CHAPTER 16: THE DEVIL'S WORKSHOP (the Seventh Basic Evil)

- In addition to the Six Basic Fears, there is another evil by which people suffer: SUSCEPTIBILITY TO NEGATIVE INFLUENCES.

- HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST NEGATIVE INFLUENCES: keep your mind closed against all people who depress or discourage you in any way.

- Deliberately seek the company of people who influence you to THINK AND ACT FOR YOURSELF. the most common weakness of all human beings is the habit of leaving their minds open to the negative influence of other people.

- Mind control is the result of self-discipline and habit. You either control your mind or it controls you. There is no hallway compromise. The most practical of all methods for controlling the mind is the habit of keeping it busy with a definite purpose, backed by a definite plan.

- "The first and best victory is to conquer self. To be conquered by self is, of all things, the most shameful and vile”.

- "Life is a checkerboard, and the player opposite you is TIME. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate INDECISION!"

- The Master Key is intangible, but it is powerful! It is the privilege of creating, in your own mind, a BURNING DESIRE for a definite form of riches.

Well, it is pretty easy to let the nay sayers get you down.
I must have read Think and Grow Rich about thirty years ago, guess I didn't think hard enough.
Interesting idea for a blog though.
