In terms of the language that we speak, we speak and understand best our native language. if we speak only our primary language and encounter someone else who speaks only his or her primary language, which is different from ours, our communication will be limited. If we are to communicate effectively across cultural lines, we must learn the language of those with whom we wish to communicate.

Language we Speak

In the area of love, it is similar. Your emotional love language and the language of your spouse may be as different as Chinese from English. No matter how hard you try to express love in English, if your spouse understands only Chinese, you will never understand how to love each other.

Area Of Love

Inside every child is an ‘emotional tank’ waiting to be filled with love. When a child really feels loved, he will develop normally but when the love tank is empty, the child will misbehave. Much of the misbehavior of children is motivated by the cravings of an empty ‘love tank.’

Keep The live Tank Full

Keeping the emotional love tank full is as important to a marriage as maintaining the proper oil level is to an automobile. Running your marriage on an empty “love tank” may cost you even more than trying to drive your car without oil.

We needed love before we “fell in love”,

We needed love before we “fell in love”, and we will need it as long as we live.

Most of us enter marriage by way of the “in love” experience. We meet someone whose physical characteristics and personality traits create enough electrical shock to trigger our “love alert” system. The bells go off, and we set in motion the process of getting to know the person

Falling in Love

The person who is “in love” has the illusion that his beloved is perfect. His mother can see the flaws but he can’t. His mother says, “Darling, have you considered she has been under psychiatric care for five years?” But he replies, “Oh, Mother, give me a break. She’s been out for three months now.” His friends also can see the flaws but are not likely to tell him unless he asks, and chances are he won’t because in his mind she is perfect and what others think doesn’t matter.

Research seems to indicate that there is a third and better alternative: We can recognize the in-love experience for what it was—a temporary emotional high—and now pursue “real love” with our spouse. That kind of love is emotional in nature but not obsessional. It involves an act of the will and requires discipline, and it recognises the need for personal growth.

When your spouse’s emotional love tank is full and he feels secure in your love, the whole world looks bright and your spouse will move out to reach his highest potential in life. But when the love tank is empty and he feels used but not loved, the whole world looks dark and he will likely never reach his potential for good in the world.

Love is the attitude that says, “I am married to you, and I choose to look out for your interests.”

We must be willing to learn our spouse's primary love language if we are to be effective communicators of love.

The 5 Love Languages

it's not the fastest who wins the race but Slow and steady wins the race'. Because of the consistency. Compound effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices.At every point of time we have choice to choose go ahead or stop doing what we are doing. And what we choose at that point of time results in future.

"Compound effect" by Darren Hardy

The most interesting thing about compound effect is that even thogh the results are massive, the steps, in the moment, don't feel significant. This principle, we can use for improving health, relationships, finances, or anything , however the changes are very subtle. These small changes offer littl3 or no immediate resuly, no big win, no obvious but in the long run, it creates great results. Most of the people tripped up and give up so early because they dont see any immediate results.

But the reality is that even one small change can have a significant impact that causes an unexpected and unintended ripple effect. Compount effect can also work in negative way and can create a ripple effect thay impacts our entire life. SMALL, SMART CHOICES+CONSISTENCY=RADICAL DIFFERENCES

The most challenging aspects of compound effect is that we keep working away for a while, consistently and efficiently, before we can begin to see the pay off. We need to understand that real and lasting success requires work and lots of it. Most of us loses our patience in the beginning and stop doing what we are doing because we don’t see any results. When we understand how compound effect work, we won’t pine for quick fixes or silver bullets. Every successful people in the world have gone through that consistent work. Believing that success comes easily is our biggest mistake.

Compound effect is always working. You can choose to work it for you or you can ignore it and experience the negative effects of this powerful principles. It doesn’t matter where you are right now, starting today, you can decide to make simple, positive changes and allow the compound effect take you where you want to go.,

We all come into this world in a same way, after that whatever happens to us it because of the choices we make for ourselves. The choices we make can be our best friend or worst enemy.Everything that existed in our life because first we make that choices. Each choice starts a behaviour that over time becomes a habit. If you choose poorly then you find yourself to make other new harder choice, better don’t even make those choices. Because every choice and decision have compound effect in our life, whether it be go to college, whom to marry, gossip or stay silent,…..

