Success nuggets

Hello world,


Here are some more points from The Magic of Thinking Big . . .

  • Be environment-conscious. Just as body diet makes the body, mind diet makes the mind.
  • Make your environment work for you, not against you. Don't let suppressive forces - the negative, you-can't-do-it-people - make you think defeat.
  • Don't let small-thinking people hold you back. Jealous people want to see you stumble. Don't give them that satisfaction.
  • Get your advice from successful people. Your future is important. Never risk it with free-lance advisors who are living failures.
  • Get plenty of psychological sunshine. Circulate in new groups. Discover new and stimulating things to do.
  • Throw thought-poison out of your environment. Avoid gossip. Talk about people but stay on the positive side.
  • Go first class in everything you do. You can't afford to go any other way.
  • Grow the "I'm activated" attitude. Results come in proportion to enthusiasm invested. Three things to do to activate yourself are:
  1. Dig into it deeper. When you find yourself disinterested in something, dig in and learn more about it. This sets off enthusiasm.
  2. Life up everything about you: your smile, your handshake, your talk, even your walk. Act alive.
  3. Broadcast good news. No one ever accomplished anything positive telling bad news.
  • Grow the "You are important" attitude. People do more for you when you make them feel important. Remember to do these things:
  1. Show appreciation at every opportunity. Make people feel important.
  2. Call people by name.
  • Grow the "Service first" attitude, and watch money take care of itself. Make it a rule in everything you do, give people more than they expect to get.

If you want to me to go into more detail about it, well you'll have to buy the book for yourself. If you apply the principles, it's life changing. All you have to do is read it for about 15 min a day and it will do wonders. My race of people could really use help from reading these types of books. They stick all this knowledge in books and we don't like to read . . . shame . . .


Goodbye world
