THINK, MY FRIENDS, THINK!!!

'A man is what he thinks he is’.
This is a phrase that has been guiding me all my life and will continue to guide me till the Hereafter. Whatever you think about yourself is definitely what you are and not really what other people think. I am not saying that others' thought of you may not be true, but they might not be absolutely correct. This is because we are all different people with different pattern of thought; furthermore no two human minds work alike. Our minds may have the same mechanism for thinking but the outputs are always different. This is one of the mysteries of life.

For instance, the old postman who delivers mails to your household may appear to you as not being Rich and Successful: He earns little. However, in his (the postman) thoughts he is highly Successful and rich: He trained all 3 of his children in University and he is going to complete the payment on his house by next year when he retires. On the other hand, your neighbor who drives a 2009 Mercedes E-Class may appear very Rich and Successful to you, but he does not think so himself: His mortgages are piling up, the stock market plunge has taking a toll on him. So you see! Things may not really be as they appear.

To be successful in life, we MUST have positive thoughts about our future no matter how grim our present situation may appear to others. Also, a man can appear to others to be on the right road to success and riches, but his thinking maybe negative or immaterial; this is definitely not good: the end point will always be mistakes and failure. We should always ensure that we are thinking positively at all times, so that we can not only appear successful to others, but also in our own minds. Come to think of it, at the end of the day when others leave you, it is only your thoughts that will remain with you...
