Assessment by Silvio Cesar Moraes Brandespim... As A Man Thinketh Part 1 - Content Review: For me the first thing I thought important in the book happens when the author tell us that the man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts. The author here use as an example the blossom of the plants and fruits to show us how we human being suffering to reach our total control of our thoughts. The man is made or unmade by himself, its means for me that we are the only creature able to control our life. We can build for our selves heavenly mansions of joy and peace, or we can create hundred infernal jailhouses full of panic, pain and worries. We can build armors to avoid bad thoughts or forge weapons to destroy our selves, “spirituals daggers”. When man gets the knowledge of himself he conquers the knowledge about his fears and worries, so he can control them all, make them disappears from his life any time he wants. But for only by patience, practice and ceaseless importunity, can man enter the door of the temple of knowledge. When the author told us about the effect thought on circumstances, here he uses the cultivation of a garden to exemplify how man must take care of the control of his thoughts. How cultivate good thoughts and how to get rid of bad ones. Every man is where he is by the law of his being; all is the result of his own way to think. But man need believes him self, must take his time to practice self-control and self-purification, so then he will be come master of his own life and thoughts. When earnestly applies him self to remedy the defects in his character, and makes progress, he passes through a succession of vicissitudes. As the reaper of his won harvest, man learns both of suffering and bliss. Man fall suddenly into crime by stress of any mere external force; the criminal thought had long been secretly fostered in the heart, and the hour of opportunity revealed its gathered power. As the lord and master of his thoughts, man can avoid all this inclination to evil, and be free of them any time he wants. Man does not attract that which they want, but that which they are. Their whims, fancies and ambitions are thwarted at every step, but their inmost thoughts and desires are fed with their own food, be it foul or clean; not what he wished and prays for does a man get, but what he justly earns. Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling to improve themselves; they therefore remain bound. The circumstances which a man encounters with suffering are the result of his own mental inharmony. The circumstances which a man encounters with blessedness are the result of his own mental harmony. I really agree with the author when he listed all the important things that happen when we got all the control of our thoughts:
It's really make me figure out how important is my toughs and good vibrations to carrion with my life and hope in this poor world. When the author said that there can be no progress nor achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be by the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, I could see that he means about our animal side, and our proud to be rational but we're not perfect and we just can reach our success and control with hardly sacrifices and our mistakes in our lives. And at least the author shows me the real importance when he said that the dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible one, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers. And the humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die; it lives in them; it knows them as the realities which it shall one day see and know. Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, actor, prophet, these are the makers of the after-world, the architects of heaven. The world is beautiful because they have lived. Without them, laboring humanity would perish. Like Columbus who cherished a vision of another world and he discovered it, Copernicus fostered the vision of a multiplicity of worlds and wider universe, and revealed it, and at least Buddha beheld the vision of a spiritual world of stainless beauty and perfect peace, and he entered into it. Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream so shall you become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil. Serenity and calmness of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of wisdom. It is the result of long and patient effort in self-control. Its presence is an indication of ripened experience, and of a more than ordinary knowledge of the laws and operations of thought. Part 2 - Personal Impact: This book touched me real deepest this time. I figured out how important not only for me but for all human being, the control of our thoughts. We have to take care so much of our thoughts like when we care about our precious garden we have to do the same with our way to think. Every time we have to be our master of our thoughts take the control of all situation, but reach this stage on our lives isn't easy, we have to fight against all the fears and worries and negatives things that life bring to us all the time. We have to practice more and more day by day, the exercise of keep the control of our thoughts. Only by hard and true work we will reach this stage in our lives. I'm always try fight against my own demons and worries and everything that makes me in panic. With this book I learned how to control my emotions so much better nowadays. I used to have so many problems with relationship with friends, family etc. This book helped me to understand them much more and figured out how to have a good relation with them. This book helped me understand them and be prepared for all attack made by them, if I were prepared for it I'd could take all the control of any kind of unexpected situation. Like one day during my volleyball match, I was ready to attack another mate when suddenly I realized that I'll commit a terrible mistake. Then in a blink of an eye I turn around the whole situation just because I was able to understand the guy who I was ready to fight. With this book I felt so much more selfconfidence to face the most problematic family member of mine, my brother. And I did, with smart and psychology attention. Just ignoring his attack and offences I won this battle. And I really believe that this book and so much more others will help me in the future so much more than now. As the lord and master of our thoughts, we can avoid all this inclination to evil, and be free of them any time we want. So in the end we have to control our own thoughts and be the master of our destiny and fate. But we will reach it only by hard work and belief in ourselves. Part 3 - Summary: We have to have our own control of our thoughts, because we are really searching for our internal evolution in the end of our existence. This book touched me real deepest this time. I figured out how important not only for me but for all human being, the control of our thoughts. We have to take care so much of our thoughts like when we care about our garden we have to do the same with our way to think. Every time we have to be our master of our thoughts take the control of all situation, but reach this stage on our lives isn't easy, we have to fight against all the fears and worries and negatives things that life bring to us all the time. We have to practice more and more day by day, the exercise of stay and keep the control of our thoughts. Only by hard and true work we will reach this stage in our lives. When spirit rises and commands …the gods are ready to obey. It's really got me, the idea of be my own God and let the deities in peace, yes we are human, rational and we have the power of our own decisions so why I have to put my life in the hands of Popes, priest, preachers whatever, or other types of fanatics brainwashers, no, I just want to live my own life and commit my own sins and just blame myself about it. And the author shows me the real importance when he said that the dreamers are the saviors of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible one, so men, through all their trials and sins and. And the humanity cannot forget its dreamers; it cannot let their ideals fade and die. Composer, sculptor, painter, poet, actor, prophet, these are the makers of our world made by dreams that was created by all them, the architects of heaven. The world is beautiful because they have lived. Without them, laboring humanity would perish and the world will be so boring. When man gets the knowledge of himself he conquers the knowledge about his fears and worries, so he can control them all, make them disappears from his life any time he wants. But for only by patience, practice and ceaseless importunity, can man enter the door of the temple of his own wisdom. Every man is where he is by the law of his being; all is the result of his own way to think. But man need believes him self, must take his time to practice self-control and self-purification, so then he will be come master of his own life and thoughts. When earnestly applies ourselves to remedy the defects in our character, and makes progress, we pass through a succession of vicissitudes. As the reaper of our own harvest, man learns both of suffering and bliss. Man fall suddenly into crime by stress of any mere external force; the criminal thought had long been secretly fostered in the heart, and the hour of opportunity revealed its gathered power. As an ordinary human I'm looking for this control and try to figure out every single day about how to control and be the master of my own thoughts and life and have the power to do it it's not simple and you can't find it any time you want. Like the author said you have to practice and use any weapons you can to became the master of your life. For me the most tuff thing that you have to face when you start this journey is, fight against your fears, fight against the negatives persons and forces, and in the end fight against everything that you learned during all your life, about sins, fears, worries, faith and so on. In the end you have to be against the society make your own path and choices, became a lonely soldier and face this inner war by your self. But in the end the prize for it it's the most valuable for all our eternity. Have the power to control our fears and worries, be your own master of your decisions and never fear your acts it's the most wonderful treasure the God gave us…Free will. Jonathan Livingston Seagull The New Dynamics Of Winning Giants Steps 1. Discuss the main ideas that you found most important in this book and discuss why they were important to you. Dreams Of Destiny But let's think dreams are invisible untouchable but the Giant Steps books show me that, when we turn these dreams into manifestation of our wishes it becomes reality
and changes so deepest our destiny. Dreams make us survive in this sadness world, no matter poor or rich your must have dreams, if you don't have them, you can consider a
half dead person. Like the author said the only way to achieve your dreams is to extent your ability to define with precision exactly what do you desire what you really
searching for. “The secret of unleashing your true power is setting goals that are exciting enough that they truly inspire your creativity and ignite your passion”. For example turn your big goals in pieces little ones, than little by little and day by day try to reach one by one of course it will be a challenger but life is that. You must face every day something that can make you tremble and in the same time after you conquest this fear you will reach the victory of see your dreams become true in front of you. So to reach this I learn from this book do this: The Power To Create - The Power To Destroy Magic, no just the power to “Destroy' your self, so I figured out if I have the power to destroy and make damages with my self what could be happen if I use all this power against some one?!? At the same time I prove to my self the power to create something that never exists inside of me. If I did that, maybe I can have the power to move a mountain or even to fly?!? Crazy, no this power has so many names in Occidental culture like: Faith or wish. But in the Oriental World they call that the power of the man that can be your own God. The power that you have inside yourself and this can make your be more than a ordinary human. It's could be real dangerous in wrong hands or with person with wrong minds and for sure wrong and bad thoughts. And the author gave in his book a good example when he mentions that “Beliefs separate a Mozart from a Manson, causing some individuals to become heroes while others resign themselves to wondering what could have been.” Remember Mozart use his power: Music to reach everyone around him but in the end the reached the all the world because it was a good idea that was share with every one. While Manson a sociopath that wishes spread his ideas of revolution by violence in USA during 70 years and even nowadays he is a very dangerous person to be in our society, because he has the same power of Hitler to convince mass to self destruction and war and other bad ideas. So we have to take real care about beliefs because they have power to create and the power to destroy everything at the same time. Questions Are The Answer The Vocabulary Of Success Remember Hitler was a great leader because he figured out that people wishes to him. But let's see the good side of this power. Have you ever pain attention sometimes how that Healers and or reverends gets his followers?!? Using emotion in his way to talk to speak you can feel all the emotion in his or her intonation this kind of person could make you crying or even laugh without any reason just because they make you do it. I've been keep my eyes in this kind of person, because they could be dangerous too for our life. This is a power that