#STEEMGIGS : (Life) - THINK BIG
Good day ya'll
While reading one of Ben Carson's book, I learnt so many things and today I want to share with you guys here. I am certain you will also get something from it.
Many of us today have very shallow minds. We do not create time for creative and critical thinking. Instead of thinking on how to better our lives and the society at large, we rather choose to think on how to harm the other and all sorts of things that do not add value to our lives.
'Thinking Big' entails us seeing ourselves great in the days to come and then working towards achieving that greatness. Drop every shallow thinking. Think positivity and not negativity.
T.H.I.N.K B.I.G
Learn to recognize and accept your God given talents (and we all have them). Develop those talents and use them in the career you choose. Remembering T for talent puts you ahead of the game if you take advantage of what God gives you.
Learn the importance of time. When you are always on time, people can depend on you.
You prove your trustworthiness. Learn not to waste time because time is money and time is effort. Time usage is also a talent. God gives some people the ability to manage time. The rest of us have to learn how . And we can!
Don't go around with a long face expecting something to happen. Anticipate good things; watch for them. Never lose your hope. Keep praying and hoping for the best to come your way. It's your hope of a better day that will keep you going.
When you do anything dishonest, you must do something else dishonest to cover up, and your life becomes hopelessly complex. The same with the telling lies. If you're dishonest, you don't have to remember what you said the last time. Speaking the truth each time makes life amazingly simple. Honesty usually comes with a reward. Be honest and you will get that prize someday.
Listen and learn from people who have already been where you want to go. Benefit from their mistakes instead of repeating them. Read good books like the bible because they open up new world's of understanding.
Be nice to people - all people. If you're nice to people, they'll be nice to you. It takes much less energy to be nice to than it does to be mean.
Being kind, friendly, and helpful takes less energy and relieves much of the pressure. It pays to do good. Being nice and doing good is the only source of true happiness.
Knowledge is the key to independent living, the key to all your dreams, hopes,and aspirations. You need knowledge to flourish in life. Many wallow in poverty simply because they do not have knowlegde. God confirms this. If you are knowledgeable than anybody else in a field, you become invaluable and write your own ticket.
Active learning from reading is better than passive learning such as listening to lectures or watching television. When you read, your mind must work by taking in letters and connecting them to form words. Words make themselves into thoughts and concepts. Developing good reading habits is something like being a champion weight lifter. The champion didn't go into the gym one day and start lifting 500 pounds. He toned his muscles,beginning with lighter weights, always building up,preparing for more. It's the same thing with intellectual feats. We develop our minds by reading, by thinking, by figuring out things for ourselves.
Readers are leaders and leaders are readers. Read books!!
Superficial learners cram for exams but know nothing two weeks later.In-depth learners find that the acquired knowledge becomes part of them. They understand more about themselves and their world. They keep building on prior understanding by pulling on new information. Don't just know things on the surface. Get to know it deeply.
Never get too big for God. Never drop God out of your life. Without God, you cannot achieve anything; all you have is a function of the mighty hand of God. When you put God at the back seat, you are bound to have accidents, but when you give him the steering, you do not have to work about anything.
If you remember these things, if you can learn to think big, nothing on earth will keep you from being successful on whatever you choose to do.
