I realize more & more that as I progress & grow professionally, one of the major components that I’ll need to buff up on is simply THINKING. I have a sensation that my ability to think well will come with minimal effort & practices as I’m a naturally analytical fellow. As I was reading from ‘Thinking for a Change’ (p. 5), Maxwell states that the largest road block for most people is their feelings. Then he follows with this syllogism:
Naturally, this applies in all areas of my life (confidence!): Relationships, Business, Spiritual, Moral/Emotional, etc. From here, it is just a question of whether or not I’m willing to pursue growth & change. I am.
p. 10, the mind is a fragile & malleable thing – I must remember to guard my association as to protect my winning mentality (also the subject of the B. Duncan Leadership ’08 talk). It states to either, 1) hang with winners, or 2) walk alone. It does not say to hang w/nice people, or people with good intentions.