could make people controls another just with their voices. But you can keep in safe your self control just learn how to do it. How?!? Learning every day most and most make your vocabulary not bigger but huge and those kind of people. But at first place you must believe and each word that escape from you mouth your must have faith in what are you talking about. When you do it you reach the emotional states so your voice changes suddenly and all your desires and deserve appears in your words when you speak. At this moment people will be able to feel the same emotional and they will put them selves in your place and they will live the same experiences that you are describing for them. It will be like magic the magic of the words. If I can do this? Yes I can! As and actor I had to learn this power to convince people that I'm a character different than my self that are playing in front them. It is easy, no way! You have to have the control of your emotions and know precisely how to convince the masses that you are what you must believe that you are. So you have to involved the viewers with your character and make them have the same emotions and experiences that you are having. In a blink of an eye you can lose this control and you do it say good bye for your interpretation and for you director too. The secret is besides concentration you must believe in every single word that comes out from your mouth. Than with the power of your voice you must take the viewers to the same trip that you character is having. It's like ride a horse you must have the control and the command or you will fall. And I agree with the author said, that “The words we attach to our experience become our experience.” The Keys To An Expanded Life About will power, it's real necessary to make your dreams come true, without faith in yourself and what you wish you won't have anything. You must believe first in your self that you can be able to believe and others persons or things no matter but first “Believe in you.” So keep your mind safe from negatives thoughts and persons like the author said: “Read books, watch movies and DVD's attend plays, go to seminars talk with strangers.” And I believe that in one of those moments you will have a different and unknown experience that will change your life once again. Your entire life. And I agree with the author when he said:” Every experience provides something of value.” 2. Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? Of course I can relate some things from this book with my own life. Especially, when the author talks about experiences, and the power of the vocabulary. As an actor I had to learn how important it is to me, get the control of the viewers by the use of my own voice in thoughts. I had to make them believe that I was that character that I was showing to them. At the same time I agree so much with the author he was so delicate when he mentioned Mozart and Mason. The variations of the ideas of use the power to reach the masses. So I agree with him how similar but different at the same time could be these ideas. One is total dangerous and other so benefic for us. And the whole idea of this book helped to keep my dreams and goals and carry on with my life believing that everything could be possible to me, but first I need to
believe in my self just it. 3. What are the most important new ideas or concepts you learned from this book? Explain them: We have to be persistent and have to have will power to reach and get every one of our dreams and goals. We need to pay attention for our mistakes in the past but never live them every day. We never give it up of our goals and wishes and we need to picture in our mind how important these dreams and goals are for us every single day. We have to be care about people who wants to control our lives and we need to take this control by our selves. We need to act like kids to avoid this kind of people, asking every time about every thing be curious means be smart and wise. 4. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how. Well this book made me remind how important is to me to keep my goals, desires and wishes in my life, no mater the mistakes I did in the past, no mater the fears I have
about my future I have to have faith I have to keep good thoughts and have will power to carry on with my life. Yes this book challenged because it made me think so
deepest than I ever had before. About me, my life my goals, and sure it's changed me deepest. Now I don't have any doubt to carry on, to believe more and my self that in
other who wish control my life. I have the power to control my self so I will use it in my benefit. 5. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? Just the idea better the suggestion that the author do in the beginning of the book to look for someone that you don't see a long time and try to talk with him or her and maybe apologize for something etc. Well I can do this with the person that real hurt me especially because this person will not bring anything useful to my life anything good I could expect from them and this person will make me retrograde. So this person won't worth give any attention not from me. 6. What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? I believe the tips that the author give to us how to keep your life in control, how to pay attention more in yourself than in the other. How important is the power of
the words, the thoughts and to have dreams for human beings. Its real help me so much to believe more and more in me. 7. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. For me whole book is trying to convince we need to believe in our dreams, most of the ordinary people always call you “crazy” if you wish to dream what they judge too much to reach. Giant Steps means that, every dream and goals are possible if you have faith in yourself if you have will power and if you were wise enough to understand that you can be the master of your decisions and you can be able to control your thoughts and desires. But first of all you must believe in yourself. Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten is good and one is poor. A. How interesting was it to read? 8 Comments - Feel free to share any additional comments about the book or the ratings: From the book I just want to say that it's helped me to believe a little bit in my self in my dreams and goals that I want to reach. To believe that in this huge world there's a place to me too, like the sky full of star I can have my own time to shine too. But first I have to learn more about me, loved me and believer more and more in my self and raise the God that is sleeping inside of me. And I'll do it just collecting my experiences in my life, thorns a flowers I will have but in the end everything will be worth to fighting for, I just have to believe with my heart on it. And I will. Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude 1. What Ideas were personally most important to you in this book? Do not simply list the ideas, but explain or discuss why they were important to you, using personal examples. This book called my attention exactly on the first part that I read and in first chapter of this one: Where's the Road to Achievement Begins “We are poor ------ not because God… Meet the Most important Living Person I have been in some wonderful experiences nowadays in my life, I have been learning from those experiences how precious for me is to know my self and learn who am I in fact. Little by little I am getting better and I am learning who is: Silvio. I meet my own essence. My fear and my powers, my deepest wishes and the way to reach all them. The secret of this success simple: Serenity and the power that I got to control my thoughts and my own life. I use to have so many problems of being anxious, fears, and worries about my future, my decisions etc. I use to be sick many and many times for that. Stomach problems, low pressure even kidneys problems I had to face it. But nowadays I'm so glad with my will power and the power to read good stuffs like this book so day by day I am becoming a better person for my self no more a stranger because I met the most important living person in my life…Me. We need to Search for the Light For many time in my life I left the bad side of my magic talisman the NMA takes place in my thoughts and decisions. Every time I did that was so bad for my self and for the ones who loves me. For many times in the past I thought I was fighting against the worst demons in my life, the ghosts of my past, and I just thought for long time in my life that everyone just hated me so much it was me against all the world. When I finally found my self reading good books and of course always trying to change bad things in good things and learning with my own experiences specially avoiding to thing on my past and just waiting for my future keeping my eyes on the things of my present. So I searched and found the light in the end of the big hole that my life used to be. My salvation: the books and my change of think and observe my own life. Every Adversity has the Seed of an Equivalent Greater Benefit Well at this point I believe that my greatest challenge will come soon yet. So for that I just need to be prepared like a soldier I need to have a good warfare in my hands. So the best gun that I have is my knowledge of how to get rid of all my fears and worries, my culture and my wisdom. These are my precious treasures and my secret to achieve the good side of my talisman: PMA in the right time that I will need it. And my greatest challenge nowadays is be prepared to the TOEFL the harder test that I will have to face in my life until now. * You Can Change Your World: Like the author said to us: Dare it! Face the challenges of this world and fight against the NMA. How could we do it? Easy! Enthusiasm, personal initiative, creative vision, using cosmic habit force, maintaining sound physical and mental health, self-discipline, be the master of your own mind, definiteness of purpose and of course a Positive Mental Attitude. You were born a champion. But to reach the victory you need to be in battle and it means go out and be a warrior in battle of your life. Remember: Only the Strong will survive! So like the book I Dare You from William Danforth asked for us, I will have the courage to make this world so much better to live in. Ok it must be something so rebel to say especially for a moralist society don't you? But I really believe you can change your own world of course you cannot all the world but you can change and make yours so much better. First to do it you need will power, self confidence and be the master of your wills, mind and goals. It is demands such self-discipline, initiative, and enthusiasm. For example every time I have to make a test as an actor, singer or for a regular job, I have to prove for the person who will contract me that I am the guy that he or she is looking for. How? I have to prove that I am equal other people but “I have an ace on my sleeve.” If I'm trying to enjoy in a band I have to prove that I can sing all the songs very easy, I can memorize fast the lyrics and I can sing very powerful all the songs, I have a good performance on the stage and I can control any crowd. If the test that I have to make it's for a Drama Company, I have to prove that I can be flexible, I can do any kind of character, with many types of voice, I can memorize the script very fast and be on stage all the time with passion and always ready to help my mates with anything in scene. If I'm looking for a regular job I have to prove that I can be a good employee, that I am really responsible and I can deal with any situation next to me during my work hour. For all of that I will need to be a warrior, I'll have to take with me the right armaments to do it. My self confidence, my capacity to be creative and to deal with any problem, my enthusiasm for doing anything and the most important thing, the power to reach my Positive Mental Attitude. With all that I always got what I looking for, of course sometimes besides all of that things cannot works sometimes. When it's happen just look inside you give a big smile and be glad for you guardian angel because that think probably didn't belongs to you. Raise your head and carry on with your battle of life. You've Got a Problem? That's Good! * Keep searching for answers to these questions until you find at least one answer that can work. God is always a good God! A practical example of that in my life, when I'm playing my volley ball. Come on, all the time I have to be better and better on the squares here in my hometown or in other city like Brasilia or Sao Paulo. Like a warrior I have to be in battle and be prepared for any kind of challengers. Some times they can be easy, weak and not smart than me other times they can be so much more strongers, tallers than me, with more experience than me. What I could beat guys like that?!? Easy, I have to concentrate more than normal, put my focus on the game, play with my heart and soul, mistakes can be really deadly so I need avoid them, before ask for Divinity help I need to find my self and trust on me on my instincts. I need to see me as a champion not only for me but for my team, help them and encourage them to reach the victory or even play a good battle. Be a leadership. I have to analyze my adversary until find the weakness point, than use it against him. I have to use my ability to turn the bad situation in something benefic for me and my team. When you are losing a game the best way break the concentration of your adversary is looks happy and victorious it makes him or she so confuse than the concentration goes down and this moment you have to use your power with wisdom and quickly most of the time you can change your bad situation for a god one. And to tell the truth every time I have to face a bad situation or I becoming a looser I growing inside and a giant warrior takes place in my spirit and I become a winner just because I believe and I decided to face the battle and don't be a coward. 2. Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? Please use personal examples in your explanation. Sure I can relate this book with me especially nowadays that for the only way to reach my goals and desires is using my magic talisman with the PMA side of course. Like Tom Dempsey, I reach my goals part of them in volleyball. I'm not tall, but I'm fast and agile, I wished to be a singer, I never took voice class but I had the enthusiasm to learn to do sing in a right way even nowadays I've been learn a lot and I believe I will do it forever in my life. I wish be an actor, so nowadays I can be on stage, with no fear just a little anxious but it is normal. So little by little I reach my goals and beat all the challengers to reach them. But even on sex I had changes because nowadays if my partner isn't feeling good or is too much nervous and anxious I know how to change this situation and make them feeling so relaxing and free to use their imagination. This book is relating with my conception of moral relationship beliefs and way to see the life. I'll never blame God for nothing that happens in my life especially nowadays. We can choose our own path and decisions so sometimes we could chose a bad one. But we always could have the chance to change and back for the good one. 3. What are the most important new ideas or concepts you learned from this book? Please Explain. This book just confirmed to me my ideas that I already had in how to take care of my own life. But I like so much learn how to achieve the PMA and how to repel the NMA. How to change my own world, and how to meet the most important person in my life and who is he in fact. I loved learn how to see how to really observe everything around me. And I loved so much learned how to motivate others around me. Because every one of this items complements the others. All of this made me see the things so much more positive instead negative as I used to do in the past. Now because I've been practicing all of them in my own life think are happen all the time to me. So many good things and of course if I have to be in the battle of life I will not run from it. I will use all my knowledge to beat the challenge and believe me I will be a winner because now I learned how to use my PMA talisman side. 4. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how? As I said before this book just confirmed my own way to think and all my points of view that I have about how to have a good way to live own my life. This time I didn't find any challenge but of course it will change my life deepest from now one. But in resume most to the author's points of view I agree. 5. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? I don't have anything to disagree about this book or about the author; the book was really nice and useful to me. All the ideas and concept combines exactly the way that I always thought about my own life. 6. What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? For the most helpful idea is the whole idea bout to have the control of your own life, have courage, dare in be in battle of life, change your own world and learn how to explore the power of your mind and thoughts and learn how to control them in benefit for your self and the ones who surrounds you. And of course the poser to have, control and find the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) and how to avoid and repel the NMA (Negative Mental Attitude) from your life. And the least helpful is the “Get Rid of That Guilt Feeling”; because nowadays I can't feel myself like that ever. So thinking positive I just can feel guilt about nothing because I have been the master of my attitudes, decisions and thoughts. Just like that. 7. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. For me the book is trying to show us about how important is the good and positive away to think. The talisman pictures give us a good idea how to use it like a good and bad path you can chose in your life the same way works this talisman. You can use it to achieve the PMA (Positive Mental Attitude) or to achieve NMA (Negative Mental Attitude); it will be your choice how to use it. But the whole idea of the book resume in how to use the positive Mental Attitude and get so many gratitude in our lives or be a looser and suffer by use the Negative Mental Attitude and have your goals and dreams exterminated for it. Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten is good and one is poor. A. How interesting was it to read? 9 Comments: Psycho -Cybernetics 2000 1. What Ideas were personally most important to you in this book? Do not simply list the ideas, but explain or discuss why they were important to you, using personal examples. This book called my all my attention in fact this is the best book I ever found! Where's the Road to Achievement Begins “You Have the Power to Create Change… Self-Image: The Key to Your Personality & to a Better Life: Maltz responded that all behavior - all actions, all feelings, all human capabilities - was defined by the self-image. No real behavioral changes could take place unless the self-image was changed. Anyone could start a new and self-fulfilling life by changing his self-image. Maltz simple step-by-step “how to” model for creating and maintaining a new self-image went something like this: * Understand the role imagination plays in self-perception; I Have for many times in my life to face some kind a changes, it took such long time to create my present personality. During my adolescence which was the worse time in my life. I was looking for my own personality. During that time I always was trying to be someone else. Like a babe imitating its parents little by little I was trying to find my own self-image. But many times I was putting myself in bad and embarrassed situation, most of them very ridiculous. It was strange, because I was always blaming my parents for this. I miss so much has a father by my side. Because my mommy having to keep very close to my step-father which was blind and deaf most of the time I was alone only with my self. I just got start to find my self only after I enjoyed a group of actors in a theater. My step-father had already passed away. So I was stronger because all of the experiences that I had to live by that. At the theater place I was able to start to understand and learn how to use my whole imagination and self-perception. My problem as an actor was my self-confidence was very weak. I was so insecure and every time I was trying to call the attention of the others by my side. But all that I got with it was looking for them be so ridiculous and desperate guy. Just after reach my thirties age I got to fine a little peace of mind and the thing that I always was looking for in my life since my adolescence. My self-confidence. Since I started with my studies with the Institute little by little I was able to get stronger this self-confidence and I'm getting feeling my self more secure. It was so wonderful and good to me to learn to hear my inner voice, my conscious, my internal guidance system. In the past I was always in trouble because I avoided hear and pay attention in my internal guidance system. Now in many times this inner voice keeps my life secure and safe from any king of bad situations. And how can I do that? Simple, just avoid any kind of stressful situation in my life, keeping my self dew and alert in all my goals and projects. I have a really strong personality, I have my own opinion and point of view, and I can fight for everything that I believe. I have a big sense of criticism and sometimes I can be an unbearable person because that. I am like that because nowadays I know how to deal with my own life and I hate people which want to have control in others lives. I have been learning so much with all the experiences that my life gives to me, but I am a lucky person I just had in my life few bad experiences. But with all them I learn so much about me and who to treat person better than in the past. So I am a person which is able to learn with the mistakes of the past, I believe they are so important in our lives especially in my own. I made many things which I regret, but no one has a time machine to return and fix mistakes so you just must find the ability to changes your bad experiences to something in you favor. Of course learn from them it's the most important thing to do. But I have a block to do that sometimes, my worst enemy: My pride, my arrogance sometimes, and my insistence of keeping my emotional scares. And every time I do it I give a step behind to my goals and progress in life. I have been learning that keeps grudges are so bad inside and with me outside my body too. How to deal with that? Try to forget the past most of it and just learn from it something really useful for your progress than forget all the others things which are able to keep you on it don't live your pass but learn from it. So nowadays I'm living a day after the other and I do not live my past or even my future just my present. With it I am able to create good feeling and pictures in my mind and than my goals are becoming more real to me day by day. And I can get change my own personality for something that really makes me happy and brings good things to me. The CRAFT of Reprogramming: Five Steps to a New Self-Image: How can you take the control of your creative mechanism and reprogram it as a success mechanism? Think of
reprogramming your automatic mechanism as a CRAFT: * Cancel the old, negative data; Replace it with new image to yourself; Focus on an image of a successful you; Train yourself for lasting change; * The Two principles of the Conscious Mind: * Free Yourself From False Beliefs. For me the idea of the reprogramming my thoughts through the CRAFT look so precious to me. Once again I can use my volley ball activity as an example. Let's imagine. I'm a foreigner guy came from Goiânia, now I'm here in Brasília, I'm dying to play my volley ball, but when I found a good group of players to play it I have to prove to all of them how good I can be. Well I'm not tall and I'm not so strong like most of them. But I can reach the air very easily and I have will power and no fear. But most of them are ex. volley ball player's professionals. They know this sport so much better than me. They have such amazing experiences that I never had. The net that they play are very high and at the first sight they all looks giants to my eyes. Of course I'm a little worried about it. But I have to use the CRAFT conception to deal and beat this situation. First it will be impossible to me play my best volley ball in that time feeling fear. So first I have to “Cancel” this sensation and “Replace” it in my mind: I will have to start to “Affirm” to my self: “I can play a good volley ball to”, I can have less experience than them but I can fly and just some of them can do it. I still looks younger than most of them, so I have vitality, and I can be more speed than some of them, so it could be the ace of spades under my sleeve. All that I'll have to do get this is reach the best level of my concentration and keeps my “Focus” on my way to play this game. And at least change every one of my mistakes in something in my favor, “Training” this as a precious exercise not only for this game but for all my life. With all of that I'll reach my goals for now and ever. But of course it wasn't easy that time and never will be. My part of my mind was telling me all the time. Come on, Throw the towel, you are not good enough to this guys, you are so short, they have a huge block and you don't use to deal with tall blockers against your hits like that. You can not beat them, give it up. But I'm a warrior when I'm in a match. So I started to ignore my mind and keep all my focus just on the game, I just let my mind talk to me only to make a correction or
give me some kind of advices. Like: “Hey you can block this guy, just keep you eyes on his arms and follow the ball and you will get him”; or “come on, you were blocked
three times, look, just use your ability to twist your body in the air and you will hit the ball with no contact.” Give Your Success Mechanism Some Slack: Learn To Relax: * Stress: Private Enemy Number One; Wow, since I met Patrick in my life, he told me something about relaxation. I'm a really stressed person; I probably was born already under stress. Just after reach my present age I finally found a way to control this monster inside of me. I agree with the author, Stress is our private enemy number One! When I was in Brasília I had so many bad times, so I don't have any doubt about that those times almost made me move my self to a madhouse. I had terrible health problems, stomach problems, and kidney problems too. I'm a very anxious person so I use to suffer a lot because of this. When I finally found Patrick he show me a little of his secret to keep his very agitated life and even that keep his mind and be successful in all of his projects. The
secret is: Relaxation! I always had problems to relax but with him and follow the instructions from the temple that I used to go to find a little peace of mind and all the treatments that I had to start from there. I finally figured out how to relax and the importance that this has to all my life. Now I'm able to keep the control and I can avoid fights against my friends, parents whatever, and I'm able to keep in safe my healthy and serenity. All that experiences helped me so much nowadays. I can play better because I'm relaxed, I can think so much better and keep my concentration and I can use better my reasoning to find a better way to solve any kind of problem that I can find in my life. 2.

