People who believe they have control over what happens to them are more likely to believe in themselves and take action. Jerry Long is a good example. When he was 17 years old,he broke his neck in a diving accident. As a result, he couldn't move most of his body, and he had to hold a stick between his teeth to type. In the same situation, many people might give up. Long, however, said that his life remained full of meaning and purpose. He said, " I broke my neck, it didn't break me."
Don't wait for a horrible situation. Start to develop this positive attitude today. Then, you'll be better prepared for anything.
