Maybe giving a book like this into my hand is dangerous. I live it more than other people I think, I am more than passionate when reading something like this and I am afraid it will kinda change me in not a good direction, but what it writes I think everyone agree with.
Know the book "The magic of thinking big"?
It is about how to get successful, how just belief moves mountains and a lot of very good real life stories about people who gained success and how they did it and a lot of advise.
And it will help all of you gain self confidence.
I can really recommend it to everyone!!
For example it says:
"Faith can move mountains. Believe, really believe, you can move a mountain and you can.
You can't _wish_ yourself into a position of leadership. But you can move a mountain with belief. You can win success by
believing you can succeed.
"I'm-positive-I-can" attitude, generates the power, skill, and energy needed to do. When you believe I-can-do-it, the
how-to-do-it develops.
Strong belief triggers the mind to figuring ways and means and how-to."
"It is well to respect the leader. Learn from him. Observe him.
Study him. But don't worship him. Believe you can surpass.
Believe you can go beyond. Those who harbor the second-best
attitude are invariably second-best doers."
"Look at it this way. Belief is the thermostat that regulates what we
accomplish in life. Study the fellow who is shuffling down there in
mediocrity. He believes he is worth little, so he receives little. He
believes he can't do big things, and he doesn't. He believes he is
unimportant, so everything he does has an unimportant mark. As
times goes by, lack of belief in himself shows through in the way
the fellow talks, walks, acts. Unless he readjusts his thermostat
forward, he shrinks, grows smaller and smaller in his own
estimation. And, since others see in us what we see in ourselves, he
grows smaller in the estimation of the people around him.
Now look across the way at the person who is advancing forward.
He believes he is worth much, and he receives much. He believes
he can handle big, difficult assignmentsᅤand he does. Everything
he does, the way he handles himself with people, his character, his
thoughts, his viewpoints, all say, "Here is a professional. He is an
important person."
A person is a product of his own thoughts. Believe Big. Adjust
your thermostat forward. "
The book sometimes uses harsh words, harsh examples, but they are definitely effective. As for me, it opened my eyes and made me want to work harder in what I believe and I dont care if people say its not good or it is impossible.
I read this book coz I need it for my class, but it is the first time I am glad I read a book.