Please use personal examples in your explanation. This book touched me so deeply. I just can relate this most of its pages with my own life. The main idea fixed to me perfectly! At the same day that I decided to read this book, many things changed in my life. First because I was really upset and a little depressed because I had a phone call
from the school that I teach, it was just my first class and one of the students didn't like my class and blame me for her lack of comprehension. So I was so sad even got
to prove to the director that I was right and the only one guilt in this story was the student. But I was blaming myself building invisibles wall. So suddenly for the
first time in my life I decide to turn this situation in my favor. So I decide to look for help in this book. When I started to read it, the changes starts simultaneously.
I'm really calm and I can keep the whole control when I have to deal with my “family problems” and relationships, about my beliefs I'm totally secure and right about what
I want to believe or not the same to my values. But, when I have to deal with the ways that I have to find to reach my goals in life I could find some problem yet. 3.

Just because I'm a very anxious person, it's very hard to me always do to get relax or ever concentrate my self for some couple of hours.

deep and we need to find the control of all emotions especially bad ones. To deal with them when they appears. We need to take a time for ourselves to find peace of mind
in relaxation and we need to believe that the power to create changes lies in our own hands. 7. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey.

Establish A Mastermind Alliance Well what I understand from this book is the importance of create a Master Mind Alliance. It's not so simple like that. The hardest thing to do is find people which are able to help you, people willing to give success and your life. Especially nowadays, when most of the people are so selfish. Find someone that really want to help you to progress in life and want to enjoy your crew to establish a Mastermind Alliance it's not an easy thing to do Of course it's demands an extremely dedication, will power to make it possible. The secret is to find only person which really wants to see you happy, able to help you
to reach your goals and people able to help you with their experiences in life. That's what I believe. I'm a lucky person, so I already have those peoples in my life. In
fact my Alliance it's made by for four members, of course it can be changed any time, but now I decided that four it's a really good number for me. Why? Because quantity
don't mean to me quality! I mean I just want to have people surrounding me which really want to help me to reach my own goals, but of course I want to help them at the
same time. That is a really idea of a good crew. Like the author said; it's just like a train and I am the conductor. I can maintain this alliance with attention, sharing
all the experiences with my chosen ones, bad and good, trying all the time work as a group not individual. And paying attention all the time, and observing if someone is
riding out from the true path. Control Your Enthusiasm My, I am almost sure, in fact, I really believe that my one of my worth weakness in life is the Uncontrolled Enthusiasm that my person shows in many times in my life. It has been really strange to me; I find something to show my enthusiasm than after few days I just cannot stand that thing. All my enthusiasm just vanishes and here I am, looking for a new thing once again. It is a not good situation to be in. Just because you never are able to finish something at least. In the end you get a strange sensation of frustration in your life a big empty inside you. So for me it is really important know how to keep my enthusiasm controlled how to avoid over enthusiasm and uncontrolled one. For example, when I become really enthusiasm things starts to lose the control in my life, I use to tell to any one about the reason that I'm enthusiastic that moment, bad idea nowadays I know it. So I believe that right moment I create a huge camp of envy energy around me. That makes all my goals and plans fail at the same time. So nowadays I'm trying so hard to learn how to control this frantic enthusiasm. First I'm trying to keep my goals and plans just for me and for the members of my truly crew. Than I just try to live my life one day after another, I mean, do not think too much about the future, and take all the opportunities that my present is giving to me now. For me the benefits to have my Enthusiasm controlled are: I can reach with more certainty my goals in life, I am able to finish all my projects with no bad
interferences and I can avoid envy from the others. Wow, this is another problem that I have in my life I'm too critic. I can critic anything that I face; people, places, objectives anything. But life teaches you every single day don't you agree?!? Well I found in my life someone which is more critic than me! He is really unbearable sometimes or almost every time! So being a victim of his criticisms made me see in myself how unbearable I was too. So most of the time I did that as the person that I knew use to do, with no intention to commit damages in others lives but to make the person better for him or her self. Now I know that I could bring to them more damages than gratifications with my criticism. Because I knew that in many times I destroyed the enthusiasm of this person. I of course that is the reason for me have lost so many friendships in my life. A mistake that I have to take care how to avoid to commit in my life once again, forever. Learn From The Adversity And Defeat I really agree with the author when he said that everyone faces defeat, no one is safe from this and this is really important for our development in this life. In many times I had good examples who to see benefits in adversities. For example, it was really clear to me when I had an accident backing from school that time it was in 84 or something. I was really stressed, the place that I use to study was a hell in earth that time, everyone was a delinquents, some really dangerous some not. I used to be all the time stole from them; in the end I missed my lunch all the time. I had to spend all day long with no food, sometimes one or two of my classroom mates used to shared their lunch with me, sometimes. In that place I learned how to fight to survive, I mean all the time I was involved in a kind of quarrel, but it happened one day suddenly I just decided no more be a victim of those idiots but I could be a fighter as they were. My step father use to warning me: “If you be involved in a quarrel, fight until win or if you loose you will have to face me here so you will be in trouble anyway.” That was my step father. Anyhow, I learned how to fight too, than I started to be violent with anyone. One day I was really tired, too much stress on my mind, body and soul, but I was made a deal with my step father: he promised to me take me in my vacation to Rio de Janeiro, if I survived in that hell and if I get my certificate, I was in a Elementary School that time the 5 year, It was my second tentative to graduate in that. I tried before but I was so angry with my family because I wish so much to studying with my friends but it wasn't happen until I became an unbearable person for all my family! We had that time summer time so every day I had to wake up very dark yet I took my bike and the way to my school every day. Than I just left the school only after 6:00 pm. I was almost going crazy! After normal class during the day I had to be in a Graphics Studio, my I really hated that! I wish smack my instructor, and all my mates. I just loved when he became really sick, and they replaced our class to a photographic studio, wow, that was really nice! But like I was telling, I was really stressed, one day I was return to my home and I didn't saw the car, the only thing that remember was a old woman screaming, then my mind became dark, when I recover my conscious I saw a man very worried about me, he took me to my home my bike was a mess, I had been overruled by this man. He was very kind with me. After this day mommy understood me that I was going crazy and something could be worth if I still continue in that school. So I had to give up of the deal between me and my step father, it was really hard, sad and frustrating to me that time, I was losing my trip to Rio de Janeiro, my brand new tricycle, all the opportunities to have many gifts. But it was that or my sanity and healthy. The only one which gave me true support was my mommy one her. It was in the middle of the year so I had another problem, how could I be in my home the rest of the year doing nothing while my friends were getting ready to become graduated? No one schools wished accept me. So I remind mommy to ask her if I could start an English course. And she looked at me stared me and said, “Son, It is really expensive but let's see what can I do about it.” So she asked me where I wish to study and I said I'm dying to enjoy the CCAA school, I was already had a contact with their method before when I was a little kid in my second school, and I just loved it. We went there she was in shock when she knew about the prices, it was really expensive everything there: books, enrollment, and the dues. But I will never forget what she said to me: “Dear, I will have to use my allowance that your step father gives to me I will have to choose between me and you and I choose you, but you have to promise to me that you will do your best for the first time in your life I will give the chance to you to prove me that you can show me your best side, do you agree?!?” Of course I said to her; Eyes!!! I was fifteen or sixteen years old. No one from my family gave to me support for that, in fact I was hardly criticized because that.
