| The first excerpt represents the past or something you must release, and is drawn from War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy: "You're making some mistake. I never ordered them to go away,"
said Princess Mary. "Call Dronushka."
Dron came and confirmed Dunyasha's words; the peasants had come by
the princess' order.
"But I never sent for them," declared the princess. "You must have
given my message wrong. I only said that you were to give them the
grain."
Dron only sighed in reply.
"If you order it they will go away," said he.
"No, no. I'll go out to them," said Princess Mary, and in spite of

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Heroes by Charles Kingsley: maidens to the south; but if not, we will put out your eyes,

Then Phineus swore an oath to them, and drove out the wicked
woman; and Jason took those two poor children, and cured
their eyes with magic herbs.
But Zetes and Calais rose up sadly and said, 'Farewell now,

and our day is come at last, in which we must hunt the
whirlwinds over land and sea for ever; and if we catch them
they die, and if not, we die ourselves.'

The third excerpt represents the future or something you must embrace, and is drawn from Life on the Mississippi by Mark Twain: If you were walking and talking with a friend, and another friend
at your side kept up a monotonous repetition of the vowel sound A,
for a couple of blocks, and then in the midst interjected an R,
thus, A, A, A, A, A, R, A, A, A, etc., and gave the R no emphasis,
you would not be able to state, two or three weeks afterward,
that the R had been put in, nor be able to tell what objects you
were passing at the moment it was done. But you could if your
memory had been patiently and laboriously trained to do that sort
of thing mechanically.
Give a man a tolerably fair memory to start with, and piloting
will develop it into a very colossus of capability.
