A friend sent this to me this morning and I think it worth to share...''What if it works''
``The queue to the ATM machine was something else because we all
wanted to withdraw money. Although there was another machine beside it, nobody
moved towards the second machine. We had about 25 people on one single queue.
When my sis & I got
there, I also went to queue but she asked one of the customers what was wrong
with the other machine. 'I don't know', he said, '... but somebody said there
is no money in it'.
After listening to that
'somebody' tale, my sis told me to move straight to the machine everyone
neglected and inserted my card. Lo and behold, the same machine 'somebody' said
would not work, dispensed the sum of N25,000.
As we were walking away
like
a magician, others who saw some cash I had withdrawn
broke away from the initial queue and rushed to that machine.

Why did I tell you this
experience?
1. People don't get
something they need from somewhere because they refused to try.
2. People refused to try
because 'somebody' somewhere said it won't work.
3 The somebody somewhere
may be an old authority who doesn't believe in evolution.
4. People won't take
steps to do what others don't do because of the 'what if it doesn't work?'
question.
5. People ask this
question because they don't want to take risks.
6. Those who don't take
the risk of checking if the other machine is working will remain on the long
queue and may not even get what they need eventually. Meaning achieving in 2hrs
what they could have achieved in 2min.
7. When a pacesetter
comes and succeeds after 'chesting' the criticisms, others break ranks and
follow him.
Therefore, stop
believing 'the somebody' that asks 'what if it doesn't work?'
Ask another question:
'What if it works?'
Never allow anybody to
discourage you!```