But mommy gave all the support, even my step father was so mad with me because I had to broke our deal, the he stopped talk to me during one or two years. Hard times I had
to face. And I had to turn all of this in my own favor. When the New Year arrived I had another chance to choose the place that I wish study once again my mommy saved me,
and I had to make another promise to her this time I had to promise that I will do my best and I will get good grades and all my subjects in the school. 2. Personal Impact - Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? For me my personal impact from this book is: The Adversity Becomes a Blessing; 3. What are the most important new ideas or concepts you learned from this book? Explain them: The Habit of Smiling; This book showed to me how importance is for every one has the habit of smiling. My, you can really safe your day if you have a smile n your face. You can even safe lives and heal persons with a single smile. I really believe that. It is the same about the Facial expression, when you are mad your faces shows everything of your emotional state, you are not able to hidden nothing. The same happens when you are so happy, so for me the best way to keep your facial expression is keep your face serene. With your face like that you can release just good feeling and energy for everyone. For example one day I got a buss I was with a bad expression in my face so everyone started to observe me of course that everyone was really scarred every time those were looking at me. So when I took the buss to return I just decided to change my expression and put in my face a serenity expression. Wow, after that some kids start to look at me I felt the change of the energy that was surround me that moment, it was like a magic, people start to smile to me or look at me with a good vibration. From this point I understood how the importance of you keeps a good expression in your face. The author called my attention for something that I have really badly in my life the Eating Habits. I used to eat really badly. Sometimes I can't even eat something and sometimes I just eat things like: candies, snacks something like that. Sure I used to have serious problems with my stomach. Nowadays I'm feeling better, because last time that I forgot to eat I almost faint during a volley ball match. My fellows helped me there. So after that every Sunday when I play I use to each this: carbohydrates like potatoes, Protein specially meat and fruits I prefer bananas and apples. I like to take Gatorade with me to during the matches. So with all of that I avoid face that situation and I keep far from me the risk to faint in a game. The other point that the author called my attention is the importance of sleep. I know that in my own skin. I can't think well when I have sleepless nights; I use to be really moody when it happens. Now I understand how importance is for anyone of us sleeps well. I had problems with sleepless nights so I believe that the techniques that I learned from the book: Psycho Cybernetics 2000 and from this book here. They are making my sleep more constant. So I believe that the tips for a good relaxation here in this book will help me so much more. And at least Rhythms in Relaxation and Sex and Sublimation. Just in few words: for me, both are complete each other. There is now way in my opinion to exist sex without
total relaxation, I am not able to have a wonderful and magic sex with been relax totally. I just experiment this sensation with only one person. And wow it is so magic
that you almost can feel any pain or something bad in your body. It's seems you are numb, almost outside your own body, you are almost flying, your mind is free, no
worries nothing are able to bother you. You and your partner looks as the same in one person two bodies become one. So I just was able to feel like that once in my life.
Pity. 4 - Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how: Yes, it challenged me to pay attention so much more of my: sleep, my facial expressions, how to change my habit of eat and at least how to find relaxation and have good
times in sex. 5. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? I don't have anything to disagree about this book or about the author. This book was really wonderful for my life and changed me deepest. 6 - What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? For me the most helpful idea is the idea how to see in adversity blessings times. Change bad situation in a good one like magic but in this case it is really real. 7. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. The main idea resume in that everyone's holding your own key to success. We just need to form and cultivate with really careful our Mastermind Alliance; using all the time our PMA (Positive mental attitude) we are able to find our path to happiness. We also need to have the control of our enthusiasm, we need to learn how to see Blessings in an Adversity and we need to learn how to use the Cosmic Habitforce to reach our goals and wishes. Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten is good and one is poor. A. How interesting was it to read? 10 Part 9 - Comments - Feel free to share any additional comments about the book or the ratings: Well this book was really helpful to me a lot.

What To Say When You Talk To Yourself 1. What Ideas were personally most important to you in this book? Do not simply list the ideas, but explain or discuss why they were important to you, using personal examples. Looking For A Better Way You are everything that is, your thoughts, your life, your dreams come true, What I understand of these words is that the author is saying and showing for everyone how magic and precious our thoughts can be. Everything in our life depends of our thoughts. Your can have positive and negatives ones. The first move you ahead to a good path in your life, the latter make you stuck in the middle of nowhere and you aren't able to make any progress in your life. You can be everything and have anything you want but first you have to learn how to control and be your own master, the master of your decisions and of your mind. “The Answers” Not only once but many times in my life I've been waiting or searching for an answers to some of my problems. Can be: financials, emotional, personal, etc. I've been found the answers on books, movies or even inside myself. Believe me all that you must have to do is pay attention on the signals of the life. The answers you can find in the most ordinary thing in this world or not. But you always must believe that the true answer lies inside you…and in the deepest of your conscience and your success depends of your right choices. The End Result Of Your Own Thoughts: As I said before, your future and progress in life depends of your attitude and thoughts. So if you think positive even in the bad moments of your life of course things will be positive for you and positives answers will bring to you only good results. If you think negative, well bad things will happen in your life more easily. What Works and What Doesn't: I agree with the author said about to program our brain with a more successful “new picture” of ourselves and with positives thoughts to reach happiness and success in
our lives. But sometimes you can find some authors not so sincere and all that they said in their books looks to much easy to reach. I already know that when you face
something that apparently looks too simple in fact isn't not to simple in fact it's harder than looks like. So I believe that triumph came from hard work and positive
thoughts. But I agree with the author said about believe and choose self-help literature which makes and teaches you: The Missing Ingredients: I like too much when the author said about the missing ingredients so important but most of these self-help literature never mention about them or do it so rarely. 1- All the “external” solutions are temporary. For example if you do a course any one, but you don't practice what you learned from that, of course that the probability of your forget all that you learned it's huge. Like you learn how to sing correct all the notes but if you don't practice your throat won't stand when you try to use it more powerful. So you need to practice. The same happens when you learn from these kinds of self-help books, if you don't practice what they show to you, the tips from them they won't work in your life for you. 2- And I agree with the author when he calls our attention about the not all the brains can process the messages from self-help books, so we have to learn how to activate and makes our brains keeps and process all those messages. 3- And at least the miss thing that all these books always show is the how to programming our minds to process the new vocabulary that we learned from them and how to replace the program in our minds. I mean replaced bad thoughts and ideas for good thoughts and positive ideas. They don't show us how to use self-talk how this is so important for us and for our development in life. With self-talk we can be able to know better ourselves and learn and avoid mistakes in our lives. 2. Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? Please use personal examples in your explanation. This book just confirmed and made me feels sure about my studies. That my thoughts and choices I make in my life are the key for my success. I like too much when the author called my attention when he shows to us the three missing things that almost all these self-help books have. Of course nowadays after read more and more these books I'm becoming a better person not only for others but for my self first. I've been practicing the exercise to makes my mind have just good pictures and good thoughts. Replace the bad “Talisman” for the positive one! And I agree with the author: If it isn't simple, it won't work. My live must be understandable to myself all the things that I've been learn must sounds simple and practical to me, this way everything will be easier to me to understand and processes in my mind. If it don't I won't be able to understand the primal idea so everything will be sounds confuse and I won't be able to understand all the ideas. So I just saw this book as a plus document of information to my process of evolution in my life. This book is a good and precious complement for me to understand the whole idea and process of my personal evolution. 3. What are the most important new ideas or concepts you learned from this book? Please Explain. This book just confirmed the huge importance that everyone must have to thoughts to processes the right way I mean how to get the main idea from each literature can be
from self-help books or any others books. But you must have to learn how to teach your brain processes and get the right information from them. You must practice what you
