David Schwartz is an American composer.
Believing there is a solution paves the way to a solution.
How you think determines how you act. How you act in turn determines how others react to you.
Life is too short to waste. Dreams are fulfilled only through action, not through endless planning to take action.
The thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you may have.
The test of a successful person is not an ability to eliminate all problems before they arise, but to meet and work out difficulties when they do arise.
Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never. . . yes, never. . . sell yourself short.
To think confidently, act confidently. . . Act the way you want to feel.
Knowledge is power only when put to use - and then only when the use made of it is constructive.
A good idea if not acted upon produces terrible psychological pain. But a good idea acted upon brings enormous mental satisfaction. Got a good idea? Then do something about it. Use action to cure fear and gain confidence. Here's something to remember: Actions feed and strengthen confidence; inaction in all forms feeds fear. To fight fear, act. To increase fear--wait, put off, postpone.
Think you are weak, think you lack what it takes, think you will lose, think you are second class - think this way and you are doomed to mediocrity.
Don't let tradition paralyze your mind. Be receptive to new ideas. Be experimental. Try new approaches. Be progressive in everything you do.
Luck take a second look at what appears to be someone's good luck. You'll find not luck but preparation, planning, and success-producing thinking.
How much we can do, depends on how much we THINK we can do.
When you help others feel important, you help yourself feel important too.
The person determined to achieve maximum success learns the principle that progress is made one step at a time.
Big thinkers are specialists in creating positive, forward-looking, optimistic pictures in their own minds and in the minds of others.
Remember, you see in any situation what you expect to see.
Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier -certainly no more difficult - than small ideas and small plans.
Believe triggers the power to do.
Get the big view of your job. Think, really think your present job is important. That next promotion depends mostly on how you think toward your present job.
