THE MIND

The mind is an asset that needs to be well stimulated  by thinking and imagination.
Somewhere  in your make-up(perhaps in the cells of your brain)lies sleeping the seed of  achievement.If aroused and put into action,this will carry you to heights you may never have hoped to attain.
Just as a master musician may cause the most beautiful strains of music to pour forth from a string of a violin ,so may arouse the genius which lies asleep in your brain,and and cause it to drive you upward to whatever good you may wish to achieve.
One of the main weaknesses of mankind is the average person`s familiarity with  the word impossible.Remember success comes to those who are success conscious and failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.
TAKE THESE INTO CONSIDERATION AS YOU MOVE ON IN LIFE.
  • “Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success”
  • “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed on an equal or greater benefit.”
  • “Self-discipline begins with the mastery of your thoughts. If you don’t control what you think, you can’t control what you do. Simply, self-discipline enables you to think first and act afterward.”
  • “The world has the habit of making room for the man whose actions show that he knows where he is going.”
  • “Great achievement is usually born of great sacrifice, and is never the result of selfishness.”
  • “Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.”
  • “Strength and growth come only through continuous effort and struggle…”
  • “The majority of men meet with failure because of their lack of persistence in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.”
  • “The starting point of all achievement is desire.”
  • “The ladder of success is never crowded at the top.”
  • “Education comes from within; you get it by struggle and effort and thought.”
  • “Our minds become magnetized with the dominating thoughts we hold in our minds and these magnets attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.”
  • “Fears are nothing more than a state of mind”
  • “Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunning. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach”

  • If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.”
  •   “Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. More than five hundred of the most successful men this country has ever known told the author their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them.” 
  •   “When your desires are strong enough, you will appear to possess superhuman powers to achieve
  •  “The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.”
  •   “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
  •   “You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.”
  •   “If you can't do great things, do small things in a great way.”
  •   “When defeat comes, accept it as a signal that your plans are not sound, rebuild those plans, and set sail once more toward your coveted goal.”
  •  “The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.”
  •   “To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country – your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.”
  •   “We refuse t“Put your foot upon the neck of the fear of criticism by reaching a decision not to worry about what other people think, do, or say.” o believe that which we don't understand.”

  •   “There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is
    ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief.” 
 After reading,contemplate on the quotes and learn some vital things from it.I am very sure you will have a change of mind on some issues.

THE POWER OF THE MIND

THINK AND GROW RICH
Do you think becoming a rich or wealthy person is all about school?Have you notice the number of  people who are  rich in your community who were school dropouts?Examples of some billionaires who drop out of school are: Sheldon Adelson,Michael Dell,Bill Gate,Richard Branson and Steve Ballmer.
Becoming rich is all about the mind.The almighty God has given us two big assets.These are the MIND  and TIME.We all have the mind and also equal number of hours in a day.i.e 24 hours.It depends on how you make good use of them that will make us rich.

“If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t
If you like to win, but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
“If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will-
It’s all in the state of mind.
“If you think you are outclassed, you are,
You’ve got to think high to rise,
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
“Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN.
As you are on the path of becoming rich by reading this,know that everything here must be practical.Without practicals,you can not succeed.
 TAKE NOTICE OF THESE
  • Never say "i can not afford it" but rather "how can i afford it." because immediately you say "i can no afford it",your brain shuts and stops working but  immediately you say "how can i afford it"your brain is stimulated to do something.You can do everything if you want to do it.With desire,definite major purpose,belief,faith and persistence you can do everything.
  • Mind your own business.If you want to be rich you have to mind your own business.I will throw more light on this particular point in subsequent post.
  • Lean to manage risk.
  • Be truthful about your emotions and let your emotions work  in your  favor  not against yourself.
  • Learn to have money work for you.
  • Know the difference between asset and liability and buy asset if you want be rich.Asset is something that brings money into your pocket and  Liability is something that takes money from you.This is the basic definition for an asset and a liability.