Choices

Biggest challenges for us are that we aren’t aware that we are making choices. Our choices are often shaped by our culture and upbringing, and it can be so tangled in our routine behaviour that they seem beyond our control. Nobody wants to sabotage their life’s but we all make stupid choice or series of small choices that ultimately creates consequences in our life. We never get bitten by Elephant, have we? But mosquito? Yes, it’s a small and little thing in life that bite us. Compound effect always works, either in a good way or bad way. IT’S TIME TO WAKE UP AND MAKE EMPOWERING CHOICES.

We are all self-made men and women, but only the successful take credit for it. Most people don’t take responsibility of what happened to them. However, we have to be willing to give 100 percent with zero expectation of receiving anything in return.Only when you’re willing to take 100 percent responsibility for making the relationship work will it work. Otherwise, a relationship left to chance will always be vulnerable to disaster.

Owning 100 Percent

Take 100 percent responsibility for all of the choice you made and the way you responded what happened to you. You alone are responsible for what you do, don’t do, or how you respond to what’s done to you. If it was to be, it was up to me.

Thinking that we are simply unlucky is just another excuse. The difference between becoming fabulously rich, happy, and healthy, or broke, depressed, and unhealthy, is the choices you make throughout life. Nothing else will make the difference. We’re all lucky. If you are on the right side of the dirt, have your health, and a little food in your cupboard, you are incredibly lucky. Everyone has the opportunity to be “lucky,” because beyond having the basics of health and sustenance, luck simply comes down to a series of choices

Getting Lucky

Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief/mindset) + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it) = Luck

The (Complete) Formula for Getting Lucky: 

No matter what has happened to you-good or bad, victory or defeat, take complete responsibility for it. Own it.The day you graduate from childhood to adulthood is the day you take full responsibility for your life. Choose to be 100 percent responsible for your life. Eliminate all your excuse. Embrace the fact that you are freed by your choices, as long as you assume personal responsibility for them.

Pick an area of your life where you most want to be successful and picture where you want to be; richer, thinner, happier, …… The first step toward change is awareness. If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to start by becoming aware of the choices that lead you away from your desired destination. Become very conscious of every choice you make today so you can begin to make smarter choices moving forward.

YOUR SECRET WEAPON-YOUR SCORECARD

Track every action that relates to that are of your life you want to improve. Carry around a small notebook, something you’ll keep in your pocket or purse at all times, and a writing instrument. You’re going to write it all down. Every day. Without fail. No excuses, no exceptions. The magic is not in the complexity of the task; the magic is in the doing of simple things repeatedly and long enough to ignite the miracle of the Compound Effect. The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful people are not.

We spend money life drunken fool and don’t even know how to account for. Tracking where we are spending money create awareness in us and be aware of the choice we make and disciplines around money. Track each and everything-even a cent of spending what you eat, drink everything that give you awareness of how you related to your money and get out of that money TRAP.

Money TRAP

Just start with one habit for one week. Start easy. Pick the habit that has the greatest control over you. If you want to lose weight, then write down everything you put in your mouth. Then over a week you will be shocked to know how mmuch calories have been escaping you. A cup of coffee, $4 a day that you have is going to cost you $51,833.79 in twenty years. Ask yourself today, do you really need to stop for coffee again??

Keep It Slow And Easy

Every dollar we spend today, now matter where we spend it, is costing us nearly five dollars in next 20 years. ‘Is having a coffee once every workday worth the eventual price of a Mercedes-Benz?’ MAKE YOUR CHOICE TODAY……..

