Review Chapter 6-10 from book entitled Goals!

Assalamualaikum wr.wb

Hello guys welcome back to my blog for review inspirational book entitled Goals! . As we know , in the previous post i have shared review from chapter 1-5 , now i want to share my personal review from chapter 6-10 . And here we go :

Chapter 6 is tell about Decide Upon Your Major Definite Purpose :

Since you become what you think about most of the time, a major definite purpose gives you a focus for every waking moment. As Peter Drucker said, “Whenever you find something getting done, you find a monomaniac with a mission.”
The more you think about your major definite purpose, and how to achieve it, the more you activate the Law of Attraction in your
life. You begin to attract to you people, opportunities, ideas and resources that help you to move more rapidly toward your goal, and move your goal more rapidly toward you. By the Law of Correspondence, your outer world of experience will correspond and harmonize with your inner world of goals.

Chapter 7 is telling about Analyze Your Beliefs :

Perhaps the most important of all mental laws is the Law of Belief. This law says that, whatever you believe, with conviction, becomes your reality. You do not believe what you see; you see what you already believe. You actually view your world through a lens of beliefs, attitudes, prejudices and preconceived notions. “You are not
what you think you are, but what you think, you are.” In the Old Testament, it says, “As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” This means that, you always act on the outside based on your innermost beliefs and convictions about yourself.

Chapter 8 is telling about Start at the Beginning :

Imagine that you were going to take a long trip across the country. The first thing you would do would be to choose your
destination and then get a road map to determine the very best way to get there. Each day, before you started out, you would locate yourself on a map relative to where you are and where you plan to go in the hours ahead. Life is very much the same.

Chapter 9 is telling about Measure Your Progress :

You have incredible mental powers that you habitually fail to use to their full extent. By systematically setting goals for your life and making detailed plans to achieve them, you will save yourself years of hard work in reaching the same level of success. Goal setting enables you to use vastly more of your thinking powers than the
average person. Your conscious mind is the “head office” of your life. Its role is to deal with the information in your environment and then to identify, analyze, compare it against other information and then to decide what actions to take.

Chapter 10 is telling about Eliminate the Roadblocks :

The fact is that successful people fail far more often than unsuccessful people. Successful people try more things, fall down, pick themselves up and try again, over and over again before they win through. Unsuccessful people try a few things, if they try at all, and very soon quit and go back to what they were doing before.

Finally , i think from that review we can get some motivation for improve our own personality, it is hoped that after we know what we have to do we can realize it in our daily lives.

Review chapter 1-5 from book entittled Goals!

Title : Goals! (How to Get Everything You Want — Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible ).
By: Brian Tracy
Pages : 432
Chapter : 21            

Hello guys! In this opportunity i would like to review book entitled Goals! (How to Get Everything You Want — Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible ) by Brian Tracy , and i want to review this book chapter by chapter . There is 21 chapter in this book , and i will review 5 chapter every post.
                        
First chapter is about "Unlock Your Potential" , it is important for the readers because if the readers get the point from this tittle , the readers can know the deepest potential of them , and in this book the writter said that :

“The potential of the average person is like a huge ocean unsailed, a
new continent unexplored, a world of possibilities waiting to be released and
channeled toward some great good.”

It's means your ability to set goals is the master skill of success. Goals unlock your positive mind and release ideas and energy for goal attainment. Without goals, you simply drift and flow on the currents of life. With goals, you fly like an arrow, straight and true to your target.

And second chapter tell about "Take Charge Of Your Life".

“A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with – a man is
what he makes of himself.” (Alexander Graham Bell)

The writter tell a story when he was 21, he was broke and living in a small one-room apartment, in the middle of a very cold winter, working on a construction job during the day. He usually couldn’t afford to go out of his apartment in the evenings, where at least it was warm, so he had a lot of time to think. One night as he sat there at my small kitchen table, he had a great flash of awareness. It changed my life. He suddenly realized that everything that happened to me for the rest of his life was going to be up to me. No one else was ever going to help him. No one was coming to the rescue. He was thousands of miles from home with no intentions of going back for a long time. He saw clearly at that moment that if anything in his life were going to change, it would have to begin with me. If he didn’t change, nothing else would change. He wasr esponsible.

