Either You Have It or You Don't

Sometimes things work exactly as they want, but often not. There is also a kick in the shin or a slug in the gut that takes the wind out of us, many times something more inspired if you choose to look with the right attitude. It is, without anger, guilt and faith, we can learn a lot from the unexpected. Take for example the following story. Bernardo Castro emigrated to New York from Sicily, but in his teens. One night it snowed in the type of cold that chilled to the bone. He was a class at night DeWitt Clinton High School to learn English. From his room at a cheap price on the east side sees the snow come down until there was a foot deep and traffic was stopped. The wind was whistling, he did not want to go all the way to the Westside to the class because I had no money and he would go across the street. He was exhausted from working all day as an upholsterer and knew that the rock would not play in the cold wind and shoes too thin to maintain the freezing of wet snow from his feet to make ice. When I saw the weather outside his window, he remembered something he read in the newspaper a few days earlier. A reporter said that the difference between success and failure is often the simple desire to make an extra effort, go the extra mile and pay extra difficulties. Or has this quality or not. Slowly he pulled thin layer and put a scarf around his neck and forced his way into the night. Neighborhood after neighborhood, hands and feet growing numb, until he came to school. It was blocked. A porter looked at him, "Are you crazy?" No one comes out on a night like this! The school is closed! "He closed the door. How many of us would have made the trip at all? Very, very few for sure. But even if we had, like many of us would have cursed the closed door, the guard, snow, wind, the day the circumstance, how many would have used to strengthen this stage that things work for us, that "you can not win for losing"? Now he had to turn around and retrace his steps. As the wind whipped around him and snow continues to fall came to a realization. Two thousand students, was the only way through the night and the appalling conditions in order to appear for class. It was the only one who did what was necessary to go the extra mile to show the extra effort to reach deep in every fiber of his being wanted to go out and move on when all others do not. Just then, when he knew he had what it takes to succeed.> From that moment, he chose to do with the unique perspective, he knew that the desire that had driven over New York City, in the cold night and boring to sustain. Have never forget that moment or that night. This happened many years ago and Bernard Castro worked his way through the Great Depression and opened their own activities, which was a great achievement in itself. What is remarkable about him is his ability to see value and potential hidden around him led to a discovery many years later that changed his life forever. His company has grown into a coating, and then interior design business for the manufacture of furniture. One day he looked like a castle on a friend's Cabin cruiser was folded and turned into a place. He had an idea. He designed the sofa Castro was slimmer and more attractive design of the day. It made him famous and rich. However, it became a success long before. It happened one night on the icy streets of New York City.