Once you start tracking your life, your attention will be focused on the smallest things you’re doing right, as well as the smallest things you’re doing wrong. And when you choose to make even the smallest course corrections consistently, over time, you’ll begin to see amazing results. But don’t expect immediate fanfare, nobody will applause anytime soon or congratulating you but the compound effect will pay over time. To win the race, there is not much different between the first and second but there is thousands of miles race have been compounded. Have a good day

The Unsung And Unseen Heroes

Be committed to walk a few extra miles consistently and see the ripple effect in outcome. It doesn't take a long to just give a word if appreciation but if you do it consistently then you can see the transformation in that person, over the time, it will compound in his/her performance. So are you will to walk an extra mile and give that little appreciation daily to someone who is doing good in their job?

Take A Walk

What will you choose- to buy one more starbucks coffee or instead make your own coffee and save rest of the money? It's a little little choice we make in every penny today make a hugr difference in future. Saving your 10% income today as if you have never earn that money and invest it. If you think after all your expenses you wont left with any extra money. Try track your every expenses and try to cut on those unnecessary expense and save it, even if it's a doller. Invest in your personal growth and you will have a ripple effect in your finance later on.

Money💰 Tree🌳 

Saving a doller amount a day or spend it .. is the little choice we make which have a huge difference later on.

The earlier you start making small changes, the more powerfully the Compound Effect works in your favor. We can always start later but we would have get better if we start earlier but we can do it with double effort. So don’t wait another day to start the small disciplines that will lead you in the direction of your goals!

Time If OF The Essense

Success Is a (Half-) Marathon: Start tracking at least one behavior in one area of your life ? you’d like to change and improve (e.g., money, nutrition, fj tness, recognizing others, parenting… any area). Your life is a products of your moment-to-moment choices, you have incredible power to change your life by changing those choices. Step by step, day by day, your choices will shape your actions until they become habits, where practice makes them permanent.

Success Is A (Half-) Marathon 

Losing is a habit. So is winning. Now let’s work on permanently instilling winning habits into your life. Eliminate sabotaging habits and instill the needed positive habits, and you can take your life in any direction you desire, to the heights of your greatest imagination.

Our habits has the power over life and what we do in life. The older the habit, the harder it get to leave behind. And sometimes when our habits become unavoidable, we don’t even try to do different things as it is harder to leave our old habit.CREATURES OF HABIT:Aristotle once said, ‘we are what we repeatedly do.’ A habit is an acquired mode of behaviour that has become nearly or completely involuntary.Most of us are riding the horse of our habits without knowing where we are heading. It’s time to take control of the reins and move your life in the direction of where you really want to go.

Creature Of Habit

Understand why you are letting your habits to live an autopilot life. We can let ourselves of the hook because 95 percent of everything we feel, think, do and achieve is a result of a learned habit! We’re born with instincts, of course, but no habits at all. We develop them over time. Habits can be helpful—as long as they’re good habits, that is. A daily routine built on good habits is the difference that separates the most successful amongst us from everyone else.

With enough practice and repetition, any behaviour, good or bad, becomes automatic over time. That means that even though we developed most of our habits unconsciously, we can consciously decide to change them. It stands to reason that since you learned every habit you have, you can also unlearn the ones that aren’t serving you well

We humans are rational people but we are enslaved by so many bad habits because our need for immediate gratification can turn us into the most reactive, nonthinking animals around. Because the habits we carry gives us instant gratification and we dont see immediate effect in our life we always ignore the consequences that can cause later on. For example, if we take a big mac bite and immediately we get heart attact, we dont go back to have a second bite. And failing to make 10 calls a day, you could lose your job, you might not make an excuses not to make those calls....

