You can see this as a curse or as a blessing

It depends on you, said the surgeon to Niki Lauda after Niki Lauda’s heavy accident in Formula I racing. Lauda’s face was burnt and ugly after the accident…

6 weeks later, after recovering from the accident, where he nearly died, Niki Lauda started again racing and won his first race… He kept racing 6 years more and won again and again.

Think over, what are the curses you got in your life hood…

Define them as a blessing.

And never give up!

The problem is that we can give up after we get challenged too hard, or a strain of bad luck…

During Lauda’s time of racing, there was a second great champ James Hunt…

James Hunt was well known for participating in sex parties and drinking like crazy…
Niki Lauda was well known for his coolness, rationality, and his calculating mind.

James participated in the worst parties slept with as many fans as he could and drank a lot before every race…

Niki and James were good friends, even with such opposite characters.

Niki kept challenging and James gave up early and died early at 41 years!

Honesty, I was “blessed” again and again…
Still, I have a problem being grateful for all of my “blessings”.

We have to check, on what curses we are still suffering from…
And to reverse them…

Otherwise, we are crippled by our own negative mindset and can’t take new opportunities that relate to our sufferings!

They asked Niki after his accident, why he continues to do the racing…

I do what I can do at best and if this would not be racing, I would do the other thing that I can do at best!

But your face got burned so ugly…
I don’t drive with my face!
