Think and Grow Rich - free ebook.
I am really absent-minded, we have it since a year, our own edition, with my original, pretty cover [(I am very humble :-0)] and I forgot to tell you about it. This is an evidence that I am not the marketing genius.
We have a free copy of Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich.
Perhaps the most famous self-help book of all time. Certainly amongst the most influential.
If you haven't read it, you really should to. It's yours for the taking for f-r-e-e. Just go here http://revoliton.co.uk and pick it up.
Law of Polarity! by Adam Khoo
I found this text in my emailbox and I thought it is interesting for everybody.
"This is known as the law of polarity.
For every north, there is a south. For every outside, there is an
inside, for every crisis, there is an opportunity and for every
heads, there is a tails. For every concave, there is a convex.
For everything that comes to an end, something new begins.
The meaning we choose to attach to an experience is the meaning we
create. When we interpret an experience as negative or bad, we will
get into a miserable state, take lousy actions (even inaction is a
form of lousy action) and produce negative results.
At the same time, when we interpret an experience as positive, we
get into resourceful states, take positive action, and eventually
create positive results.
This can be summarized in a formula that goes Event + Response =
Outcome. This wonderful formula is given by Jack Canfield
(Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul).
Many people believe that it is the events around us that shape our
outcomes. They believe that people who are happier and more
successful just happen to experience better events in their lives?
You and I both know that this is totally untrue. It is not the
things that happen to us, but rather how we choose to respond to
happenings and external circumstances that ultimately shape our
outcomes.
As you well know, we cannot control every single thing that happens
to us, but we can control how we choose to respond to it.
For example, if you go sailing, you cannot control where the wind
is going to blow. You can complain and blame the wind all you want
but it is not going to be of any use.
However, you can control how you maneuver the sails, and that will
control the outcome of your boat's direction.
We have heard so many stories of people who were born with all
kinds of handicaps and despite all the odds stacked against them,
they managed to create a life most others can only dream about.
What we must understand is that all meaning is context dependant.
In other words, there is no meaning in life except the meaning we
choose to give it.
When we look at things (an experience, an incident, an event) from
one perspective, it may seem totally bad. However, when we change
the way we look at the same thing, i.e. from a different context,
the meaning completely changes.
It could become totally powerful for you.
You can also see that any experience in life carries with it
multiple meanings. Anything is life has the potential to be either
good/positive or bad/negative.
It depends on your perspective, the frame in which you are seeing
it from.
People who succeed and live fulfilling and enriching lives don't
experience better events, they just re-present things and respond
in a much more powerful way."
What do you think about his statement? Is this true or not?
