The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz

Additionally, successful people aren’t gifted with extra brains but it’s their hard work that takes them where they are. David asserts that one must never underestimate his own intelligence. Next, we worry about our intelligence and complain that we can’t succeed because we lack in the brains department. Therefore, stop worrying about your health and start being grateful for what you have.

If you’re suffering from health excusitis, you need to stop doing it since complaining about health usually makes you look self-centered. David states that this is akin to a disease and has termed it “Excusitis”. When we don’t succeed, we often come up with a variety of excuses and most of them are regarding our health, intelligence, age and luck. David states that it’s important to think positive, dream big and work hard, and when these elements converge, it becomes easier to attain success. The crux of the book concentrates upon the importance of thinking big and self-belief. The book primarily focuses on positive thinking and its power to enhance lives. You can’t control what other people think, but you can control which people you want to be around. Surround yourself with the right people.If you’re easy on yourself life will be hard, but if you’re hard on yourself life will be easy Success is all about having the right habits.

If something is important enough they know it’s up to themselves to change it in their favor The moment you think something is impossible you will – unfortunately – be right. The right way to look at something difficult is to move step by step backwards to realize what needs to be done right now. Everything comes from how we think about the world and ourselves. The reason for this is simple: We don’t think big. The premise of this book is rather that few take decisive action to become successful. We all want to win the lottery – that is wishful thinking. The book stresses that thinking big is not the same as wishful thinking. If anything, this book takes that idea a step or two further. I’ve always found that your reality is what you think about most of the time.
