Brain Excusits

Two basis errors with respect to intelligence

Underestimate your own brain power.

Overestimate other fellow’s brain power. What really matters is not how much intelligence you have but how you use what you have. Knowledge is power when you use it constructively. Knowledge is only a potential power. It is more important to love your mind to think than to use as a warehouse of facts.

Henry Ford was never interested in miscellaneous information. He knew the ability to know how to get information is more important than using the mind as a garage for facts.

Three ways to Use Intelligence / Brain excusitis.

Concentrate on your assets. Discover your superior talents.

Remind yourself several times a day “My attitudes are more important than my

intelligence”.

Remember that the ability to think is much greater value than the ability to memorize

facts.

Age Excusitis.

“I am too old”, “I am too young”

Cure.

Look at your present age positively.

Compute how much productive time you have left. A person age 30, still has 80% of his productive life ahead of him.

Invest future time in doing what you really want to do.

There is no such thing as true accident. It is result of human or mechanical failure or a combination of both.

Luck Excusitis –

Conquer in two ways.

Accept the law of cause and effect.

Don’t be a wishful thinker.

Build Confidence and destroy fear.

There is no one born with confidence. All confidence is acquired and developed.

Actions cure fear. Indecisions, postponement fertilized fear.

To Build Confidence.

Deposit only positive thoughts in your memory bank.

Withdraw only positive thought from your memory bank.

To Ways to put People in Proper Perspective.

Get a balanced view of other fellow.

Develop an understanding attitude. Think right and Act right. When we go against that

desire we put a cancer in our conscience. That cancer grows. Avoid doing anything that

will cause you to ask yourself “will I get caught” “will they find out” “will I get away with

it”.

 “Motions are the precursors of emotions” We can change our attitudes by changing our

physical actions.

Five Confidence Building Exercises.

Practice making eye contact.

Walk 25 percent faster.

Smile big.
