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."

Interestingly, this video clip has been recently made from just a single chapter from the classic, Psycho Cybernetics, by Dr Maxwell Maltz.

It's a pretty good refresher. Here's the brisk synopsis:
00:00-Intro
00:30-Book
00:39-What is SUCCESS?
01:03-Sense of Direction
01:57-Understanding
02:44-Courage
03:33-Charity
04:00-Esteem
04:42-Self Confidence
05:27-Self Acceptance
06:13-Outro

SUCCESS to Dr. Maltz is an acronym for:

  • Sense of direction
  • Understanding
  • Courage
  • Charity
  • Esteem
  • Self-Confidence
  • Self-Acceptance

SENSE OF DIRECTION – We as human beings function much like a bicycle. We can maintain poise and equilibrium as long as we are heading forwards. If we do not have a sense of direction (goal) it is difficult to maintain balance and focus. We become shaky in our outcome.
UNDERSTANDING – Understanding depends on good communication. Communication is vital for any guidance system or computer. Your success mechanism will not function appropriately if the information is faulty or misunderstood.
COURAGE – Having a goal and understanding of the situation are not enough. You must have the courage to pursue the goal. You must have to courage to act, for only by actions can goals, desires and beliefs be translated into realities.
CHARITY – It is a psychological fact that our feelings about other people is a reflection on how we feel about ourselves. When a person begins to feel more charitable about others, he invariably begins to feel more charitable toward himself. It’s important that we stop judging, blaming, and hating others for their mistakes.
ESTEEM – Having a low self-esteem is not a virtue, but a vice.
SELF-CONFIDENCE – Confidence is built upon an experience of success. It doesn’t matter how many times you have failed, what matters is the successful attempt that should be remembered, reinforced, and dwelt on.
SELF-ACCEPTANCE – Changing your self-image does not mean changing yourself or improving yourself. What it means is changing your mental conception and realization of that self. Changing you own mental picture, your own estimation, conception and realization of that self.
Enjoy!
