I take pride in sharing the success strategies of my new friend, John Miranda who is all of 62 summers young. He continues to stay employed, and is a leader in his organization. His energy is highly infectious, infused with enthusiasm and warmth. In the 1960’s, he was a self-trained, national-level athlete, whose best timings were:
100 metres: Best unofficial time was 11.2 seconds (hand-timed)
400 metres: 49.7 seconds
400m Hurdles: 56.8 seconds
800m: 1minute 56.3 seconds (grass track, 1972 Police record, which still stands – the then-National record was 1minute 55.9 seconds)
I give you, John - in his wise words:
‘I started from very young to be humorous, forward thinking, and with a positive mental attitude. Most of my behaviours are the result of reading inspirational books, mixing around, observing and learning from positive people and avoiding negative people with attitude problems.
Whatever inspirational books you read the information would be recorded in your subconscious mind. When you need certain information, you will be surprised that you know them. After all, we receive information by sight and sound.
Always remain positive; avoid negative people; use positive words; be yourself; don't compare your achievement with others (you are what you are); and, compete with yourself to improve.’
