you will see your image materialize。 But again; as long as you 
continue to let your present or past results control your 
thinking process; you will never live to see your dreams e 
true。 

Therefore; look up; look ahead and form the image of the 
life you choose to live; then everything you touch or e in 
contact with will grow and expand and express itself in a 
greater and greater way。 

Individuals who are thinking in reverse; very rarely; if 
ever; originate ideas which lead them to providing meaningful 
service to others。 The reason for this is that they are only able 
to see what someone else has already done。 As a result of their 
limited mindset; the rewards which they will ultimately 
receive in life are destined to be equally limited。 

The 333 Story 

I was doing a seminar; which ran from Thursday night to 
Sunday; at the Deerhurst Lodge; which is a resort 
approximately 100 miles north of Toronto。 On the Friday 
night; a tornado swept through Barrie; Ontario; a town about 
40 miles south of Deerhurst。 The tornado killed a dozen people 
and did millions of dollars worth of damage。 On the Sunday 
night; as I was ing home; I stopped the car when I got to 
Barrie。 I got out on the side of the highway and looked around。 
It was a mess。 Everywhere I looked; there were smashed 
houses and cars turned upside down。 


That same night; another gentleman; Bob Templeton; 
was driving down the same highway。 He and I had never met; 
however; an idea from my seminar was about to bring us 
together in a lasting friendship。 He stopped to look at the 
disaster; just as I had; only his thoughts were different than 
my own。 Bob was the VicePresident of Telemedia 
munications; a pany which owns a string of radio 
stations in Ontario and Quebec。 As he stood there viewing the 
disaster; he thought there must be something he could do for 
these people (with the radio stations he had)。 That thought 
kept returning to his mind that night and all the next day。 

The following night; I was doing another seminar in 
Toronto。 Bob Templeton and Bob Johnson; another vice
president from Telemedia; came in and stood at the back of 
the room。 They were evaluating my seminar; trying to decide if 
I could help their pany reach its goals; which I ultimately 
did。 Because of Bob Templeton's influence; I subsequently 
worked for the entire Canadian broadcasting industry。 He 
loved what I was doing in my seminars because it was in 
harmony with his way of thinking。 Bob Templeton became 
fascinated with the laws of the universe; particularly The Law 
of Polarity or as it is often referred to; The Law of Opposites。 
This law clearly states everything has an opposite。 You cannot 
have an up without a down; hot without cold or in without 
out。 By the same token; if you can figure out why something 
you want to do cannot be done; by law; you must be able to 
figure out how it can be done。 People who acplish great 
things are aware of the negative; however; they give all of their 
mental energy to the positive。 After the seminar; Bob 
Templeton went back to his office。 He told me it was late but 
this one idea he picked up had him excited。 It also had him 
mitted to the idea of raising millions of dollars and giving 
it to the people who had been caught in the tornado; and he 
was going to raise the money immediately! Futhermore; he was 
not remotely interested in why he couldn't。 

The following Friday he called all of his executives at 
Telemedia into his office。 At the top of a flip chart in bold 


letters; he wrote three 3's。 He said to his executives 〃How 
would you like to raise 3 million dollars; 3 days from now; in 
just 3 hours and give the money to the people in Barrie?〃 
There was nothing but silence in the room。 

Finally someone said; 〃Templeton; you're crazy。 There is 
absolutely no way we could raise 3 million dollars; in 3 hours; 
3 days from now!〃 

Bob said; 〃Wait a minute。 I didn't ask you if we could or 
even if we should。 I just asked you if you would like to。〃 Bob 
Templeton was wise; he was appealing to the charitable side of 
their nature。 It was important for those present to openly 
admit that this was something they wanted to do。 Bob 
Templeton knew that his new idea could show anyone how to 
acplish anything they wanted by working with the law。 

They all said; 〃Sure; we'd like to。〃 He then drew a large T 
underneath the 333。 On one side he wrote; 'Why We Can't。' On 
the other side he wrote; 'How We Can。' Under the words; 'Why 
We Can't;' Bob Templeton drew a large X。 As he placed the X 
on the flip chart; he said; 〃Now there is no place to record the 
ideas we think of which explain why we can't raise 3 million 
dollars; in 3 hours; 3 days from now; regardless of how valid 
they might be。〃 He continued by explaining; 〃When anyone 
calls out an idea which suggests why we can't; everyone else 
must yell out as loud as they can; NEXT。 That will be our 
mand to go to the next idea。 Ideas are like the cars on a 
train; one always follows the other。 We will keep saying Next 
until a positive idea arrives。〃 

Bob smiled and continued to explain that; 〃Opposite the 
X on the other side of the flipchart; directly under the words; 
'How We Can;' I will write down every idea that we can e 
up with on how we can raise 3 million dollars; in 3 hours; 3 
days from now。〃 He also suggested in a very serious tone of 
voice; that everyone will remain in the room until we figure it 
out。 〃We are not only going to think of how we can raise 3 
million dollars immediately; after we originate the ideas we are 
going to execute them!〃 There was silence again。 


Finally; someone said; 〃We could do a radio show across 
Canada。〃 

Bob said; 〃That's a great idea;〃 and wrote it down under; 
'How We Can。' 

Before he had it written on the right hand side of the 
flipchart; someone said; 〃You can't do a radio show across 
Canada。 We don't have radio stations across Canada!〃 Since 
Telemedia only had stations in Ontario and Quebec; you must 
admit that was a pretty valid objection。 However; someone in 
the back of the room; in a rather soft tone said; 〃Next。〃 

Bob Templeton replied; 〃Doing a radio show is how we 
can。 That idea stays。〃 But this truly did sound like a 
ridiculous idea; because radio stations are very petitive。 
They usually don't work together and to get them to do so 
would be virtually impossible according to the standard way of 
thinking。 

All of a sudden someone suggested; 〃You could get 
Harvey Kirk and Lloyd Robertson; the biggest names in 
Canadian broadcasting; to anchor the show。〃 These gentlemen 
are anchors of national stature in the Canadian television 
industry。 Someone clearly spoke out saying; 〃They're not going 
to go on radio。〃 But; at that point the group yelled; 〃NEXT。〃 
Bob said; that was when the energy shifted; everyone got 
involved and it was absolutely amazing how fast and furious 
the creative ideas began to flow。 

That was on a Friday。 The following Tuesday they had a 
radiothon; where 50 radio stations; from all across the 
country; agreed to work in harmony for such a good cause。 
They felt it didn't matter who got the credit; as long as the 
people in Barrie got the money。 Harvey Kirk and Lloyd 
Robertson anchored the show and they succeeded in raising 3 
million dollars; in 3 hours; within 3 business days! 


You see; you can have whatever you want; all things are 
possible when you put your focus on how you can and 〃Next〃 
every idea telling you why you can't。 

This may be a difficult exercise in the beginning; 
however; when you persist 〃Nexting〃 any and all negative 
concepts; the flow of positive ideas will roar into your 
marvelous mind。 

Alfred Adler; the renowned psychologist; coined the 
extraordinary phrase 〃I am grateful to the idea that has used 
me。〃 There can be no doubt that creative; forwardthinking 
ideas literally breathe new life into every fibre of your being。 
They awaken a part of you that you never even knew was 
sleeping。 

Bob Templeton never received five cents for the 
leadership role he played; in marshalling 50 radio st
