Once in a palace, lived a very wise and loving. He had a son, the only heir of the kingdom. Good looking, brilliant however he was born with a little physical flaw. He was a little hunchbacked, and therefore unable to walk straightly and firmly. Due to the flaw, the prince got into self-pitying depression, refused to get along with people, and lost almost all confidence. This kind of situation put the King into such heartache. He was worried that if this was continued, byy the time the prince had to be crowned a king, he wouldn't be able to do so because he didn't have the self-confidence and charisma.

The entire kingdom's counselors truly understood the king's worries. After several discreet discussions regarding the issue, one of them secretly ordered one of the kingdom's scluptors to make a statue of the prince, standing straightly, perfectly. Later on this stattue would be given to the prince as his birthday present.

The prince special day came, In a very happy situation, in the presence of the king and queen, the statue covered with cloth was presented, unnderneath engraved beutifully, "To our future leader, from all your people who love thee." When the prince pulled over the cover he was amazed to see such a resemblance of good looking and firmly erected statue. All about the statue was the same, including the height of it.

The prince was verry happy to have the present and it was then put into he kingdom's garden. Every time the prince looked at the statue he was astounded by it. In his heart he kept on saying: "This statue is a gift of love representing my people's wishes of me, to have a king with normal physical appereance. Definetely, I want to be as what my people expect to."

Realizing this, everyday, with very firm determination he walked around the garden with that statue as his center of attention. He was imagining how charismatic he would be if only he could walk and stand straightly just like that statue. With this thought in mind, without any doubts he practiced his walking consistently and persistently every single day.

A year has passed. Finally, the result was amazing. Still with the same gorgeous look, now the prince had the same perfect body just like the statue in the garden. The king was temendously happy with the change. The prince was like a newborn person, with a shining face, walking and standing proudly and perfecttly, and full of self confidence. He knew that his son was now ready to be the next king.

From the above stroy, we can conclude how the power of well-trained positive and focused habits can turn anything which seems impossible into possible. The same thing applies in our life. If we want to turn a dream into reality, to make hope into facts, to make what's already left behind to march forward again, then we have to be brave enough to make all decisions, to build up our positive habits with deterrmination, firm commitment, and focus. With all the new positive habits, well trained positive and constructive traits, it will bring us to the glory of our success. God Bless You !!!
