Trick or Treat for UNICEF – Part 1

unicefboxIt’s Saturday, October 24, 2009 and I’m creating a new PowerPoint and assignments for Breakthrough! – How To Breakthrough “The Plateauing Out Syndrome”!

I’ve really got my hands full this week with creating a second PowerPoint, the second entitled There Is Nothing New! – How To Use Old Ideas In “The New Normal”.

On top of that I have to prepare the marketing material for The Clear Your Roadblocks One Day Workshop and The Clear Your Roadblocks Coaching GYM Program and make modifications for the Private Web Site that we are building … and have it done by Friday, October 30, 2009.

All this is in advance of four speaking presentations next week in Windsor, Toronto and Kelowna.

So what I am going to do for my Blogs this week is share my personal experience of having taken myself through the assignments for Breakthrough! – How To Breakthrough “The Plateauing Out Syndrome”! What is that expression, don’t ask anyone to do anything that you are not willing to do yourself.

Assignments for Breakthrough! – How To Breakthrough “The Plateauing Out Syndrome”!

Action Step 1 – Write a Story, with as much detail as you can about when you were challenged and about how you did whatever it took to succeed.

When I was 10 years old I went to St. Mary’s Catholic School where I was taught by nuns and regular teachers.

In advance of Halloween, the school gave out Trick or Treat for UNICEF collection boxes with the idea that children could collect both their candies and money for UNICEF.

As I reflect back on my 10 year old mind, I had caring and empathy for others that were less fortunate than I and I wanted to help.

I told my friends Heinz and Werner about the Trick or Treat for UNICEF collection boxes and we thought that the UNICEF collection might interfere with the full pillow case haul of candy that we had planned to from Trick or Treating from 5:30pm – 10:00pm at night.

What to do?

Halloween was on a Wednesday that year so we collected for UNICEF on the Saturday afternoon before.

I walked down the middle of the street and Heinz and Werner did the door knocking on the left and right of the street and brought the money and put it in the box and I would have to run up to the door the odd time to validate our collection by showing the Trick or Treat for UNICEF collection box. There was the odd old geezer that wanted a Trick so I did the singing;

Halloween, Halloween

Witches, bats

Old black cats

Strangest night of all the year

That is the best I can do, I can’t remember the password to my e-mail let alone a Halloween song.
