The
Happy Hungarian Watchmaker – Part 6 “Your
Future’s In Your Hands” Copyright 2005 by Julian Kalmar. All rights reserved. (249 words) One day I asked
the master why his workshop always felt so peaceful. This is what he taught
me. “Julian, just
like these watches and clocks, with all their gears, jewels, springs and screws
that can’t be seen from the outside, people have hidden mechanisms.” “What kind of
mechanisms,” I questioned eagerly. “There are many.
One of them is responsible for the peace in this workshop. Do you know why
I’ve asked you to be quiet while I work?” “So you can
concentrate,” I said a bit unsure. “Yes, but
there’s much more to it. By focusing your mind and hands on the same task,
peacefulness and joy are naturally produced. I create a tangible sense of
peace and joy in this workshop using this natural hidden mechanism. Everyone
can do this. “Working with
your hands also builds confidence in your personal abilities. You feel
powerful knowing you know how to transform your world. For example, when I’m
faced with a broken watch, I don’t know what I’ll find on the inside. That’s
a lot like life. You’ll face a problem and not know how to fix it at first,
so you’ll feel a bit nervous. Every time you solve a problem you’ll build
confidence. “Eventually you
feel you can solve any problem and create anything you want in your life.
That’s when life becomes easy. You simply decide what you want and focus your
mind and hands to create it. Your future is quite literally in your hands. Biographical Information
