The Magic Of Thinking Big David Schwartz Pdf 24
Yair Nixon
If Mr. Triumph takes the floor, he switches the thought production completely. Now, every goal you set starts with the immediate assumption that it IS possible. Mr. Triumph already knows he will win, his job is simply to lay out the steps required to get to that goal, and to keep you excited about cranking through these steps.
Next is the chapter about Excusitis, the Failure Disease. The good Doctor describes a series of real-world people he has interviewed, some who suffer from this disease, who immediately start listing excuses in the face of any challenge.
Then he contrasts these folks to a series of Big Thinkers, who never make excuses and accept challenges with curious enthusiasm. As it turns out, the Big Thinkers are always the successful ones with plenty of money and happy, balanced lives, and the Excusitis sufferers are always burdened with big and compounding problems.
You will find the contrast in your own friends amazing, as you are encouraged to use your real life as a laboratory, doing little thought and observation experiments on yourself and studying the behavior of actual successful and unsuccessful people you know. The observations of the book are all spot-on when applied to real people, even from our current vantage point sixty years in the future.
As the book goes on, it gets into deeply practical strategies to be an actual big thinker yourself. Things like monopolizing the listening, rather than the speaking, in every conversation. And when meeting with a more senior executive in your own company, realizing that you are not a subordinate and a boss, but two equally important people sitting down together to solve an important problem. Curing Fear with Action. Absolutely golden stuff, every page of it.
When I re-read this book in modern times (which I still do about once a year), I realize that Mr. Money Mustache has in fact become exactly like David J. Schwartz. We both start each of our golden lessons with an amusing and/or illuminating anecdote. We both write in short and punchy sentences. And we both believe that the modern world is an absolutely excellent place, a dense and flowery jungle completely packed with Mangoes of Opportunity that spray their juices in our faces every time we take another muscular step through the foliage.
Also either way, $167k will soon seem like a small amount of money to you, so get the house paid off, save up a bunch more money, and move on with your investing life. The housing market will recover over time as the economy and population continues to grow. Good luck!
I definitely think that thinking small or in a defeatist way is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Not that thinking big will solve all your problems and magically make your goals come true, but at least then you have a fighting chance of accomplishing something big.
I listened to the audiobook version of this particular gem while working in the porn filtering business. It was very good, and I have added it to my books-to-re-read list in my expensive pocket computer device.
