How Successful People Think

I recently came across a book from the library and had it borrowed. I was just reading it for pleasure. The title is "How Successful People Think" by John C. Maxwell. The content is excellent as it has a flow of eleven ways we do thinking.

I particularly liked the section on focused thinking. He gave very helpful short and sharp tips on how you can stay focused in systematic steps. Here are the step headers to get you enthused in either buying the book or borrowing it from the public library.

1. Remove distractions
2. Make time for focused thinking
3. Keep items of focus before you
4. Set goals
5. Question your progress

I would urge you to read more details on each of these steps in the book as it simply speaks of me in many aspects which I lack. Example step 3, very often when the items of focus is out of sight, it eventually is out of mind. And setting goals is one big weakness for me.

Another section I will simply put the header here to remind myself too. The question is good for thought and action. What are you giving up to go up?

Four 'I Can't's
1. I Can't Know Everyone
2. I Can't Do Everything
3. I Can't Go Everywhere
4. I Can't Be Well-Rounded

Cultivate this habit of reading for personal development.
