A man went to a diet center to lose weight. The director took him to a full length mirror. On it he outlined a figure and told him, “ This is what I want you to look like at the end of the program.”
Weeks of intense diet and exercise followed and every week the man would stand in front of the mirror, discouraged because his body didn’t fit the director’s ideal. But he kept at it and one day conformed to the goal the director has set at the beginning.
