The thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you have.

Intelligence vs thinking

Look at things not as they are, but as they can be. Visualization adds value to everything. A big thinker always visualizes what can be done in the future. He isn't stuck with the present.

The Two basic errors :

The point is clear. People who get things done in this world don’t wait for the spirit to move them; they move the spirit.

Move your spirit 

Meet problems and obstacles as they arise. The test of a successful person is not the ability to eliminate all problems before he takes action, but rather the ability to find solutions to difficulties when he encounters them.

Meet obstacles 

Concentrate on your assets. You’re better than you think you are.

At last David reminds :

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.

Why mediocrity?

when we do what is known to be wrong, two negative things happened. First, we feel guilt and this guilt eats away confidence. Second, other people sooner or later find out and lose confidence in us.

Don't let negative overpower your Brain

WHEN YOU BELIEVE, YOUR MIND WILL FIND WAY TO DO.

Be Believer
