THINKING LIKE A GENIUS

Make every thought, every fact, that comes into your mind pay you a profit. Make it work and produce for you. Think of things not as they are but as they might be. Don’t merely dream but create!

—Maxwell Maltz



NOTE: 

  1. Make every thought of everything that comes into our mind pay us profits

  2. Make it serve us well

  3. Think of it as it might be, not as it is

  4. Don’t just dream our ideal life, make it come true


We are potential geniuses. Our amazing brains have more than 18 billion cells, each one of which is connected to and interlinked with as many as 20,000 others. This means that the number of possible thoughts we can think is greater than all the molecules in the known universe.


We have the capacity to learn at incredible rates and to retain more information than We can even imagine. It is said that “when an educated person dies, it is as if a library burned down.” This potential library is contained between our  eyes and our ears.


THE ORIGINS OF WEALTH


From the past, value has been contained only in hard assets. And that is why wars and revolutions have been waged or fought over their control of these significant resources. The primary creators of value were those people who could combine these various resources together to produce products and services for the marketplace.


However, we have seen dramatically change take place extremely fast. In the decade of the 1900s, 50 percent of the American population lived on farms raising food for the other 50 percent who lived in towns and cities. Today, less than 3 percent of the population lives on farms, and they produce not only enough food for all Americans, but huge surpluses as well that are exported or even given away to the entire world.


We have moved from the agricultural age to the industrial age to the service age to the information age, and we are now entering the communication age. The primary source of value today is not land, labor, or other hard assets, but soft assets like computer or electronic devices literate knowledge workers. Such people have been able to monetize their application of concepts or ideas, techniques or methods, and proven principles in their daily life for both success and achievement


NOTE:

THEN: 50% of Farmers   50% City People 

NOW: 3% of Farmers 97% City People   


Plus be exported to the world

  1. From The Agricultural Age To The Industrial Age

  2. From The Industrial Age To The Service Age

  3. From The Service Age To The Info Age

  4. From The Information Age To The Communication Age


Social Media: Twitter; Facebook; YouTube; Google and other platforms


The greatest wealth we could possibly possess is between our eyes and our ears. we can create an unlimited future for ourselves by tapping into our brain power and channeling it, like a powerful current, to energize our life and get us anything we really want.


TRUE WEALTH TODAY


The richest American today, and perhaps the richest person in the world, is Bill Gates. The net worth of his company, Microsoft, is greater than the net worth of IBM, which has been in business many years longer. Microsoft is based entirely on brainpower, spiritual or mental. It creates wealth by making it easier to process information digitally within computers, and from computer to computer by phone lines, internet optic cables, wireless systems, and satellites.


If we own a company, our chief assets walk out the door every night at quitting time. Our building could burn to the ground, but as long as our people got out safely, we could walk across the street and start our business again. The chief assets of any organization, and of any individual, are contained in the ability to think and to apply that thinking to getting results that other people will pay for. The ability to create wealth is determined by mental strength rather than physical strength.


STARTING CAPITAL


In generations past, it may have taken many years for a person to accumulate enough capital to start and build a successful business in manufacturing or services. Today, such a large investment in physical assets can actually be a liability. A change in technology on the other side of the world can render a $100 million manufacturing plant obsolete in a few months.


But what we have between our ears and our eyes can be invaluable. It is capable of countless applications and uses. It is completely portable. It is versatile. It is flexible, and can be increased almost without limits, if we learn how.


An immigrant could arrive at a U.S. airport with the ability to create a billion dollar industry in his head. He could walk up to customs; open his hands and say, “Nothing to declare;” and walk on through. His assets are all in his knowledge and skill. Many of the most successful and respected entrepreneurs and businesspeople in America arrived this way.