learn of course, and if you talk to yourself about the whole idea you will find something new and helpful for you every single day. 4. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how? No, this time this book didn't change my thinking; just show me the right way to avoid bad literatures and how to choose my books better. And made me believe how important is to me has good thoughts and pictures in my mind. Just like that. 5. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? I don't have anything to disagree about this book or about the author; the book useful to me. And helped me to make good choices in my life from now one. 6. What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? For me the most helpful idea is idea that we have to have good thoughts and think positive always to get our goals in life. We have to know ourselves deep and we need to find the control of all pictures that our mind creates. We need to learn how to talk with ourselves everyday, learn how to find solutions for our problems searching for the answers, look for a better way, have new discoveries every day, use the right tools to reach our goals, learn how to say only positive thing for ourselves and put everything that we learn in practical. For me there's none “helpful ideas on this book.” 7. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. The main idea for me is the idea that we have to have good thoughts and think positive always to get our goals in life. As I said before we have to know ourselves deep and we need to find the control of all pictures that our mind creates. We need to learn how to talk with ourselves everyday, learn how to find solutions for our problems searching for the answers, look for a better way, have new discoveries every day, use the right tools to reach our goals, learn how to say only positive thing for ourselves and practice what we learn all the time in our lives. Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten is good and one is poor. A. How interesting was it to read? 7 Comments - Feel free to share any additional comments about the book or the ratings: Well this book helped me to carry on with my studies and progress with the IIGL institute. I hope this one can help the others to find their ways too. Goal Setting 101 Real Magic Goal Mapping 1. What Ideas were personally most important for you in this book? Intention From The Heart The idea about have my own Magical Genie is just amazing. I really agree with what the author said about each of our subconscious thoughts it's like rubbing our magic lamp. Each belief and goal that we hold it's like a constant command to a magical genie. We set our thoughts in something that we really wish and than because that we are able to put positive energies on these thoughts and than they become real like a magic in our lives. I agree with the author said that the most hard thing about to create a goal mapping is think about what we want in our lives. It's more common said what we don't want in our lives like: some king of person, poverty, we don't want to be unhappy, loneliness, etc. So nowadays I prefer set my wishes better call my genie and use my wishes straight to the point of what I really want. For example I want to have right now in my life: a career, my true love and success in my future projects. You see I was able to do my three wishes for now. I understood with this book if I just set the negatives points, I will give energies enough for these same things become true with a little help from my conscious, fear will block my strength. So I have to feed my conscious only with good thoughts, think positive all the time and say to my self all the time what I really want to get in life just. And of course I fear Rejection. I believe that nowadays I can deal with the whole situation so much better than in the past. I'm a really anxious person, and for all my life I had the sensation that all the time I had to prove something for someone. And I always used to hate this in my life. I had to do it in volley ball, in the Drama group, to my family, friends and school of course. Just when I moved to Brasília in 2000 I was able to get rid off this situation from my life at least. Nowadays I just need to prove something just for myself only. I don't give a damn for what the other will think about me, the way they look at me, etc, screw them! With my readings I figured out the importance to keep your goals in secret. Spread the news about your goals or plans or wishes and dreams can be really dangerous for you. The problem is the energies that the others will put in your goals, you will have to face lots of envy and most of the time this envy can ruins all your dreams. So I figured out that the most correct attitude is keep your goals, etc just for your self or share it only with the ones that surrounds you and wants see you happy and successful in this life. And of course I used to feel lots of fear of failure. I remember that the worth used to be during a Drama performance, I still remember that one day I just ruined a wonderful play just because fear, the fear of failure, I was terrify because the crowd and I just started to fight and yelling with everyone from the cast! It was a mass. In the end of the performance we all got into a quarrel a violent one just because my fears! I also use to lose lots of good opportunities in life because fear. Nowadays I just face any kind of fear as a challenge like I use to do during my volley ball match, ok I can be defeated but I even try to fight as a warrior not a coward! Plan Your Way to Success I really agree with the author when he said that all emotion empowers intention, and love is the most powerful creative force of all. What I understood by that was that everything you wish, you do in your life you have to do with you whole heart. Your have to put all your efforts on it! It's also works with your thoughts all that you with you have to give energy for it and this energy comes from deep inside of yourself. You have to believe that everything you wish you will see realized in your life. For example right now I'm a volley ball player I'm in the middle of a important championship all that I want is end this championship as a winner. So I have to challenge and defeat all the adversaries to do that the best beginning is picture with my heart and hold all my empowers intentions in this victory. I need to see me, feel me as a winner. When I do that I automatically keep and bring to me all the good energies necessaries to make my wishes come true. I'm rubbing my magic lamp and my genie will be in charge to realize this wish to me. Especially for me as an Arian I'm totally motivated by “emotions!” My thoughts, movements every little thing in me are moved by emotions. So once again I agree with the author when he talk about the emotions with for most of us are consider as a negative ones, a necessary evil but even in the evil nowadays I know that lies a positive side inside that, It's just like a coin and the two sides of it, one is evil other is good, and both belongs to the same coin. So for me I am nowadays discovering how to transform the so-called 'seven deadly sins' in something that I can use as an impulse to my own life. In another worlds how to use them as my 'motivating emotions' to me. So these Deadly Sins will be work to me like that: Envy: It will be something like a mirror to me and role model. Like for example I envy Michael Jordan because he can break the gravity so instead wish this power that he has, I will try to follow his model to figure out how he learned to do it. Pride: I will use it as a motivation to avoid cowardice and fear to do something. If I have self confidence on me I'm proud of myself too. I also will avoid people that fears and fight against my success. Sloth: Well I have this too but as the author said it's a kind of way to keep and save your energies and increasing longevity. A perfect definition. Greed: I can see that as a good motivation to don't become a conformist person, come out and fight for what you really want for yourself. I want have my own love, I don't want share my partner with no one else. I also want to find the sexiest lover to my self. And I don't want has to divide my happiness and everything that I can earn from my own work with any one. Just with the one that I love. Gluttony: In my point of view I want to be a glutton of wisdom and knowledge. That will be my strategy to survive and become a winner in this competitive world. Lust: Oh! That will be my definition to this sin; I believe that a relationship divides in 3 parts: Love, Sex and comprehension. Everything must be divides in same parts in our life. We need to have each one in perfect equilibrium in a relationship. It will make it takes longer than normal. So about sex lust it's a important ingredient in relationships this makes sex exciting and full of new discoveries. When sex becomes routine the relationship becomes the same too. Anger: A necessary evil. For example I used to be moved by emotions and anger can make me knock down any kid of barriers. For example during a volley ball match I can play so much better if I have anger with me not a any kind of anger but a directional one. That will make my performance more powerful than usual. Guilt: I have to agree once again with the author, with no remorse we will probably become out of control, committing terrible crimes and actions. Fear: And at least it's because fear that I can keep my self in safe. I avoid dangerous situation and dangerous places too. Choosing Your Best You I understood by that that we really need to take care about what our thoughts. Thinking up means thinks positive and bring to us by that good greetings. We need to hold our thoughts in all that we want because what we don't want we already know and save energy for good feelings is more adequate for us to reach our goals in a right way. Find a balance in everything that we use to do. Balance in love, sex, relationship, thoughts, and actions everything. Every little single must be in equilibrium to works right for us. The most difficult way to find my own balance is in mental attitude and spiritual. But with exercises and practicing them every day I can reach my own equilibrium in fact I already started to find this in my life. That will give me all the time peace of mind that will be the true fuel to my success, the precious map to my own treasure. And at least mind your language means to me that we really need to be carefully about what we use to say to others and ourselves. Use words like: I can't do it, I won't do it, or I can't get it. Its same thing to say to ourselves that we aren't capable to reach success on something that is challenging us. Say to ourselves only positive things it's the same of feed ourselves with positive energies and by that we will be able to face and defeat any kind of challenge. 2.

positives ones to me. 3. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how: Yes, it changed and challenged me to pay more attention about how to deal and organize my wishes and intensions to get what I really want for me.

