Chapters 3&4

“Good thinking will help you change how you interpret a situation”

 

I like this quote because it explains how only thinking itself can play a big role on someone’s actions. If someone has the right-mind is much easier for him to analyze and take proper action. When a person has right-mind, one can do very good in life because right-mind thinking creates a chain of success for everyone. It also helps people in coping much easier with the possible challenges in life.

“The easiest way to start taking action is paying attention”

 

I think it is important for everyone to pay attention to the way people deal with different challenges in life.  Observation of the behavior and the society around us can help us toward achieving our goals and dealing with different issues of our everyday life. When we observe and ask ourselves questions, we see what we need to do and how we best can handle our actions. Thinking and mindsets are vital and they play a crucial role in our actions. Practicing each mindset will give a person better opportunities in finding a job. Employers are eager to find people how show skills in different mindsets such as problem solving, creativity, big picture thinking, analytic etc.

“Work smarter, not harder”

 

This is a quote that is helpful in both school and work. It is important to concentrate on the more important parts of an assignment. In order to achieve better results we have to pay attention on the issues that play a crucial role to the problem. A good example in the book explains that focusing in the most important part of the reading helps a student to better understand and memorize important parts of the chapter. If a chapter has 20 pages there are going to be four or five pages that has the skeleton material of the chapter, and these five pages are going to be important on understanding the whole chapter.
