Think BIG

First let me thank David J. Schwartz, Ph. D,
for writing long but chewable books like 'The Magic of Thinking Big'
It is a real soul-mate for people who stagger on and hold back due some influence,
be it an emotional like a break-up,
health issue like having going through diabetics
and even big but inevitable family issues.

During our blossoming childhood, we all were carefree
and really 'mind-free' from all those craps the world has to offer.
For instance ask a child what would he/she become.
The ultimate and instant answer would be some big time high profession
which we as elder people tend to be astonished of.
Not that we are disappointed of what our children dream.
But because we have been failures of doing the same or alike.
Because we used to have the same 'egos' when we were child.
Yet in the long run we failed.

No body dare to ask ourselves why we failed.
That is the think point I am trying to emphasize here.
Why did we fail.
Why cannot we pursue our long time dream.
Why cannot we become what we wanted to be.

The truth is always bitter, right?

Nevertheless, you would have to face it at one time.
At one time you would be buried in your own guilt.
Believe me ignorance is not a bliss.
You might as well face it now.

You failed because you FAILED to BELIEVE in yourself.
Think back and think hard.
Admit it, You held back.
You thought you cannot do it.
You thought you are too weak to do it.
You thought you lack the intelligence.
Dammit, you thought others are better.
and that is how and why you failed.

Now I know there is nothing that stands between me and my dream.
I becoming a great lawyer like Husnu Suood.
Like Mohamed Nasheed.
Like Dr. Munawwar or Dr. Hassan Saeed and alike.

According to him, they are not 'super-intelligent nor super-perspective
nor super-anything else except super-confident.'

I will quote him again,
'It is well to respect the leader.
Learn from him.
Observe him. Study him.
BUT DO NOT WORSHIP HIM'

Believe in yourself and you will have what you want.
That is the morale.

Sorry for the long post.
