Increasing your Likeability

The first step in your plan of thinking yourself to success, must be to vaccinate yourself against excusitis, the disease of the failures.The thinking that guides your intelligence is much more important than how much intelligence you may have.”Never underestimate your own intelligence, and never overestimate the intelligence of others.Action cures fear.Indecision, postponement, and doubt increase fear.
