The magic of thinking big

A wise man will be Master of his mindA Fool will be Its Slave

Publius Syrius

LESSON 1: BELIEVE YOU CAN SUCCEED AND YOU WILL

Success is determined by the size of one’s thinking: people who think big grow big.

Strong belief triggers the mind to figuring ways and means to achieve it.

A person is a product of his own thoughts.

Think success, don’t think failure Believe you can succeed and you will Remind yourself regularly that you are better than

you think you are Believe big: The size of your success is determined

by the size of your belief Never sell yourself short

LESSON 2 : CURE YOURSELF OF EXCUSES: THE FAILURE DISEASE

The thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you may have.

Never underestimate your own intelligence and overestimate the intelligence of others.

to put only positive thoughts in your memory.

LESSON 4 : THINK BIG

Probably the greatest human weakness is self-deprecation- that is, selling oneself short.

Look at things not as they are, but as they can be. Visualization adds value to everything.

We don’t think in words or phrases, but in pictures and images.

Imagine yourself big.

Take distance of problems, difficulties, quarrels… and ask yourself, is this bringing me closer to my objective? is this really important?

Use the big thinker’s vocabulary: words that create pleasant images such as victory, joy, happiness…

Practice being a big thinker

LESSON 5 : THINK AND DREAM CREATIVELY

Progress is our most important product: is not so much what you know when you start, is what you learn and to use after what counts the most!

Big people monopolize the listening; small people monopolize the talking.

Top success is deserved to the: “I can do it better” kind of person.a

Be progressive in everything you do.

Ask yourself daily: “How can I do better?”

Believe firmly it can be done

LESSON 6 : YOU ARE WHAT YOU THINK YOU ARE

Give yourself a pep talk several times daily

Create a self-praise Mantra for yourself

Think enthusiasm and you will be enthusiastic

LESSON 7 : MANAGE YOUR ENVIRONMENT: GO FIRST CLASS

To recondition yourself for success is the first step to take.

Being environment-conscious is key: just as a body diet makes the body, mind diet makes the mind.

LESSON 11 : TURN DEFEAT INTO VICTORY

The difference between success and failure is found in one’s attitudes toward setbacks, handicaps, discouragements, and other disappointing situations.

Expect future obstacles and difficulties and solve them as they arise

Study setbacks to pave your way to success Analyze weaknesses and failures and correct

them. Stop blaming luck Remember, there is a good side in every

situation: find it. GET IN GEAR AND GO!

LESSON 12 : USE GOALS TO HELP YOU GROW

The important thing is not where you are or where, but where you want to go.

We must plan to accomplish something.

Get a clear fix on where you want to go

Achieve your goal one step at a time. Regard each task you perform as a step toward your goal.

Invest in yourself: education, mental power, ideas boosters…

Set goals to get things done.

LESSON 13 : THINK AS A LEADER

Give other people the kind of treatment you would like to receive and you will be rewarded.

Take time to confer with yourself

Seek improvement & excellence in everything you do

afraid of him?

When an Argument or Quarrel Seems Inevitable

Think BIG Enough to see that quarrels, arguments, & fusses will never help you get where you want to go!

Successfully resist the temptation to argue and quarrel by

 "Honestly now, is this thing really

important enough to argue about?

You never gain anything from an argument but you

always lose something

When You Feel Defeated

It is not possible to achieve large success without hardships and setbacks.

But it is possible to live the rest of your life without defeat

BIG thinkers react to setbacks this way
