Худини бил ненадминат маг, а също и легендарен ключар. Твърдял, че може да избяга от килията на който и да е затвор в света за по-малко от час, стига да влезе в нея с дрехите, в които обикновено е облечен. Един малък град на Британските острови построил нов затвор, с който неимоверно се гордеел. Жителите му отправили предизвикателство към Худини. "Хайде да опитаме" - казали те. Худини приел.
Затворили го в една килия и той се заловил за работа. В колана му имало скрито гъвкаво, твърдо и издържливо 30 сантиметрово парче стомана, с което отключвал катинарите. След 30 минути от самочувствието му не останала и следа. След един час целият плувал в пот. Два часа по-късно Худини буквално припаднал пред вратата - която се отворила.

- What is the Personal Legend?
- It is your blessing, the
path God has chosen for you here on Earth. Whenever a man does that
which gives him enthusiasm, he is following his Legend. However, not
everyone has the courage to face up to his own dreams.
- Why is that?
- There are four obstacles. The first: he has heard, right from
childhood, that everything he wishes to live is impossible. He grows up
with this idea, and as he acquires age, he also accumulates layers of
prejudices, fears, guilt. There comes a time when his Personal Legend
is so deeply buried within his soul, he can no longer see it. But it is
still there.
"If he has the courage to unearth his dreams, he
then faces a second obstacle: love. He now knows what he desires to do,
but he thinks he will harm those around him, if he gives everything up
to follow his dreams. He does not understand that love is an additional
impulse, not something which hinders one from going forward. He does
not understand that those who truly wish him well are longing for his
happiness, and are ready to accompany him on this adventure.

A carrot, an egg, and a cup of coffee...You will never look at a cup of
coffee
the same way again.
A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how
things
were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and
wanted
to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one
problem
was solved, a new one arose.
Her mother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water
and placed
each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to boil. In the first she
placed
carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed
ground
coffee beans. She let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
