FREEB’S LAW

In our Be An 11 Class we focus a great deal of attention on the concept of 'Positive Opposites.' In fact, on our classroom wall (which is completely adorned - floor to ceiling- with motivational posters and materials we have these two posters, side by side. On the left Murphy's Law, a picture of a '36 Ford stuck in the mud with people trying to push and pull its way out of it. The car is surrounded with Murphyisms especially "If anything can go wrong it will, and the worst thing that can happen will happen."

Next to the Murphy poster is the 'Road to Success' poster. Perhaps you have seen it, "The Road to Success is always Under Construction.' We'd really like to correct the poster maker and say, "The Success Road IS Always Under Construction" because once you make the decision to seek success is the minute you welcome more success into your life. Success is not something out there that you travel to - it is something that you experience all along the way.

Success is Choice; So is Failure. The choice is your. And you make those choices every day.

Getting back to the positive opposites. We like to counter Murphy's Law with Freeb's Law: If anything can go right, it will go right. And the best possible thing that can happen will happen; when you believe.

People in our society today have no trouble in identifying with Murphy and unfortunately more and more people fell that they are as stuck in the mud with Murphy, bogged down. How often do you have that bogged down feeling. It is, of course, a choice. A choice you made.

Not as many people identify with Freeb's Law. In fact, recent studies indicate that only 20% or less of the folks in the American work force are satisfied with their career choice. How sad. If you do not like the job you have, if you cannot get along with the people you work with daily, If you just have to drag yourself to work each day just to get a paycheck, I guess you would feel trapped, bogged down, desperate.

Would it not be better to Live You Dream?

The Boise State Broncos beat OK because they BELIEVED!

Instead of kicking the extra-point to tie the game and send it into a second overtime, Broncos coach Chris Petersen risked defeat to go for the two-point conversion to win. He ran their innovative trick play of the night. It was a variation... of the Statue of Liberty play known to the team simply as "Statue Left," which was drawn up by backup quarterback Taylor Tharp. Boise State lined up three receivers on the right side. After the snap, QB Zabransky faked a quick pass to his right with his right hand, then quickly handed off the football backhanded with his left hand to running back Ian Johnson, who ran untouched into the end zone for the conversion and the win.
