
The great thing is that the mind can be changed, just like a dog can be trained to smell drugs, the human mind can he educated to think differently.
You just need to be open mined to let it happen.
How do I know this is true and not a story just put together for a article – because the first person is me. The second is my little brother James.