Start by Thinking Your Way Out of the Instant Gratification Trap

The problem is that the payoff or instant gratif j cation derived from bad habits often far outweighs what’s going on in your rational mind concerning long-term consequences. Indulging in our bad habits doesn’t seem to have any negative effects at all in the moment. You dont have a heart attack or ne unemployed, doesn’t mean you haven't activated compound effect.

the habits you indulge in could be compounding your life into repeated disaster. The slightest adjustments to your daily routines can dramatically alter the outcomes in your life. Not the big difference but Supersmall, seemingly inconsequential adjustments can and will revolutionize everything

The Compound Effect

Q Go ahead and tell me more of the methods by which you cause people to drift to hell with you! A I cause people to drift on every subject through which I can control independent thought and action. Take the subject of health, for example. I cause most people to eat too much food and the wrong sort offood. This leads to indigestion and destroys the power of accurate thought. If the public schools and the churches taught children more about proper eating, they would do my cause irreparable damage.

owtwitting the devil by Napoleon Hill from the the chapter drift

Marriage: I cause men and women to drift into marriage without plan or purpose designed to convert the relationship into harmony. Here is one of my most effective methods of converting people into the habit of drifting. I cause married people to bicker and nag one another over money matters. I cause them to quarrel over the bringing up of their children. I engage them in unpleasant controversies over their intimate relationships and in disagreements over friends and social activities. .

Occupation: I teach people to become drifters by causing them to drift out of school into the first job they can find, with no definite aim or purpose except to make a living. Through this trick I keep millions of people in fear of poverty all their lives. Through this fear I lead them slowly but surely onward until they reach the point beyond which no individual ever has broken the drifting habit

Savings: I cause people to spend freely and to save sparingly or not at all, until I take complete control of them through their fear ofpoverty.

Environment: I cause people to drift into inharmonious and unpleasant environments in the home, in their places ofoccupa- tion, in their relationship with relatives and acquaintances, and to remain there until I claim them through the habit ofdrifting.

Dominating Thoughts: I cause people to drift into the habit of thinking negative thoughts. This leads to negative acts and involves people in controversies and fills their minds with fears, thus paving the way for me to enter and control their minds. When I move in, I do so by appealing to people through negative thoughts which they believe to be their own. I plant the seeds of negative thought in the minds of people through the pulpit, the newspapers, the moving pictures, the radio, and all other popular methods of appeal to the mind.

I cause people to allow me to do their thinking for them because they are too lazy and too indifferent to think for themselves

Following the success of his 1937 landmark bestseller, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill wrote Outwitting the Devil, an exposé on the methods the Devil uses to ensare and control the minds of human beings. Exploring the innermost depths of the psychology of motivation to understand why so many individuals, including himself, cannot find the initiative and courage they need to consistently implement the philosophy of individual achievement, Hill went so far as to interview the Devil himself. The resulting confession from the Devil made this book so controversial as to remain unpublished for over 70 years. Now it is your turn to break the Devil's code and free yourself from the hidden methods of control that lead to ruin. In this reproduction of the complete text of Hill's original manuscript is laid out the exact nature of the power by which the Devil disarms human beings with fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy so that they do not reach their full potential. This is the same power that paralyzed millions of individuals with fear and despondency during the Great Depression and continues to hold people back from their dreams. Complacency and mediocrity are not the root issue; they are symptoms of deeper ills that we are conditioned by society to accept. But you must open your mind to acquire knowledge and consider facts that might not harmonize with your personal beliefs in order to access a greater truth that will, as Hill said in his original preface, "bring harmony out of chaos in this age of frustration and fear." If you have been the victim of lost courage, weakened enthusiasm, and lack of self-discipline--if you are demoralized and plagued by fear, anxiety, overwhelm, or apathy--the seven principles to freedom detailed in this book herald your redemption. You will finally become independent of the causes of failure and misery, break the bonds of destructive habits, and unlock the secret of a natural law as significant as the law of gravity so that you can outwit the devil once and for all.

Outwitting the Devil

Outwitting the devil -Those who do little or no thinking for themselves are drifters. A drifter is one who permits himselfto be influenced and controlled by circumstances outsideofhis own mind. -The mind is nothing more than the sum total of one's habitsI

Drifting with the Devil from the Book OUTwitting the devil 

Hill mentioned that todays public education system teaches people everything, except how to use their mind. Think of young chil- dren during kindergarten and first grade. They are enthusi- astic and volunteer for everything, raising their hands and excited to learn. Now fast-forward ten years, and think about those same children as high school students-the ones sitting in the back of the class, never making eye contact with adults, and absolutely never volunteering or asking a question. They have disengaged from the learning process. What happened to these children? Ten years of schooling.