After that in third chapter "Create Your Own Future"

“You will become large as your controlling desire; or as great as your dominant aspiration.” (James Allen)

In more than 3300 studies of leaders conducted over the years, there is a special quality that stands out, one quality that all great leaders have in common. It is the quality of vision. Leaders have vision. Non-leaders do not. Earlier I said that the most important discovery in all of human history is that, “You become what you think about — most of the time.” What is it then that leaders think about, most of the time? And the answer is that leaders think about the future and where they are going, and what they can do to get there. Non-leaders, on the other hand, think about the present, and the pleasures and problems of the moment. They think and worry about the past, and what has happened that cannot be changed.

Next in fourth chapter tell about "Clarify Your Values"

“One universe made up of all that is: and one God in it all, and one
principle of being, and one law, the reason shared by all thinking creatures,
and one truth.” (Marcus Aurelius)

One of the most important characteristics of leaders, and top people in every area of life, is that they know who they are, what they believe in and what they stand for. Average people are usually confused about their goals, values and ideals, and as a result, they go back and forth and accomplish very little. Men and women who become leaders, on the other hand, with the same or even fewer abilities and opportunities, go onto accomplish great things in whatever they attempt. Life is lived from the inside out. The very core of your personality is your values. Your values are what make you the person you are. Everything you do on the outside is dictated and determined by your values on the inside, whether clear or fuzzy. The greater
clarity you have regarding your values on the inside, the more precise and effective will be your actions on the outside.

Furthermore in fifth chapter Determine Your True Goals.

“Realize what you really want. It stops you from chasing butterflies
and puts you to work digging gold.” (William Moulton Marsden)

My favorite word in goal setting, and in success in general, is the word “Clarity.” There is a direct relationship between the level of clarity you have about who you are and what you want, and virtually everything you accomplish in life. Superior men and women invest the time necessary to develop absolute clarity about themselves and what they really want, like designing a detailed blueprint for a building, before they begin construction. Average people just throw themselves at life, like a dog chasing a passing car, and wonder why they never seem to catch anything, or keep anything worthwhile. Henry David Thoreau once wrote, “Have you built your castles in the air? Good. That is where they should be built. Now, go to work and build foundations under them.”

Thanks for your great attention , and see you again in the next posting .

Review a book entitled (The Last Lecture)

Assalamualaikum wr.wb

Firstly , i want to say hamdalah because on this day i can finish my project in post intermediate reading lesson , and you need to know that this is my fifth , in this post i will  give some experience or knowledge after i read a novel , and you can see below what kinds of novel which i read  , check this out :

Tittle : The Last Lecture

Author : Randy Pausch (Professor, Carnigie Mellon)

Page : 224 

Synopsis : 

This book is the true story of the author, Randy Pausch, a lecturer in Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University, who gave the last lecture in his life. This is related to the diagnosis of advanced stage pancreatic cancer that he obtained, which according to medical predictions only leaves 3-6 months of healthy time in the world. A sad story that drains tears? Not at all. Because, as the author revealed at the beginning of his narrative, "It's not about dying — it is about living."

From the lecture entitled "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dream", this book was written, complete with stories about its preparation, as well as the accompanying emotions. Intended disguised on the three young children, the last lecture was intended to motivate and guide them in living their lives. The biggest point he emphasized in it was optimism and courage to dream - because of the dream of all achievements starting. Of course not only dared to dream, but also dared to work hard and face all obstacles. Randy also revealed various dreams through fragments of his childhood stories. Also the long journey he took to make it happen. With his inspirational upbringing, Randy the dreamer grew up to be a young man who likes to work hard, always be optimistic, and really appreciate time. From his father he also learned to understand that being the greatest hard worker in the world was more meaningful than being elitist behind a mediocre desk. This principle was held by him since he studied, became an outstanding lecturer, until later it also became imageneer at Disney World — one of his childhood dreams that came true.

Although motivating someone to be brave enough to face all obstacles, Randy's last lecture was not negligent in talking about failure. Failure after all struggles still contribute something valuable, namely experience. More than that, success and failure are the end result, and the long process towards the end result is the most important. Or in other words, the struggle to achieve life's goals is one big thing. But behind it is hidden another bigger thing, which is how to live life itself.

And it's all the point which i get from that book , i think it can motivate us to be more courageous and optimistic in living a life that sometimes is not in accordance with our wishes .