How do deal with it and make it works for your benefit. 7. Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten is good and one is poor. A. How interesting was it to read? 7 Comments The Law of Attraction 1. What Ideas were personally most important for you in this book? Understanding The Significance Of Your Words I was able to understand in this book the importance of how to use words
correctly. And I agree with the author that some words can hold positive
vibes and others negatives ones. I'm almost sure that nowadays its easier be
a negative person than a positive one. When we do that we bring to us bad and negatives vibes. And of course this attitude will have a bad influence in your relationship, career and life in general. So why don't we ask for ourselves “what do we want” instead keep going with this negative attitude? This is the best way to cancel this negative vibe instead think that I can beat this team why I don't change this idea for: 'I will give the best of me for myself and all my team, together we will be able to reach the victory.' With this idea I can change all the vibe because I changed something Negative and impossible to happen for something positive and able to happen any time. So much better for you say what you really want in your life than what you don't want on it, why waste your time giving energy for something negative and able to ruins your life and goals?!? So why instead say what “you don't want”, why don't you ask for yourself “what do you want”? After read the book I figured out exactly what I really want have in my life and from now one I will hold all my powers and thoughts on it. I want have my true eternal love, I want to be happy with it, I want be successful in my career, I want to have my diploma from a university, I want do my pos-graduation too, I want be able to travel and know much more cultures that I could. I also have my own house; I prefer apartment, and my 2 or 3 doggies. That is what I really want in my life. For now I want to enjoy in a university. One step after another. So to reach my goals, of course I agree with the author that you have identify first your desires. And I loved the idea about learn how to use contrast to help us generate
clarity. The more I change something negative to positive more I can manage
my own desires and reach them avoiding say and thing in what I don't want to
my self. Give Attention Increases Vibration Well after read this book now I am able to understand what means “Vibrational Bubble”, looks like for me have a force field and keep there only what you think it will make you vibrating positive all the time. So I figured out what in fact I use to keep in my “vibrational bubble”; the ones that I love, good and positive energies, the faith on me, I mean my self confidence, my true dreams and goals. I really believe that when we use too much “affirmations” to make us feels better means that in fact we are trying to hide something from us. It's the same to me like that: “Oh, I'm so handsome; I am the most irresistible human being in this planet!” And in fact I don't have teeth, I'm half bald, I look like a monkey or a werewolf. So in fact I'm lying to my self something that I am not! It won't help me to have a relationship even feel better with myself. In fact the more I speak that to me more ridiculous and fill up of bad energies I become. And of course this attitude won't make my vibe raised. So the best solution for someone that has this kind of problem is saying to him self: OK, maybe I'm not the most handsome guy in this world, I'm fat, ugly, bald, looks like a “monkey” heheheh…and I don't have teeth; but why I can't change this saying to my self; “from now one I'll be in process to be in a gym, I'll be in process to start a treatment to gain brand new teeth, I'll be in processes to change my aspect.” After that I believe I'll feel so much truer with my self and of course better with me and with the one witch surrounds me. 2. Personal Impact - Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? For me my the most valuable message that the book gave was the it helped me a lot to confirm everything about what I want and what I don't want in my life. Helped me a lot to look deep inside of me and asked to me “What I do want”. Also help me to avoid fake affirmations to try to cover the true for myself. And help me a lot to identify the clarity through contrast process and helped me changes negatives thoughts in positives ones. As I finished read this book I was able to put it in practice. I had my
volley ball match as I use to have ways on Sundays. Something was wrong. And
I could feel that in the air. My best friend and I we almost have a
discussion a serious one, but with this book taught me I was able to keep my
self in my own “vibrational bubble”, inside it I was able to keep all my
positive energies there, the bad one I just released and directed to this
friend during the match, so I was able to do that without prejudice my self
and without argue with him. 3. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how: Yes, it changed and challenged me to exercise more and more the ability to see and change contrast between what is good for me and what isn't. Now I have to have in my mind only what I really want to reach my goals and reach my happiness. Now I have the ability to transform something negative in positive one. And most valuable now I know that lie to me is the worth thing that I do because I just can cover and hide for myself but not for the ones that I love. So Much better accept and keep my way on changes than pretend to live a “perfect life” that's what I believe now. 4. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? Once again I don't have anything to disagree about this book or about the author. This book helped to much really did. 5. What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? For me the most helpful idea was about the “vibrational bubble”, how to use it in a right way. How to rewording my affirmations to make them fit better in my life. How the importance to avoid say what I don't wont and how is more positive to me ask to myself “what I do want”, and at least how to identify all my desires, without prejudice myself. And stay alert and avoid thing about what I don't want and specially keep saying that because it will attract exactly what I don't want to have in my life. 6. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. In my opinion the main idea of this book is the importance of know exactly about your desires, and avoid say and thing about you don't want because this can keep you in a negative “vibrational field”, so put in contrast all the negatives ideas with the positive ones is the best way for you avoid surrounds yourself with this negative “vibrational bubble”. 7.

What Ideas were personally most important to you in this book? Do not simply list the ideas, but explain or discuss why they were important to you, using personal examples. The way I had been seeing myself changed as I read Psycho Cybernetics 2000. I had a different picture of what success was to me and my personal life as a being. Seeing success as an acronym it lead to me thinking of one having sense of direction, understanding, having courage, self esteem and self confidence. The way that society sees itself does not have to be a gloomy picture for yourself as this maybe a limiting factor for one. The society that I have grown up in has been secluded to limiting opportunities and this has negatively affected not only me but the generations that are been brought up. Yes we have to remember it that it provided a home for me but after reading the book a picture has been made available to me that we should not be having a limiting factor but have success in our mind. Yes old habits are difficult and take time to replace. The period that one goes through to try and accept change in ones life is difficult to accept but one has to think of reprogramming automatic mechanism. Old habits that one grow up or that one was brought up tend to draw you back from a set goal or target in your life but I think one has to accept a situation and replace those habits. This will lead you to train yourself in a new image of success and through the old habits definitely will tend to come back one has to reaffirm on the new image and focus on the new image of success. It will never be an easy road to travel on but you have to strive on that image of success. An important new idea that I learned was how to set a goal with the smart way. I was able to set a goal something that in my life I had not thought about doing. This was important to me as in my life one just have a set goal in which you have to work towards and be realistically be able to achieve. This will bring you to have a success type personality that will empower you to set and achieve worthwhile goals throughout my lifetime. An important idea that I learnt in Psycho Cybernetics 2000 is the way that one feels about over oneself can have an impact on your longetivity and strengthening your life force by taking control of your life is important. You have to take steps in order to make happiness a habit because in life you will have to make it a point to find means to carry one even in tough time that you can go through. This in a way will enhance your life expectancy. 2. Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? Please use personal examples in your explanation. I can relate to the ideas that have been expressed in the Psycho Cybernetics 2000. I life there are true situations that you will go through such as a career break that in your life things go through smoothly and everybody can relate to with a pleasant and unconflicting manner. There is a way that you feel that things are taking their course and everything will be fine you do not have to have a headache to try and figure how to go around a challenge that can be presented to you. I have been a good example to that. I think with positive attitude you do not have to stress yourself to think what next move I have to take in my career. I had a break through. As soon I completed my secondary education and wanted to proceed to Advanced level education. There came a time that my family would think I would not be able to complete my education but through thinking I was able to proceed. That way I gave an good account because in such a situation you do not have to loose hope because there is always a solution to every challenge. In life itself the idea that definitely got me is to live a life that you set your own goal. Set out a realistic goal that you personally set and are able to reach do not be distracted to think what if I fail or what will people think I am doing because that spirit of living someone else script will never work for me. Be a person who believes in yourself no matter what challenge that can present itself because life is not going to be easy or is life going to be as smooth as other people would perceive it to be. Never regret taking on an idea that will work for you. Strive to get that set target no matter what problems you can face in the way do not have a heart that will think twice of a situation. You have to be firm in whatever you may think and work on that plan to the end. 3. What are the most important new ideas or concepts you learned from this book? Please Explain. An important idea or concept I learned from reading Psycho Cybernetics 2000 was the idea of a built in guidance system, our brain that can guide me towards the things that I just imagined in my life. I would perceive myself to limits that would limit me and not think of things far ahead of me. The things I go through each day is a reflective of things that I will go through in the future. The things that I do not face alright will definitely come back in a same manner and I definitely bump into them and instead of having a solution to them I would do the same mistake. Now that I have been enriched I know that my guidance system has to be programmed to help me build a self image that I do not regret and should set a destination for my life, even for the one I love and help them in their destination. Another idea that I learnt was the idea that our beliefs are set. We set false beliefs and do not think of our potentials and capabilities. We do not believe in ourselves and we even pass that negative belief to our family that follow. I have a dream of seeing my son achieving something that I personally have not been able to reach. Trying to think of false image or not been able to see a positive outcome of a future will not be useful because this will have a negative impact on not only my family but including me too. I learned of ways of relaxing and letting the brain do the work. In the
world we live in we have to learn how to relax and the different ways such
as the Zen Breathing technique helped me. We tend to think doing all kind of
sports and exercise help out in maintaining, a healthy body but our brain
also needs time to relax and think over situations and the body and mind
relax. This way I learned how to work at some of my stressful events that I
would go through in my life. As such given attention can be more attended to
the family rather than going things alone you have to find some time with
the family as such helped me. In life itself the way that you perceive
yourself is very important. I would like to relate to myself as I looked at
myself as such. I would think of myself in a negative manner but not seeing
the success that I have been able to achieve in life itself. I have learned
to adjust myself for the future holding my success and trying to work on