I was under the impression that the purpose of all schooling was to help children to think.That may be the purpose of schooling, but the system in most of the schools of the world does not carry out the pur- pose. School children are taught not to develop and use their own minds, but to adopt and use the thoughts of others. This sort of schooling destroys the capacity for independent thought, except in a few rare cases where children rely so defi- nitely upon their own will power that they refuse to allow others to do their thinking. Accurate thought is the business of my opposition, not mine!

People who think accurately do not drift on any subject. They recognize the power of their own minds. Moreover, they take over that power and yield it to no person or influence

Originally written in 1938 but never published due to its controversial nature, an insightful guide reveals the seven principles of good that will allow anyone to triumph over the obstacles that must be faced in reaching personal goals.

As this book is an interview between Napoleon Hill and the Devil where the devil(Our inner dark self) is interviewed by Hill.Background of this book:Outwitting the Devil is a work of fiction that was written in 1938 by Napoleon Hill, which was considered too controversial to be published in its era.The book is written as an interview between Hill (Mr. Earthbound) and the devil (our inner dark self), wherein Hill attempts to uncover the secrets to freedom and success by evaluating the greatest obstacles that humans face in order to attain their personal goals in life.

Outwitting the Devil was released by Sterling Publishing in June, 2011, with annotations by SharonLechter.-May we all make an inventory of our blessings in life. And give thanks for every gift that we have been given. I know that when I am at a low point in my life, I force myself to think of my family and friends and the blessings they have brought to my life. It is the quickest path up and puts my temporary setbacks into perspective.-Every individual has the power to change his or her material or financial status by first changing the nature o fhis or her beliefs. "

-Do not confuse the word "belief" with the word "wish." The two are not the same. Everyone is capable of"wishing" for financial, material, or spiritual advantages, but the element of faith is the only sure power by which a wish may be translated into a belief, and a beliefinto reality.

Q I have uncovered the secret code by which I can pick up your thoughts. I have come to ask you some very plain ques- tions. I demand that you give me direct and truthful answers. Are you ready for the interview, Mr. Devil?A Yes, I am ready, but you must address me with more respect. During this interview you will address me as "Your Majesty."Q Bywhatrightdoyoudemandsuchroyalrespect?A You should know I control 98 percent ofthe people of yourworld. Do you not think that entides me to rate as royalty?

interview between napoleon hill and the devil

Q That is a fine idea, Your Majesty. Start by telling me where you live. Then describe your physical appearance.A My physical appearance? Why, my dear Mr. Earthbound, I have no physical body. I would be handicapped by such an encumbrance as those in which you earthbound creatures live. I consist of negative energy, and I live in the minds of people who fear me. I also occupy one-half of every atom of physical matter and every unit of mental and physical energy. Perhaps you will better understand my nature if! tell you I am the nega- tive portion ofthe atom.

Q You must have many tricks and devices by which you gain and hold control ofthe human mind.A To be sure, I employ tricks and devices to control human thought. My devices are clever ones too.Q Go ahead and describe your clever tricks, Your Majesty.A One of my cleverest devices for mind control is fear. I plant the seed offear in the minds ofpeople, and as these seeds ger- minate and grow, through use, I control the space they occupy. The six most effective fears are the fear ofpoverty, criticism, ill health, loss oflove, old age, and death.

Q. Will you tell me how you go about your job of preparing human minds so you can control them?A I have countless ways of gaining control of human minds while they are still on the earth plane. My greatest weapon is poverty. I deliberately discourage people from accumu- lating material wealth because poverty discourages men from thinking and makes them easy prey for me. My next best friend is ill health. An unhealthy body discourages thinking. Then I have countless thousands ofworkers on earth who aid me in gaining control of human minds. I have these agents placed in every calling.

