Cultivating The Art Of Thinking Big
Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.
David Joseph Schwartz
I want a big career, a big man, and a big life. You have to think big - that's the only way to get it... I just couldn't stand being anonymous.
Mia Farrow
When I was in grade ten I wanted percentage equals to that of my brother as I had a bet with my dad if I score equals and higher than my intelligent big bro, he’d gift me with 100 freaking dresses.
I don’t remember how I studied?
Probably earning percentage equal to him never even occurred to my mind while I studied….
But when I had my results in front of my eyes
I was holy, freaking, crazily shocked…
The list read 77.78percentage
Yes we were graded according to percentages then.
So even though I never thought or worked accordingly, I might have even settled to something as low as 65 to 70 but I still got freaking, scary 77.78percentage exactly and accurately the same as my big bro.
I learnt something that day…
It’s all about a thought….
So when we get something low, do we need to blame others?
Or the consequences….
I surely won’t.
Some of you are going to disagree, object or even curse me for such a vile conclusion but trust me it is a fact.
Have you ever challenged yourself in your day to day life?
“I will get up at 7:00
I will finish my work at so and so time.
Or simply I doubt if I finish my project on time….
Well scratch that#####
Sometimes in a day have you ever thought ‘I think I’ll meet an old friend today’
And then “BAM” you meet an old friend the same day out of dire circumstances at the place you least expected.
You all of a sudden have the strong desires to chill out and have fun but you know there is no birthday, anniversary or festivities in the cards..
And then “BAM” you go home and you get the news that your first cousin is engaged and she is throwing a party at the weekend.
The magic of a small thought is wondrous.
Well basically it all started with a thought…
The birth of a new innovation, technology, science and all the luxuries be it airplanes, cars, television and not to forget your favorite mobile phones and computers all started with a thought.
It is amazing the difference a thought can provoke in you.
My argument is that if you are thinking about a thing. For eg. Be it a career in law.
You only think about being a successful lawyer earning a respectable amount of income.
Why not make a variation.
