The Secret Is Everywhere!
Submitted by: Abhimanyu
Chandigarh, IndiaI was a Mariner and sailed across oceans for 15 years. I always had an inclination toward starting my own business. After 4 unsuccessful attempts, I struck gold. It's been 5 years now since I have been a successful entrepreneur.
I was a Mariner and have sailed for 15 years of my life. During my career, we had to go to college and clear exams at different times in our lives to get promoted to the next rank.
So the story dates back to 2009. I had not known about The Secret back then. After completing my basic training, and cadetship, I was eligible for my first promotion to an officer’s life. During my cadetship, my salary was about 500 USD a month and the exams and college would help me get promoted to a third mate on the ship. That would give me a salary level of 3,400 USD a month.
So the college was for 4 months and later we had to appear for exams. During my college time, there was one subject that I never liked. It was ‘Principles of Navigation’. This subject was too theoretical for me and I was never a crammer. I could solve equations but theory was never my cup of tea. The college I was in was one of the strictest colleges and to pass the exam one had to study hard.
One day, I joked with a friend. The joke was something like, what if the college lost someone’s answer sheet for the main exam? But then the joke ended and the semester continued.
Then came the main exams. I studied the entire night for the Principles of Navigation exam but sadly, I failed. I was given another chance.
I studied until 6 in the morning and went for the exam at 8 am. The result of the exam was supposed to be declared after 5 days.
When I went to check the result, my name was not mentioned on the list. Curious, I went to the admin department. I asked the lady about my results. To my surprise, she replies, “Were you absent?” To which my answer was, “Please check the attendance sheet. I was there. I studied until 6 am in the morning and came in for the exam at 8 am.” Well, her final reply was, “I think we have lost your answer sheet. Please do not tell this to anyone. I am going to pass you.”
My happiness knew no bounds!!
Once I came to know about The Secret in 2011, I recalled this incident and was sure that The Secret works.
Since then I have had numerous incidents happen and I will be sharing more of those stories here.
