FROM DILIP MUKERJEA

"Genius is in-born, may it never be still-born."

"Oysters, irritated by grains of sand, give birth to pearls. Brains, irritated by curiosity, give birth to ideas."

"Brainpower is the bridge to the future; it is what transports you from wishful thinking to willful doing."

"Unless you keep learning & growing, the status quo has no status."

As I process to understand the essence of the graphic image as appended below, I am instantly reminded of several astute observations made by Dr Maxwell Maltz of the Psycho-Cybernetics fame:

"Your most important sale in life is to sell yourself to yourself."

“The self-image sets the boundaries of individual accomplishment. It defines what you can and cannot do. Expand the self-image and you expand the “area of the possible.” The development of an adequate, realistic self-image will seem to imbue the individual with new capabilities, new talents, and literally turn failure into success.”

“You act, and feel, not according to what things are really like, but according to the image your mind holds of what they are like. 

"You have certain mental images of yourself, your world, and the people around you, and you behave as though these images were the truth, the reality, rather than the things they represent.”

To really ‘live,’ that is to find life reasonably satisfying, you must have an adequate and realistic self-image that you can life with. You must find yourself acceptable to ‘you.’” 

Begin to imagine what the desirable outcome would be like. Go over these mental pictures and delineate details and refinements. Play them over and over to yourself.

"Our self-image and our habits tend to go together. Change one and you will automatically change the other... When we consciously and deliberately develop new and better habits, our self-image tends to outgrow the old habits and grow into the new pattern."
