The Magic of Thinking Big

Notes

Refuse to talk about your health.

The person who feels he isn’t important, isn’t.

Never leave home without feeling certain you look like the kind of person you want to be.

As you approach your job each day, ask yourself, “Am I worthy in every respect of being imitated? Are all my habits such that I would be glad to see them in my subordinates?”

…big men do not laugh at big ideas.

Do select friends who have views different from your own.

Everyone is important, equally.

… combine persistence with experimentation. People these days are measured by the size of their dreams. No one accomplishes more than he sets out to accomplish. So visualize a big future.

Leaders use solitude to put the pieces of a problem together, to work out solutions, to plan, and, in one phrase, to do their superthinking.
