Even Hardy Oil Workers Believe!
Submitted by: Clair S.
ScotlandI'm 43 tomorrow. I have worked offshore in the North Sea on an oil platform for 24 yrs. I am a non smoker and haven't had any alcohol in 2 and half years. I love weight training and keep as healthy as possible.
I was working on a oil platform. It happened a few years ago.
I was a stewardess and worked with around 150 -155 guys and most of the time I was the only female. I worked a 2 on/2 off/2 on/4 off rotation and I knew nearly everyone as I love interacting with people.
I noticed that one of the guys who was core crew wasn’t on, so I asked where Russell was and someone told me he was off and was sick. I then got told he had cancer in the mouth. I was so upset as I always had banter with him and such a lovely guy. Someone said it may not be good. I couldn’t sleep that night thinking about Russell.
I had an idea. I always carried my copy of The Secret book when I travelled to the oil rig. I spoke to one of his close friends on the rig who stayed near him and was going to visit him. I asked his opinion about giving him the book as I didn’t want to impose on him and his family. He said he would like it. I put a bookmark to the health section and on how other people came through ill health.
While in hospital him and his wife both read the book from front to back and loved it. He was a very ill person battling cancer.
Guess what?
Guess who came back to work? One of my favorite people “Russell”!!
He took me aside and said the doctors didn’t know how he got through his battle!! He just told me he believed in the book!! And believed it was The Secret. I received a lovely CD and a beautiful thank you card from him and his wife.
I’ll never forget that experience. I love The Secret.
