The Magic of Thinking Big

by David J. Schwartz

that success is determined not so much by the size of one’s brain as it is by the size of one’s thinking.

Every human being wants success. Everybody wants the best this life can deliver. Nobody enjoys crawling, living in mediocrity. No one likes feeling second-class and feeling forced to go that way.

Belief, strong belief, triggers the mind to figure ways and means and how-to. And believing you can succeed makes others place confidence in you.

A person is a product of his own thoughts.

Believe in yourself, and good things do start happening.

Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success. Remember this, too! Big ideas and big plans are often easier—certainly no more difficult—than small ideas and small plans.

Refuse to worry about your health.

Knowledge is power—when you use it constructively.

Never underestimate your own intelligence, and never overestimate the intelligence of others. Don’t sell yourself short.
