One last story before I go. I had often heard of the Hypnosis Live Review   'sword of Damocles,' and I knew it meant an imminent threat, but I never knew the story until this past week. It seems that Damocles was loudly envious of King Dionysius of Syracuse. Tired of his envy, Dionysius seated Damocles in his own seat at a sumptuous banquet held in his honor. But Damocles was unable to enjoy his moment in the spotlight because Dionysius had suspended a sword over Damocles' seat, hanging by a mere thread. He learned the lesson from the King that wealth and power are precarious, and befrazzlement is often the price that has to be paid for success. That's a lesson that serve us all well to learn.

I was waiting for the great man to speak. He was supposed to be example of what young men who want to succeed can be. I was looking him over during his introduction. He was fashionably dressed from his suit and tie down to his shoes. It was while I was looking at his highly polished shoes I noticed the rather large hole in the sole of one of them.

I have no idea what he said during his presentation. I didn't take notes. I do remember that people seemed to enjoy it. All I thought about while he spoke and all I can remember today is the hole in his shoe.If he had been talking about the need for insurance, or relationships, the hole in the shoe wouldn't have bothered me. But, he was talking about success . . . and a hole in the shoe and success don't got hand in hand . . . or even foot in foot.Seeing a hole in the shoe on today's wellthought of individual speakers would be very, very rare, but a hole in the shoe doesn't really have to be literal. If can be figurative.

I know a particular congressman. If he were to talk about family values, I would remember hearing him as he spoke condescendingly to his wife over the phone one morning. That would be his "hole in the shoe." I know a businessman who speaks about treating his employees well and respecting their opinions. I know him well enough to know that if they said anything that differed from what he wanted to believe, they would no longer be employed by him. That character flaw is that businessman's hole in the shoe.
