A man under the influence of alcohol sees the world differently from the rest of us. He sees possibilities that he never imagined which we cannot see. What an unusual ability to be able to see the world differently?
But wait a minute! Do you actually think I would want to promote being drunk? No way! Besides, all you get from alcohol is a bad headache and a very unfocused day.
However, there are some things that are good for us. I mean there are some influences that are great for us and I have seen men do great things under some strange influences.
Before you think of anything negative or plan to close this page, lets take a look at each of them. Here are some influences that you need to be under:

Perseverance
You never take “No” for an answer when you are under this influence. No difficulty or situation can make you shift ground.