other better rewarding opportunities that lie ahead of me. 4. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how? The book definitely challenged my way of thinking. I have learned some life techniques that I had no idea of. In our living you go through growing stages that you are expected to live by. The way we go through schooling or education and the lot we are duly expected to bring out good results that the challenges that you go through, you are expected to tackle them decisively. What if there is no solution to that challenge what do you do. You face the same problem and you do not know what to do. I feel that through this book I have learnt to accept Psycho Cybernetics something that I had no idea of. In this part of our world talking of psychology is something that only rich people have the money to spend on. Through reading Psycho Cybernetics 2000 it changed my thinking perspective totally. We have to accept some ideas because they help us in different ways. I think these methods can be helpful especially in our schools, universities and workplace because people face different challenges be it socially or any other means. The book has challenged my way of thinking in different perspective. Socially I think I should be able to relate more to people because we only live once. We have to play a social part in our communities we live in and for that community to grow it only begins with me volunteering a percentage of our time to help a disadvantaged person in a certain way or even give yourself time to find yourself finding the true nature of yourself and how you relate to others and them to you. Another view is that family is important and family comes first. We may think of a career advancement, think of promotion at work but family is important. Family is what makes us and the minute we neglect it, our family automatically changes. The way that one feels towards himself is very important. In life you should not see yourself as a failure because the end result is what you get. Thinking positively will help you have an impact that is further and this helps in your life experience. The way one reacts to situations as such helps in your life. You have to take a positive happy attitude to help in your life and this is what I think helps in my way of thinking. 5. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? None. 6. What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? I find that the life is something that is important and that people express themselves in different way. A person expresses himself in a different way and its important that we understand how that person is feeling at that particular time is very important. I found that yes a person can go through stressful time and there are ways to help out that person overcome stress and solutions to challenges that a person can be going through. I t helped me create SMART goal that I will be striving to work towards year-end. This is important to me and I will be able to pass it through to others, as this is a learning process that will be passed to others too. Through Psycho Cybernetics 2000 this book it helped me understand myself better. There are stages that we go through understanding yourself better, your strength and your weakness. I have a better understanding of myself and what I need to work on especially my strength's. I would like to volunteer my time in my community and working more or volunteering a percentage of my time to a local organization so as to improve throughout the year. Another most important factor is my family. I am going to try and work out some challenges that we went through and try to work them out. I did not find anything least helpful through my study of Psycho Cybernetics 2000. 7. In 50 words or less, please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. It is trying to bridge that gap that you understanding yourself and the positive outcome that you are able to bring out yourself if you dig inside yourself. Please rate the following questions on a scale from 1 to 10. Ten is good
and one is poor. Success Through A Positive Mental Attitude 1. What Ideas were personally most important to you in this book? Do not simply list the ideas, but explain or discuss why they were important to you, using personal examples. The idea of success through a positive mental attitude is an important personal development idea. For success itself to come to you, you have to work towards it and one has to have a positive metal attitude in himself. I think through my career break I achieved success in my work because I would have a positive metal attitude and things would flow. I would thank God for this and I would make several breakthrough even in the most difficult and astonishing situation that I would not think I would come through. I would give an example when I was going through my Advanced level education. There was a time that my tuition fees and exam fees were needed. I kept up a positive mental attitude that I was going to complete this education and I did. This came through that I kept myself inclined that I was to make it and I did pull through. I completed my A level and did write my final examination. We are all faced with problems or challenges, as I would like to put it through because they can be solved. I believe that personal challenges need a positive mental attitude. To take on challenges we need divine intervention and God is there for us. We have to develop a positive mental attitude because no challenge is great that our God cannot handle. In life we face problems some that we feel are too great for us but we can take them and have a solution at hand. I think personally a person has to have a spiritual relation with the almighty God to have success in your life. With success it comes with a positive mental attitude. If you have a negative attitude that does not help in anyway because success comes with a price. The only solution is to think positively and whatever you believe in you will definitely can achieve it and be successful. 2. Can you relate the ideas or concepts in this book to your personal circumstances in life such as your relationships, your beliefs, your goals, your values, etc? Please use personal examples in your explanation. I think I can give an example of living in my beloved country. There are times that you have to strive to achieve success. Success does not come easy in this part of world. It takes practice to achieve success and that practice takes dedication and commitment to be able to pull through. Success takes a positive mental attitude and surrounding yourself with people that are goal oriented will help you achieve a set target or achievement that you would be trying to achieve. I believe one chooses friends or people that have a set goal in life or that have a vision that is in compliance to his or hers and those friends or individuals play a part to the success or development to the person. Friends are very influential to success and one has to be very careful to hand around people that encourage you rather than people with a negative perspective to life itself. I believe that positive mental attitude come to those who desire to achieve a high goal and to achieve success try to achieve and maintain a positive mental attitude and have a burning desire to achieve success. It is no use to bear a burden of not knowing that you want in life yet time flies by and you grow old without any vision of what you want to be. We are very much blessed with different talents in life yet we do not take that opportunity to exploit what God has given us free in this world. We wait until last minute and try to cover up the lost time that we wasted to something or someone who is not to blame. I have a tendency that I believe is always right and in some instances trying to force someone to force take my idea without fully understanding a situation. This I learnt especially from my relationship that I became more understanding and appreciative of my partner likes. It takes a positive mental attitude to understand someone else and through this it takes a happy relationship and life. I can relate to a situation that a small child went trough here. Both parents were deceased and she was left to look after two brothers. Only when she was twelve years she had to drop off from school and fend for the family. This took a positive mental attitude to actually grow up as a child headed family looking for some financial assistance just to get a meal for the day took courage and dedication just to make the family get through the day. I see it through the book that we should not give up that easily. Here in Africa the deadly HIV/Aids pandemic is taking its toll if only we could get people to tell their story this will truly get others to develop positive mental attitude and pull through difficult situations that face each day. 3. What are the most important new ideas or concepts you learned from this book? Please Explain. The idea that the most important living person is I struck me. We do not really see it when we learn new concepts but in time we really fail to see that we are important to ourselves for there to be any positive thing to come out I must train my mind to have a positive mental attitude. Success is first thought in my mind and then I work towards it. It will take a positive mental attitude to be able to reach that set goal or target because it will have to be thought and worked through my mind. We are grown to customs such as going to school, study and pass our exams, get a job and live a happy life. I think I learned something that will keep you in line and direct you. That is inspiration. Inspiration comes from reading the Bible firstly and search for other inspirational books that have a purpose for your life. I learnt it through reading Success through a positive mental attitude and I have learnt to get on with others and find a dream that I would like to fulfill in life itself through a positive mental attitude. The 17 Success principles were very important to me. I believe to have or achieve success it takes some kind of way to achieve it in a way. I think through success principle I learnt a new concept in life. Positive mental attitude takes some real determination to be able to work through tough times to be able to pull through and it all requires patience and follow up to be able to start something of your own. I think we have been grown to a custom that we only grow up and have to work for someone to be able to provide for our families and well being. Through reading Success through a positive mental attitude I learnt of different figures that started without anything as such but became somebody of this world today. I believe it takes determination to have to go an extra mile that to take success in yourself. Yes you may stumble and fall but with faith you learn from that defeat and maintaining that positive mental attitude I will be something that I wouldn't have thought to be in this world. I believe with success itself I will not be able to get to that top without my family support and team effort. I believe that if I can get that positive mental attitude to be able to determine what kind of life I can live and ways that I can achieve success and be able to thank God for giving me that opportunity to explore my mind, can not get that satisfaction of my family will not experience that positive mental attitude. They can see a change in me but learn and also experience that feeling of success is important to me and I believe that sharing that opportunity with others is very important to me. 4. Has this book challenged or changed your thinking in any way? If so, explain how? Success through a positive mental attitude definitely challenged my thinking. I read all the great people made it through in life and to think they started small. The greatness that they were able to achieve was made possible through a desire to achieve a set target. I believe that with that determination that I have come to learn through positive mental attitude I want to be someone who will be able to be counted in my society that I was able to achieve something in my lifetime. We should not just be there to breath this air and die without having had made a history of ours because there is only one chance for us to grab this opportunity and make the best in ourselves that we may be able to achieve success itself. We may stumble and fall and be laughed at but definitely that will be the price that we may have to pay and we should learn from the defeat and not give up because tomorrow success will be great. Another issue that I learnt was that I always found a negative fault with someone else, especially in a relationship. There are instances that a quarrel may arise and that misunderstanding can bring negative emotions. I restored myself in believing that when I find fault I begin to look at my personal mental attitude because that is where it always starts. I have to find what problem I have before I blame that very next person because an misunderstanding should be resolved amicably with a positive mental attitude. Success through a positive mental attitude has taught me that I have a bright future ahead of me because day by day in every way I am getting better and better. With a conscious autosuggestion each day I am reminded that I can do better and that reminder makes me work toward a certified goal that I will try to work towards each day. There can be personal problems that can be faced and there can be solved through divine guidance, engaging in thinking time, stating the problem and keep searching for answers until I find one that works. In life itself there are challenges that you can come through. Each challenge requires you to constantly find a solution. I learnt how to use positive mental attitude towards my daily living by being able to resolve these personal challenges in life itself. Everyday I felt sore bored every time I had to make my way to work. I felt that I was not going anywhere doing the same daily routines. I found a solution and that way I found a step stone theory and worked for me perfectly. I set myself a positive mental attitude. There are times that you can tend to try and relax yourself with dissatisfaction but every man has to work in order to make an honest living. With a positive mental attitude you have to make certain that work itself is enjoyable and you are finding yourself working to a goal with a good attitude. 5. Are there ideas in the book that you totally disagree with? If so, why? None 6. What did you find most helpful and least helpful in this book? Through my study of Success through a positive mental attitude I found that this book inspired me to success itself. You cannot find any motivator that can try to challenge you from your old ways that you thought to be right yet they had fault in them. I think the book motivated me to seek myself with a positive mental attitude and repel the negative attitude that was in me. I reading Success through a positive mental attitude I changed my reactions towards my spouse, my family and friends. In a relationship you have to work towards developing a good relationship and try to work out differences that includes spending time together rather than ignoring yourself. Success through a positive mental attitude inspired me to work towards empowering others. I think it put some inspiration in me to try and motivate others in doing something at least for their community. It is better to give than to receive says the Bible. I have pledged my time to volunteer my spare time in everyway that I can help with. This way I can be able to give a part of myself to the development of my community at large. I can say there are some helpful ideas I found through my study of Success through a positive mental attitude an I did not find anything least helpful to me. 7. In 50 words or less please describe the main idea the whole book is trying to convey. I believe through my study the book is trying to bring out success that is hidden within us that we do not see but wait to be awaken. We should always try to see life in a positive mental attitude or manner for there are a lot of chances that wait to be grabbed only if we have a positive mental attitude do we get that success.
