The QUIZ
How to program your own mind and that of other people!
Your brain is an amazing thing! It loves to be told what to think. The advertising and marketing men have known this for years! Just 15 exposures to the same message, such as an advertising slogan will ensure that it is embedded in the average brain.
Everything we do and say is a result of what is going on in our heads right now and what has been pre-programmed either through life's experience or our genes. These thoughts happen at a conscious level as well as subconsciously. Even how we see the world is a result of how we are feeling and our pre-programming.
The good news is that you too can tell your brain to think!
Learning how to have healthy thoughts will enable you to see opportunities, remain focused and achieve your goals.
"I don't eat junk foods
and I don't think junk thoughts!
Let me tell you,
junk thoughts can destroy you even more quickly than junk food"

Question 4.
It's twenty years ago, and a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany (If you will recall, Germany at the time was olitically divided into West Germany and East Germany .) Anyway, during the flight, two engines fail. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he can do so and the plane fatally crashes smack in the middle of 'no man's land' between East Germany and West Germany . Where would you bury the survivors? East Germany, West Germany, or no man's land'?

Answer: You don't bury survivors
(This is known as the alternative close. We are pre-programmed to believe that in a multiple choice scenario at least one of the options given is correct)
