Personality - Movie in your head

• Our looks have nothing to do with personality/confidence. Our personality is just a reflection of how we see our self.
• The thing is, our personality is just a movie inside our head and we own the script. If there's something we don't like about our personality, then we need only just make a new script for that particular situation.
• Then read the script every day for 21 days for just 3 minutes. By doing this, we are engraining it in our brain and so, we automatically become who we want to be.

Get things done

• If we want to get something done, then just start off by convincing yourself to do that task for 10 minutes.
• And then we can decide if we want to stop or continue doing the task for an hour or so ( reading ).
• No matter how busy you think you are, you must find time for reading. Or surrender yourself to self chosen ignorance.

Happiness brings success

• If you fail, then celebrate. Because, success does not bring happiness. It's the other way round. Happiness brings success.

Motivation bigger than yourself - Story of Andrew Carnegie

• The most important thing in life is your ability to shed trouble and to laugh through life – your ability to turn ducks into swans. Because “a sunny disposition is worth more than fortune.”
• I have had a long life full of troubles, but there is one curious fact about them – nine tenths of them never happened.’  The truth is that most of the troubles of humanity are imaginary and should be laughed out of court. Don’t cross a bridge until you come to it, and don’t say good morning to the Devil until you meet him. All is well, until something actually goes wrong, and even when it does, nine times out of ten it’s not so bad as you thought it'd be.
• Remember, A wise man is the confirmed optimist. It’s a huge mistake not to seize an opportunity when it’s given to you. If you’re presented with a real opportunity -- whether it's a business deal or the person of your dreams agreeing to go on a date -- act quickly. It's a "flash of lightning". A great business is never built, except on lines of the strictest integrity.
• A reputation for “cuteness” and sharp dealing is fatal in great affairs. Early in his career, Carnegie was given a bonus of $2.50. When he gave the bonus to his parents to help support the family, he said no future success thrilled him like that one and that he couldn’t even imagine one that did. And from this point on, Andrew Carnegie knew he wanted to be rich. But not for himself. He dreamt of his parents being able to ride in a carriage one day, for them to have the good things in life. He not only knew he wanted to be rich, but he had a powerful motivation behind it – a motivation bigger than himself.
• Don’t let your learning lead to knowledge, you’ll become a fool. Let your learning lead to action, you’ll become wealthy. The lesson? Take time to read every day. And whenever you learn something that matters, put it to use as soon as humanly possible.