They represent every race and creed, every religion.

-Q.Whoareyourgreatestenemiesonearth,YourMajesty?A All who inspire people to think and act on their own initia- tive are my enemies. Such men as Socrates, Confucius, Voltaire, Emerson, Thomas Paine, and Abraham Lincoln. And you are not doing me any good either.

Napoleon Hill's Outwitting the Devil

He mentioned that your level of success,will rarely exceed your level of personal development because success is attracted by the person your become. According to the Social Security Administration, if you take any100 people at the start of their working careers and follow them for the next 40 years until they reach retirement age, here's what you'll

find: only 1 will be wealthy; 4 will be financially secure; 5 will continue working, not because they want to but because they have to; 36 will be dead; and 54 will be broke and dependent on friends, family, relatives, and the government to take care of them Monetarily speaking, that's only 5% of us who will be successful in creating a life of freedom, and 95% who will continue to struggle their entire lives. !

The possibility of mediocrity exists for everyone, because being mediocre simply means choosing--whether consciously or unconsciously-to be the same as you've always been. Mediocrity has nothing to do with how you compare to other people; it's simply a result of not making the commitment to continuously learn, grow, and improve yourself. Whereas being extraordinary, which leads to extraordinary levels of success is a result of choosing to learn, grow, and be just a little bit better each day than you've been in thepast. if we don't change now, our life won't change.

If we don't get better, our life won't get better. And if we don't consistently invest time into our self-improvement, our life will not improve. Yet, most of us wake up every day and stay the same.To have a miracle morning, these six steps is very useful. SAVERS:Silence:-As soon as we wake up, stay calm and silence for 5-10 minutes. This will help to minimize the stress level. Ö MeditationÖ PrayerÖ ReflectionÖ Deep Breathing Ö Gratitude

SAVERS

Affirmations:-After silence, its time for affirmations. Creating your own self talk about health ,finances relationships.-Affirmations helps to build the self esteem-“I am the greatest!” Muhammad Ali affirmed these words over and over again—and then he became them. Affirmations are one of the most effective tools for quickly becoming the person you need to be to achieve everything you want in your life. Affirmations allow you to design and then develop the mindset (thoughts, beliefs, focus) that you need to take any area of your life to the next level.

The essence of meditation is simply silencing or focusing the mind for a period of time. You may or may not be aware of all the extraordinary health benefits of meditating. Study after study shows that meditation can be more effective than medication. Studies link regular meditation to changes in metabolism, blood pressure, brain activation, and other mind and bodily functions.

The purpose of a written affirmation is to program your mind with the beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors/habits that are vital to your being able to attract, create, and to sustain your ideal levels of success —Level 10 success—in every area of your life

Visualisations:-Visualising the future into present.-Visualization, also known as creative visualization or mental rehearsal, refers to the practice of seeking to generate positive results in your outer world by using your imagination to create mental pictures of specific behaviors and outcomes occurring in your life. Frequently used by athletes to enhance their performance, visualization is the process of imagining exactly what you want to achieve or attain, and then mentally rehearsing what you’ll need to do to achieve or attain it.

Famous example is actor Jim Carrey, who wrote himself a check in 1987 in the amount of 10 million dollars. He dated it for “Thanksgiving 1995” and added in the memo line, “For acting services rendered.” He then visualized it for years, and in 1994 he was paid 10 million dollars for his starring role in Dumb and Dumber.

Example 

“Every morning, you’ve got to get your heart rate up. and get your blood flowing and fill your lungs with oxygen.” He continued, “Don’t just exercise at the end of the day or at the middle of the day. And even if you do like to exercise at those times, always incorporate at least 10 to 20 minutes of jumping jacks or some sort of aerobic exercise in the morn The benefits of morning exercise are too many to ignore. From waking you up and enhancing your mental clarity, to helping you sustain higher levels of energy throughout the day, exercising soon after rising can improve your life in many ways

THE MIRACLE MORNING

-I stopped putting energy into wishing my life were any different—into wishing bad things didn’t happen to me—and instead focused 100% on making the best of what I had. Since I couldn’t change the past, Ifocused on moving forward. I dedicated my life to fulfilling my potential and achieving my dreams so I could discover how to empower others to do the same.

