THE MAGIC of thinking BIG

when i was goofing around like always.. eat n run n jump,

dodoong~*effect

i found a book titled "THE MAGIC OF THINKING BIG" written by David J. Schwartz at my auntie house,yesterday

i like non fiction books more than fiction books. and i read them alot too. but this book. is different, maybe it comes to me in a perfect time and situation. which makes it special in some way.

so i sum it up and briefly the book contents are like this.

the power of how you think not intelligence.

-we underestimate our own main brain power

-we overestimate others main brain power

-we underestimate others ability.

i know many of us always heard about being confident, and u can do it. believe in the power of i can do it!
yes thats true.. but to me in this urban era, the number of people who are not confident is decreasing....but there are many people with over confidence out there! like me. over confident is good but just not too over confident my friends. they can kill. ive been murdered a lot.. alot with this attitude. so think about it overconfident fellow out there.

what makes me hate about the education system in malaysia, the traditional people, they tend to look at.. what course does she took, the results, which university. your achievement in study is really matter to them if not, you will look down. no wonder the statistics of students with mental illness is increasing each year. and the exam 100% about books. filled with facts. memorized it. because of test everyone just like in a rat test. but are they going too use it in the future?. they memorized it just for the sake of the exam, not because they like it, they want it.. to me

STUDY SHOULD BE FUN

this book teach me about interest! yes interest. if we have interest, we have passion and enthusiasm.

"Dont chase for success, but chase for excellence, success will come after you...to get excellence you must have to work with passion"- 3 idiots movie.

 really love this movie 3 idiots!

what really matters not how much intelligence u have but how u use what u do have.

a person that is positive,optimistic and cooperative attitude, with an IQ of 100 earn more money, win respects,achieve more success than negative, pessimistic, uncooperative individual, with an IQ 120.

to me results, the achievement doesnt really matters, but the way you think, you yourselves must be knowledgeable. there are a lot of people out there with PHD but still thinking like a diploma student. diploma students thinking like a high schooler. for example in this book:


a guy with Phd in unmentioned programme from New York University.
-intelligent person but
-filled with negative
-always thought he is superior than others
-think people not as smart as him
-always do what he wants without others agreement
he gains no respects from anyone. thats why how you guide your intelligence that really matters.

but what i like the most in this book.
someone asked Einstein "how many feet are in a mile?"
Einstein replied "i dont know. why should i fill my brain with facts i can find in 2 minutes in any standard reference books"

Einstein teach us to use your mind to think than use it as a warehouse for facts. be a thinker not a memorizer. experts cant think, he can only memorize, human encyclopedia. we can buy facts through any books but not problem solver, think up ideas, someone who can make money. 

so i end this post with some dialogues in 3 Idiots movie;

chanchad
-you have 30 seconds to define these terms.

everyone busy search it in books.

*30 seconds pass

-time up, no one got the answer? now rewind your life for a minute. when i asked this question were you excited?curios? thrilled that you'd learn something new?anyone? no.. you all got into frantic race. whats the use of such methods, even if you come first.

will your knowledge increase? no, just the pressure. this is college not a pressure cooker. even a circus lion learned to sit on a chair in the fear of the whip. people didnt call the lion well educated but well trained.

sooo. be positive folks! renung-renungkan~

just think in what ever result you get whether you failed or succeed, remember maybe its all written by Allah for good reasons. however hardship is needed to be excellence
