LEGENDE BH & EX-YU SPORTA, Part 16.

Za popularisanje teniskog sporta kod nas sigurno je zasluzan Slobodan Zivojinovic, koji je najveci uspjeh zabiljezio kad je dogurao do polufinala Wimbledona gdje je izgubio protiv Ivana Lendla, a u parovima je sa Andres Gomezom uspio osvojiti i US Open. Bruno Oresar i Monika Seles bili su jedini Yugo teniseri koji su osvojili Orange Bowl iliti nezvanicno prvenstvo svijeta u tenisu. Monika je, naravno, jedno vrijeme bila i prva na ATP listi, jedino nikada ne osvojivsi Wimbledone. Moze tome da se zahvali opsesivnom obozavaocu Steffi Graf koji ju je napao nozem u Hamburgu. Goran Ivanisevic je dogurao do drugog mjesta na ATP listi.

Danas teniseri Hrvatske i Srbije, kao sto su Mario Ancic, Novak Djokovic, Ana Ivanovic i Jelena Jankovic imaju respekt svjetske teniske poljane i cini se da je buducnost svijetla za ovaj sport sa balkanske tacke gledista...

FASCINATING PEOPLE, Part 16.

Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) founded Religious Science, part of the New Thought movement. Holmes had an immense influence on New Age beliefs, particularly his core philosophy that we create our own reality. He quit school at 15 saying: I didn't want to be taken care of, so l went to work. What I have gathered has been from reading, studying and thinking, working, experiencing. It is a long, laborious, tough method, but it pays off. I don't believe there is a real other method.
Excerpts from his work (The Science of Mind, Creative Mind and Creative Mind and Success):
*Strange as it may seem, the human thought can affirm only; it can never deny; for, even at the moment of denial, it really affirms the presence of that which it denies. We speak of denials and affirmations as though they were opposed to each other, but such is not the case. Fear and faith are but different ways of expressing positive beliefs about something. Fear is a positive belief that we will experience something that we do not wish to have happen, while faith is a positive belief that we will experience something that we do wish to have happen.
*What is evil?
Evil is the result of a lack of clear seeing, based upon a belief in two powers, and limitation and what we call sin is the result of man's struggle to find himself.
*The person who is to succeed will never let his mind dwell on past mistakes. He will forgive the past in his life and in the lives of other people. If he makes a mistake he will at once forgive it. He will know that so long as he desires any good, there is nowhere in the universe anything that opposes him. God does not damn anyone or anything; man damns everyone and everything.
*See only what you wish to experience, and look at nothing else. No matter how many times the old thought returns, destroy it by knowing that it has no power over you; look it squarely in the face and tell it to go; it does not belong to you, and you must know--and stick to it--that you are now free.
