| We all hear about a kind of feeling called ESP (超感官知觉). And we know a great many stories about it. Here I want to ask you, "Have you ever 1 felt that someone you know was in trouble-and 2 ? Have you ever dreamed of something that came true later?" Maybe you have ESP. ESP 3 Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events 4 they happen, or events that are happening some distance away. Here is a(n) 5 0 : A woman was doing washing. Suddenly she 6 , "My father is dead!I saw him 7 in the chair!" Just then, a telegram came. The woman's father had 8 of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair. There are thousands of stories like this 9 record. Scientists are studying them to find out 10 is behind these strange mental 11 . Here's another example-one of hundreds of dreams that have come true. A man dreamed he was walking along a road 12 a carriage came by. The driver said, "There's room for one more." The man felt the driver was 13 ,so he ran away. The next day the man was getting on a crowded bus. This bus driver 14 . "There's room for one more." Then the man saw the driver's face was the same face he had 15 in the dream. He 16 get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and 17 flames. Everyone was killed! 18 people say stories like these are lies or coincidences. Others, including some scientists say the ESP is 19 from studies of ESP, we may some day learn 20 about the human mind. | ||||

| One day not too long ago the employees of a large company in St.Louis, Missouri returned from their lunch break and were greeted with a sign on the front door. The sign said: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to attend the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym." At first everyone was sorry to hear that one of their colleagues had died, but after a while they started getting curious about who this person might be. The excitement grew as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last respects. Everyone wondered: "Who is this person that was hindering my progress?Well, at least he's no longer here!" One by one the employees got closer to the coffin and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood over the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin:everyone who looked inside it could see himself. There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: "There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth:it is you." You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself. Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life. |
