Think And Grow Rich Analysis

Improved Essays
Take time to think may not sound like what you need right now but sometimes, and I really should say that often times this is exactly what you need to do to get things going or to change the direction that your life or business has taken. In my life I have noticed that I will push hard and I will be persistent and yet it seemed like nothing was changing, in fact many times things actually got worse. I have also learned that if you do not take time to think, God or the universe will make you take time. For example, have you noticed that some people will get sick at the worst possible time like right before a deadline or in the middle of a crisis? Now, I also know that some of the times that sickness can be induced by stress but even then, …show more content…
One of my favorite books is Think and Grow Rich. I know that some people may have read the book but the key is to read the book and put what it says into action. Some people say they have read the book but then when I ask them, do they have a clear concise written statement of their dreams or goals that they read every morning and every night most will say no. The ones that say yes have it written but they do not read it every morning and every night and then if they do they do not do it with passion and …show more content…
However, most people will think about their goals and dreams in a positive manner and then something will happen and they will start doubting that their dreams and goals will happen; this of course will delay the manifestation. I like to think of it like giving someone driving directions to your house. If you gave some one driving directions to your house and then when they were half way there you call them and change directions, then call them 10 minutes later to give them different directions, then call them back to give them directions to some other place, the person would never make it to your house because you changed the directions and you did not stay clear and concise about where you wanted them to go. The same is true about your thoughts concerning your dreams and goals. You have to be clear and concise and only give positive

    If the goals that are set are vague in nature, motivation to achieve them will decrease. Your goals need to be realistic enough that achieving them is possible, but challenging enough so that they warrant a desirable amount of effort and motivation to achieve them. In other words, they should not be easy to achieve, but also not impossible. The ideal set of goals need to be “task oriented” in that they focus on performing many small, short term tasks in order to achieve a larger, long-term goal. There needs to be a larger amount of emphasis on achieving small victories instead of just striving towards one huge, multifaceted goal, as this will cause you to lose heart over time and come to believe that your ultimate goal is achievable.…

    People have dreams and because they think they can not do it, they do not make them come true. People can do everything they propose as a dream and goal, always with the consent that they can do it and that they will not surrender even if everyone is against it. If you give up because you think the dream or goal is not worth it, that is not a real dream, if that is the case you have to find what your real dream is because it is worth it, the struggle, and the…

    Raised From Scratch is such a meaningful book because the testimony of Thompson’s experiences offers two perspectives of hopelessness and hope in one. Yes, having been raised by his uncle and not his biological parents shaped him into the man he is today, but it did not make his transition as a foster youth any easier. Even though his invisible parents neglected him by prioritizing substances over providing Thompson with family and love, his uncle and mentors were able to provide him with a new understanding of those concepts. At the beginning of the book the author is pessimistic because of his foster youth identity, towards the end of his book the messages are uplifting and can help foster youth understand that it takes time and growth to…

    In his opinion essay “Invest in minds not maths”, Michael Brooks argues that investing in STEM is not a viable solution and that, instead, investment should go towards broadening students’ thinking abilities. Recently, due to the fact that STEM is linked to prosperity, governments started investing in STEM as an answer to a future STEM resources shortage. Hence, students now pursue STEM careers for job openings, not out of passion, which creates a massive unproductive STEM task force. To this issue, experts proposed shifting the focus from STEM to developing creativity and thinking skills. Additionally, employers also favour this proposal as they have realized that the skills that led to discoveries, such as Newton’s, are the same that…

    Let me start by offering a little prayer that I say a lot and has been very helpful to me. It is called the serenity prayer. I’m not here to discuss your religious beliefs, but it is a prayer that I use as a way of reminding myself I can’t control everything nor should I try. Trying to control people, places and things will probably only lead to frustration and unhappiness. Try saying it once with me, God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference.…
