“Business men who do not know how to fight worry, die young”, said the great Nobel Prize winner in medicine, Dr. Alexis Carrel. Dr. Carrel’s statement is authentic, for we all know that, fear causes worry. Worry makes us tense and nervous and affects the nerves of stomach from normal to abnormal and often leads to stomach ulcers”. Dr. Joseph F. Montague, author of the book Nervous stomach trouble, says: “You do not get stomach ulcers from what you eat. You get ulcers from what is eating you”.
Now here is the story of Wills H. Carries, the brilliant engineer who launched the air conditioning industry, and who is now head of the world famous Carrier Corporation in Syracuse, New York. At his young age Mr. Carrier worked for a company at New York. Difficult situations arose and he was stunned by his failure at work. For a while he was so worried, he couldn’t sleep.
Finally, he figured out a way to handle his problem without worrying. It worked superbly. He has been using this same anti-worry technique for more than thirty years. It is simple. Anyone can use it. It consists of three steps.
Step 1:
Analyse the situation fearlessly and honestly and figure out what was the worst that could
Possibly happen as a result of your failure.
Step 2:
After figuring out what was the worst that could possibly happen, prepare yourself to accept it, if necessary.
Step 3:
Then calmly proceed to improve on the worst which you have already accepted mentally.
By using these three steps Mr. Carries saved his firm from a loss of twenty thousand dollars.
Now, if Wills. H. Carrier could save a twenty-thousand dollar contract by using this magic formula, then isn’t it possible that it may be the answer to same of your troubles? Isn’t it possible that it may even solve problems you thought were unsolvable?
So, if you have a worry problem, apply the magic formula of Wills H. Carrier by doing the three steps mentioned earlier. All the Best!
