Mark A. Ittleman The Teaching of Talking |
“No matter how great an accomplishment may appear today, it had a beginning like a seed in the depth of someone’s imagination.”
This morning I came across the sports section of The Orange County Register, Orange County, California and spied an article written by Staff Columnist Jeff Miller concerning a 7-year old boy who was playing golf and achieved a HOLE in ONE the first time he used the clubs that were given to him for having perfect attendance in kindergarten. His grandparents had given him the golf clubs for having perfect attendance in kindergarten.
Just about anyone can use their imagination for accomplishment |
When asked further how he did it, the little 7-year-old boy stated: “I just focused on looking at the ball, and I drew my line.” “I just hit the ball and it went the way I imagined.”
Isn’t it weird and crazy about youth thinking they can do just about anything by using their imagination?
The ability to use the imagination is the seed to achievement; ask anyone from Albert Einstein, ThomasEdison, Martin Luther King to athletes of the distant past like Babe Ruth. Accomplishment occurs when we set a goal, imagine it thoroughly and repeatedly, and anticipate its arrival. It works in just about every human endeavor, even speech therapy and speaking improvement. Chances are it will work for you!
It starts with the seed of an idea, or goal, repeated thoughts of its accomplishment, and then going out and obtaining the knowledge and skill to make it happen. The Teaching of Talking
