A Japanese general decided to attack the enemy although he had only one-tenth the number of men the opposition commanded. He knew that he would win, but his soldiers were in doubt.
On the way he stopped at a Shinto shrine and told his men: "After I visit the shrine I will toss a coin. If heads comes, we will win; if tails, we will lose. Destiny holds us in her hand."
The general entered the shrine and offered a silent prayer. He came forth and tossed a coin. Heads appeared. His soldiers were so overjoyed and filled with confidence that they vigorously attached the enemy and were victorious.
"No one can change the hand of destiny," a lieutenant told the general after the battle.
"Indeed not," said the general, showing a coin which had heads on both sides.
Moral - If you believe in yourself, you can accomplish anything. There is nothing like the power of positive thinking.
Cheers!
