4. WHAT
IS
NATURAL
LAW
....??
Natural laws are the fundamental
patterns of nature and life that
human experience and testing have
shown to be valid. They describe
things really as they are, as
opposed to how we think or wish
they were
For Example:
If we try to build a plane, without
understanding the Laws of
Aerodynamics, the plane may not fly.
Similarly, Its not possible to walk on
air or on water because it is against
the law of nature

6. MANAGING YOUR TIME
 “Someday, when I get time, I am going to…..”.
 How many times have you said those words??
 The desire to get organized, to get the events in our
lives under out of control, to find time to do things
we really want to, is felt by most of us at one time or
another. That’s why Time Management is the most
commonly taught skill in corporate training
