I was drawn in to this book by the cover (I mean look at it, that guy is seriously drawing you in - he knows his shit) but then I read what it can do for me and I knew I would pay any price (including $1.98)it part of my library, how could I afford not to? This book promises to help you:
-think effectively
-make more money
-get profitable ideas
-organize your problems
-solve your problems
-develop your memory
-strengthem your will power

and that's just the cover. The jacket garuntees me 35 other fabulous ways to improve my life, including my favorites:
-ways of developing your creative imagination - so that it really produces.
-Handeling emotions liable to interfer with anyone's success
-The 24 hour method of breakig any habit - no matter how hard
-overcoming the suspicion that others are out to get you

Aside from all the increased Mind Power I will gain from this book I LOVE the font, the graphics, the quotes that start each chapter, the color of the imprint - IT'S AWESOME!

①How to become successful

"Hard work applied properly and intelligently, and thinking in an organized manner, must lead to success.”

Your troubles and problems are yours, my friend, and nobody else really cares. Because they all have problems of their own. Certainly, theirs are more important to them than yours.

And, conversely, nobody's problems are quite so important or imperative to you as your own are.

②"We always have time enough, if we will but use it alright."

Nobody has more time than you have, and nobody has less. No one can inherit time-or keep it in a bank to gather interest.

An hour contains sixty minutes no matter who is using it. And even knowing the "right" people cannot get you more than twenty-four hours per day.

As far as I can see, the only way to save time is to spend it wisely. Which really means investing in it properly.

Invest your time in bettering yourself mentally and physically; in making yourself more skillful in duties and in pleasures-and you're investing it the way you should.

There's an old saying that tells us, "If you want something done quickly, give it to a man who is too busy to do it. He'll find time for it."

Now I think everyone will agree that organization is certainly essential in order to use time properly. Those that have no time for anything are just not organizing well.

③"If you have a goal in mind, do something about it. "

Don't wait too long for the "right" time, either, because that rarely comes. In most cases, the time is now.

Instead of taking valuable time to fret about whether you should do something, worry about how to do it-but do it.

If it doesn't work out right-well, at least it's off your mind, and you can give your attention to something else.

If you keep procrastinating, to paraphrase Cervantes, you're traveling the streets of "by and by" which only lead to the house of "never."

Don't waste too much time worrying or fretting about past mistakes. Once you've made a decision, forget it. Start each day a fresh.

pomazi drugima odnosno misli o drugima da bih izbegao osecaj usamljenosti
postavljaj visoke ciljeve jer oni bude entuzijazam
vezbaj percepciju kroz tri vežbe
zapisi sve stvari koje su u sobi bez gledanja pa uporedjuj spisak
ista vezba samo na ulici sa lokalima
i treca vezba sa liciima
pamcenje imena
ime budi asocijaciju koju povezujemo sa nekom osobinomm lica
mozemo vezbati na slikama iz novina
vezba gledanja u sebe u oci na ogledalu
vezbaj osmeh pred ogledalom
pocni stvari odnoosno izbegava neodlucnost uvek je bolje poceti nesto ne dozvoliti mislima da nadju opravdanje
napravi dobre navike umesto losih navika
zapisuj svoje misli kako bi dosao do resenja
see the pitcure in your head
have big goals
bez predrasuda
misli logicno
unapredjuj svoj vokabular
koristi svoje vestine
citaj biografije poznatih ljudi
vezbaj asociranje ideja
postavlja ideje kako bih aktivirao mastu

pitcure a man in his underwear
ako imas vestinu ljudi ce te tražiti
be truth to your word
ako imas vestinu ljudi ce te tražiti

Informational and interesting!
It is a conglomeration of ideas from all fields of self-help and it's the useful summary that I needed for quite a while.
There would be no point in reading this book, if you don't purposefully integrate this into your life, so if you're just a reader and not a do-er. This book would be a waste of time.
Great book overall, but it lacks a certain clarity on the implementation of the tools that were presented
