    your time control YOU!

    • Your mouth is the keyboard that types information into your mental
    computer.
    • Your mind can pull up what you have programmed in.
    • When you say that you can do something your brain will help you by running
    the ‘HOW’ program.
    • When you say that you can’t do something, your brain will only run the
    ‘WHY’ program
    SO CHOOSE YOURS WORDS WISELY

     To this you brain will reply “Imight as well give up
    now”.
    - If I work hard, I know I can do it
     To this your brain will definitely reply “Yeah! You can
    start working on it today, and with some hard work be
    done in time.”

    yourself on regular basis.
