Procrastination, the opposite of decision, is a common enemy.

Every person must conquer procrastination!

People who fail to accumulate money, without exception, reach decisions, IF AT ALL, very slowly, and change them quickly and often.

Decisions

•         Reach quickly and be definite

•         Change these decisions SLOWLY

•         A habit of definiteness of decision assumes the proportion of obstinacy.

•         Obstinacy is preferable to slowness in reaching decisions and quickness in changing them.

Opinions are a dime a dozen and are the cheapest commodity on earth and everyone has one!

•         If you are influenced by “opinions” when you reach decisions, you will not succeed in any undertaking.

•         You will not be able to manifest your Desire for money into reality.

•         If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no desire of your own.

•         Unsuccessful people are easily influenced by the “opinions” of others.

•         They permit the newspapers and their “gossiping” neighbors to do their “thinking” for them.

•         Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who will accept them.

Keep Your Own Counsel and Be Very Careful of the Advice of Close Friends and Relatives

•         Reach your own decisions and follow them

•         Take no one into your confidence, except the members of your “Master Mind” group

•         Your “Master Mind” group should include ONLY individuals who are in complete sympathy and harmony with your purpose.

•         They, while not meaning to do so, often handicap you through their “opinions”

•         You may be subject to ridicule, even though it is meant to be humorous.

•         Thousands of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all through life

•         Some well-meaning, but ignorant person destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule.

You Have A Brain And Mind Of Your Own, So Use It

•         Reach your own decisions

•         When you need more information to make good decisions, do so quietly, without disclosing your purpose.

•         People with a little knowledge to try to give the impression that they have much knowledge.

•         Such people generally do too much talking, and too little listening.

Keep Your Eyes And Ears Wide Open And Your Mouth Closed

•         If you wish to acquire the habit of prompt decision, shut up.

•         Those who talk too much do little else.

•         You do not want to deprive yourself of many opportunities to accumulate useful knowledge.

Keep Your Eyes And Ears Wide Open And Your Mouth Closed

•         Do not disclose your PLANS and PURPOSES to people who will take great delight in defeating you, because they envy you.

•         Every time you open your mouth in the presence of a person who has an abundance of knowledge, you show how much or how little you really know.

Genuine Wisdom Is Accompanied by Modesty And Silence

•         If you talk about your plans too freely others may beat you to your goal by putting your plan into action ahead of you.

•         Keep a closed mouth and open ears and eyes.

“Tell The World What You Intend To Do, But First Show It.”

•         “Deeds, and not words, are what count most.”

•         Freedom or death on a decision

•         The value of decisions depends upon your courage to put them into action.

The great decisions were reached by assuming great, life-threatening risks and required courage.

President Lincoln

•         His decision to issue his famous Proclamation of Emancipation turned thousands of friends and political supporters against him.

•         He knew that the proclamation meant death to thousands of men on the battlefield.

•         It cost Lincoln his life.

Socrates Decision Drink Hemlock Took Courage

•         Socrates drank the cup of poison, rather than compromise in his personal belief.

•         This brave act turned Time ahead a thousand years

•         It gave to people then unborn, the right to freedom of thought and of speech.
