  One day 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(阻碍)your growth in this company passed away.We invite you to join the funeral(葬礼)in the room that has been prepared in the gym.”

  At first everyone was sad 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(棺材)and when they looked inside it they 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 can set limits to your growth:it is YOU.”

  You are the only person who can revolutionize(彻底改变)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 family changes, when your friends change, when your boss changes, and 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.

Invitation

A woman came out of her house and saw three old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard. She thought they were hungry and invited them in to have something to eat.

They refused because her husband was out.

  71 “Go to tell them I am home and invite them in!” The woman went out and invited them in. “We do not go into a House together,” they replied. “Why is that?” she wanted to know.

One of the old men explained: “His name is Wealth,” he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, “He is Success, and I am Love.” Then he added, “Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home.”

The woman went in and told her husband what was said. Her husband was overjoyed. He said “  72  Let him come and fill in our home with wealth!”

His wife disagreed. “My dear, why don’t we invite Success?” Their daughter-in-law was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: “Would it not be better to invite Love?   73 ”

The woman went out and asked the three old men, “Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest.”

Love got up and started walking toward the house.  74  Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: “I only invited Love. Why are you coming in?”

The old men replied together: “If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would’ve stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him.  75 ”

A.The other two also got up and followed him.

B.Our home will then be filled with love!

C.In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

D.They were very happy to be invited.

E.         Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!
