Just wanted to give you guys a whole lot of info. XD totally irrelevant to each other.
Questions
Ask the right question and you will get the right answer. The way your brain evaluates anything is by asking questions. Whenever anything happens in your life, your brain will immediately try to figure it out what the meaning of the event is, and then use that information to determine how you should react. The way in which you find meaning for the events in your life is through asking questions.
You brain will always find the answer to any question you ask it. If you ask yourself “how could I be so stupid?” your brain will find an answer. Probably like “cause you are a big idiot”. Similarly if you ask questions like “what do I need to do to be smart?” your brain will figure out a positive answer.
You don’t find light by studying in the darkness. What I mean is that it is much more useful to ask HOW to get what you want, instead of asking why you got what you didn’t want.
The dumbest question in life is not asking questions.
Personal motivation
Self-motivation is the power that raises you to any level you seek.
If you are truly successful, you gladly accept personal responsibility for self-motivation. You start yourself because you have the key to your own ignition switch.
A common reason for human failure is total disregard for the power of self-motivation.
It is impossible to motivate someone else until you’ve learnt to motivation yourself.
Opportunities are everywhere for one who understands and uses self-motivation.
Self-motivated people make commitments, ordinary people make promises.
Ultimately, the question of what we get out of life depends on how well we match what we want with self-motivation.
The power of personal motivation comes from a definite, personalized plan of action and the application of that plan every day of your life.
Before you can move upward toward pre-determined success, you must trigger your own motive power.
Never to discover your own power and your potential is to be mentally bedridden all your life.
Modeling
The recipe for success is that you should model after successful people. Life is a lot like a chocolate cake. You can either make it through trial and error or you can follow a recipe. Whatever dream you have, chances are someone is already living it. Modeling allows you to duplicated the results of someone who has already succeeded, the best way to model someone is to spend at much time as possible with them. Most successful people are happy to help someone else learn how to do what they are good at, especially if the person is young.
When you are modeling someone, your aim is to find out as much as possible about him or her. You want to understand why they are so successful. You can do this by asking them specific questions about how they do what they do.
As you model people, you want to understand their model of the world. What do they believe? What language do they use? What mental/ emotional state they are in? What physiology are they in? What are their rules? What drives them? What do they value?
Work out exactly how their minds work and then practice doing exactly the same.
