The Magic of Thinking Big

Finally, now showing on this blog - The Magic of Thinking Big by David Scwartz!
Guess nothing works better than subtle pressure to make me work my lazy brain and bod, zewt. Sure, I can always blame it on the deadlines at the office, the horribly hot weather caused by the drought that just sapped my energy away, the caffeine withdrawal symptom, the this and that. In any case, I'm half way thru reading this gem of a book, and boy, do I find some worthy insights to share with you. And, since old habits die hard, it's difficult to suppress the "stealth bomber", the "guerilla critic" in me from making the usual counter-arguments to the author's recommendations!
For starters or teasers, here are a couple of questions for you:
Would you Think Big if it makes you Feel Small?
Should Thinking Big necessarily translates into Big House, Big Car, Big Bank Balance, Big Partner?
There are no right or wrong answers; thinking about it, make it so. Tata for now!

NOT so soon now, haha! Slave to the system, what to do? If you have the time, why dont you share your book reviews and thots on self improvement? BTW, tried to post comments on your blog many times, but failed, wonder why.

guess u're right, bro! and i'll indulge the zewt, haha!

zewt said...

thinking big but feeling small? a bit chim... and certainly intriguing.

i guess thinking big is about achieving more than what you think you can do... not big house but a bigger house than the one you already live in.

what i meant to say: should the ends justify the means? would you stoop to conquer?
well, such are the paradoxes and contradictions in life; and i'm a chimp alright!
you're absolutely right, it's all about discarding the guilt and negativity about deserving nothing less than the BEST

Hahaha...'Big Partner'? That one got me laughing.

And 'Think Big' as a maxim belongs to Donald Trump! (Wonder if he's patented it or not.) Maybe flipping through one of his books can give you the answers you seek. Certainly helped me so far.

Since we're thinking BIG, we might as well go for the BIG Bro or Sista.
Will check out Trump's books to look for the MYR74 million dollar questions.
Thank u much!