Some of the lines from the first chapter: 

-as a result of choosing to be genuinely grateful for all that I had, unconditionally accepting of all that I didn’t, and accepting total responsibility forcreating all that I wanted, this potentially devastating car accident ultimately became one of the best things that ever happened to me

-If I could go from being found dead, told I would never walk again, going broke and feeling so depressed that I didn’t want to get out of bed in the morning, to creating the life of my dreams, there are no legitimate excuses for you not to overcome any limitations that have held you back from achieving everything you want for your life.

- begins with accepting total responsibility for every aspect of your life and refusing to blame anyone else. The degree to which you accept responsibility for everything in your life is precisely the degree of personal power you have to change or create anything in your life.

-Thinking back to my accident, while I wasn’t at fault for the crash, I was responsible for improving my life—for making my circumstances what I wanted them to be. It really doesn’t matter who is at fault—all that matters is that you and I are committed to leaving the past in the past and making our lives exactly the way we want them to be, starting today

Champions believe if you remove the adversity, you remove the victory. As a result, they tend to view adversity as a challenge through which learning and growing occurs. Their world view is evident in the way they describe the adversities they face.

Champions Know Adversity Is The Catalyst Of Mental Toughness  

While average people choose the path of least resistance, world-class performers operate at a higher level of awareness. They understand that stress and struggle are the key factors in becoming mentally tough. While average people watch television and hang out at happy hour, the great ones continue to push themselves mentally and physically to the point of exhaustion. Only then will you see them in rest and recovery situations. Adversity, to average people, equals pain.

Adversity, to world-class performers, is their mental training ground. It’s how they become mentally tough. Average people scorn adversity. Those who are world class don’t welcome adversity; yet they see it as the ultimate catalyst for mental growth, as well as the contrast needed to recognize the beauty of life.

 Adversity 

Self discipline and respect are connected. Respect is the fruit of disciplined life, both self-respect and the respect of others.- Respect is earned on difficult ground. We also earn self-respect on difficult ground. Self-discipline is its own reward.

The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on. Turning faucet on is the beginning. Respect is a result of keeping it on. Self-discipline allows us to do that.- Consistency is not a fancy word. It doesn’t prove itself quickly, but it rewards in kong run. Anybody can be good once in a while. Only the self-discipline are consistently good. And that consistency makes people notice us and expect us to deliver.

- Consistency is a prerequisite to excellence. The first step is to master the basic. We don’t just jump to excellence. The road to get there is consistency. Improvement is possible only through consistent practice.- Successful people do daily what unsuccessful people do only occasionally. The bookends of success are beginning well and ending well.

- If we want to become the leader we have the potential to be, we need to pay the price of self-discipline.- When we flying on airplane, the air attendants says put oxygen mask on yourself before you put it on your child and someone who may need your assistance. It is because it is impossible to help others effectively until we have helped ourself.

- Self-discipline is what enables us to do that. If there’s one thing to fight for as a leader, this it self-discipline, because it unlocks the door to so many other abilities: character, priorities, influence, and serving people. If we win the battles wihin, all the other victories become within reach.

Self Learning

If you are in the battle, don’t compare yourself with someone else highlights. Those who play, they will get hurt but they have a chance to win whereas, those who don’t play they will loose before they start. We go through discouragement, learn to remove dis and go with courage.

Are you willing to go more and do more than, remember quitters will quit and winners will win. Distractions will destroy your goals.Having a vision is sign of maturity where as, man without vision is gone and done. People succeed when their belief is up. Back door doesn’t work, come through front door and go through front door. Everyone of us can do
