The prize was £25,000. ‘Yes’ had
suddenly made Danny a wealthier
man. If he’d said ‘no’ to his friend,
he’d have stayed at home. If he’d
stayed in, he wouldn’t have met the
beggar, and if he’d said ‘no’ to the
beggar, he wouldn’t have bought
the newspaper or done the scratch ch
card. And if he hadn’t done the scratch
card, he wouldn’t have won the prize.
His optimism and generosity had made
a difference. Unfortunately, he lost the
£25,000 five minutes later, but that’s another story.
It was the beginning of Danny’s adventures. In the next six
months, he continued to say ‘yes’ and his life got better
and more exciting. As a result, he became a politician
and an inventor, met Buddhist monks, travelled to some
unusual places, got into some embarrassing situations
and met the woman of his dreams! Would he have done
these things if he’d stayed on his sofa? So remember …
if life is getting dull, just say the magic word.
