Welcome to Litsy!

Honestly, I've decided to read this entire book every single Monday. It's full of straight forward things that you need to know and do if you want to reach somewhere, and ofcourse you do. Brian Tracy has simply stated important facts that we must consider to live that dream.

Allhamdulillah completed 2nd book of the year. Thank you Allah and Thank you universe.

Your greatest responsibil-

ities are to dream big dreams, decide exactly what you

want, make a plan to achieve it, practice the strategies

taught in this book, take action every single day in the

direction of your dreams and goals, and resolve to

never, never, never give up. When you take these ac-

tions, you put yourself on the side of the angels. You

become unstoppable and your success becomes inevitable.

Epictetus, a Greek philosopher, once wrote, “Cir-
cumstances do not make the man. They merely
reveal him to himself.”

The one inevitability in your life is recurring cris

Ralph
Waldo Emerson wrote, “Make a habit throughout
your life of doing the things you fear. If you do the

thing you fear, the death of fear is certain.”

“If you want to be successful faster, you must double your

rate of failure. Success lies on the far side of failure.” (Thomas J. Watson

Sr., the founder of IBM,)

The third key to long life is proper exercise. This

requires that you engage in vigorous physical activity

approximately 200 minutes per week or an average

of 30 minutes per day. You can get all the exercise

you need by going for a brisk 30-to-60-minute walk

three to five days per week.

The second key is proper diet, and the key to a

proper diet is to eat better foods and fewer of them.

Eat more lean proteins, fruits, and vegetables. Elimi-

nate desserts, soft drinks, candy, and anything else

containing sugar from your life. Stop consuming extra

salt and stop eating white flour products. Eat smaller

portions and eat four or five times a day rather than

three large meals.

There is a five-word formula

for weight loss and physical fitness. It is simply this:

“Eat less and exercise more.”

Be a “go-giver” rather than a

go-getter. Always look for ways to put in before you

start thinking of ways to take out.

If you
want to fly with the eagles, you cannot scratch with
the turkeys.

You are like a chameleon in that you take on the

attitudes, behaviors, values, and beliefs of the people

with whom you associate most of the time. If you

want to be a successful person, associate with posi-

tive people. Associate with people who are optimistic
and happy and who have goals and who are moving
forward in their lives. At the same time, get away
from negative, critical, complaining people.

FULLY 85% of your success and happiness in

life is going to be determined by the quality of the re-
lationships that you develop in your personal and your business activities. More than 90 percent of your success will be determined by your “reference group.” Your reference
group is defined as the people with whom you habitually identify and pass the time.

And remember, creativity is

just another word for “improvement.” Every time you

come up with an idea to improve some part of your

work, to find newer, better, faster, cheaper, or easier

ways to accomplish a result, you are functioning at the

highest level of creativity.

Your creativity is stimulated by three factors: first,

intensely desired goals; second, pressing problems;

and third, focused questions. The more you focus your

mind on achieving your goals, solving your problems,

or answering the tough questions about your business

and personal life, the smarter you become and the

better your mind works for you in the future.

Your brain, your creativity, is like a muscle. The stronger it becomes.

Discipline weighs ounces & failure weighs tons (Jim Rohn)

When your boss or your customers ask you to do

something, drop everything else and do it so fast that

they are amazed. You have heard it said that “When-

ever you want to get something done, give it to a busy
person.” People who have a reputation for moving
quickly attract more opportunities and possibilities to
them. They get more chances to do more and more
things faster than other people.

Your job is to develop a reputation for speed. De-

velop a “sense of urgency.” Develop a bias for action.

Move fast on opportunities. Move fast when people

want or need something. Move quickly when you see
something that needs to be done.

Your ability to determine your highest priority and

then to work on that high priority until it is completed
is the primary test and measure of your willpower,
self-discipline, and personal character. It is the hardest
habit to develop but also the most important if you
want to be a big success.

Here is the formula. Make a list of everything you

have to do before you begin working toward any goal.

Remember that your word is your
bond and your honor is everything when it comes to

business.

The first key to integrity is to be true to yourself,

in all things. Be true to the very best that is in you.

Being true to yourself means doing what you do in an

excellent fashion. Integrity is demonstrated internally

by personal honesty and externally by quality work.

Your success in life will be in direct proportion

to what you do after you do what you are expected

to do.

RESOLVE TODAY THAT you are going to save and invest
at least 10% of your income throughout your

working life. Take 10% of your income off the

top of your paycheck each time you receive one and

put it into a special account for financial accumula-

tion. The fact is that if you save just $100 per month & you invest that money in an average mutual fund that grows@10% per annum, you'll be worth more than 1 million dollars by the time you retire.

or her car 500 to 1,000 hours per year. This is the

equivalent of 12 to 24 forty-hour weeks, or as much as

three to six months of working time that you spend in

your car. This is the equivalent of one to two full-time

semesters at a university.
