People–as you think yourself to success, that’s what you will study, people. Go deep into your study of success, and you will discover unsuccessful people suffer from a mind-deadening thought disease. We call these disease exquisites. Exclusivism appears in a wide variety of forms, but the worst types of this disease are health exquisites, intelligence exquisites and age exquisites. Now let`s see just how we can protect ourselves from these three common ailments.
Firstly, “Bad” health, in a thousand different forms, is used as an excuse for failing to do what a person wants to do, failing to accept greater responsibilities, failing to make more money, failing to achieve success. The best vaccines against health exquisites consist of these two doses:
Refuse to talk about your health. The more you talk about an ailment, even the common cold, the worse it seems to get. Talking about bad health is like putting fertilizer on weeds. Besides, talking about your health is a bad habit. It bores people. It makes one self-centered and old-maidish. Success-minded people defeat the natural tendency to talk about their “bad” health.
Remind yourself often, “It is better to wear out than rust out”. Life is yours to enjoy. Do not waste it. Do not pass up living by thinking yourself into a hospital bad. Secondly, intelligence exquisites or “I lack brains”, is common. Most of us make two basic errors with respect to intelligence:
We overestimate the other fellow’s brainpower. Because of these errors many people sell themselves short. They fail to tackle challenging situations, because it takes a “brain”.
An easy way to cure intelligence exquisites is: Never underestimate your own intelligence, and never overestimate the intelligence of others. Do not sell yourself short. Concentrate on your assets. Discover your talents. Remember, it is not how many brains you have got that matters. Rather, it is how you use your brains that counts. Manage your brains instead of how worrying about how much IQ you have got.
Thirdly, age exquisites, the failure disease of never being the right age, comes in two easily identifiably forms: The ” I am too old” variety and the ” I am too young” brand. You have heard hundreds of people of all ages explain their mediocre performance in life something like this: “I am too old (or too young) to break in now. I can’t do what I want to do or am capable of doing because of my age handicap”. Really, it is surprising how feel they are “just right” age-wise. And it is unfortunate. This excuse has closed the door of real opportunity to thousands of individuals. They think their age is wrong, so they do not even bother to try. Then, in quick recap, the cure for age positively: Look at your age positively. Think, “I’m still young,” not “I am already old. Practise looking forward to new horizons and gain the enthusiasm and the feel of youth.
