Your thoughts determine whether your thoughts are positive or negative.

Once, a soldier galloped on horseback and sent a letter to Napoleon. Because the horse ran too fast, it fell violently before reaching its destination, and the horse died. After Napoleon received the letter, he immediately wrote a reply and gave it to the soldier to get on the horse and send it away as soon as possible.

When the soldier saw that the strong horse was beautifully decorated, he said to Napoleon, "A beautiful and strong horse is not worthy of an inferior soldier like me." Napoleon replied, "There is nothing in the world that French soldiers don't deserve."

There are such French soldiers everywhere in life. They think that their status is too low to have all kinds of happiness that others have. It is precisely because of this psychology that they tend to be self-satisfied and mediocre, and gradually they really don't deserve what they will never have.

Think of yourself as a successful person.

Your thoughts determine whether your thoughts are positive or negative. Command your thoughts, control your emotions and control your destiny with a positive attitude.

Seeing yourself as a successful image is helpful to break the habit of self-doubt and self-failure, which is gradually formed under a certain personality and after several years of negative mentality. Another reason is equally important. It can help you change your world.

Now let's look at Ilvain Ben Cooper, one of the most respected judges in the United States. But this image is very different from Cooper's image of inferiority when he was young.

Irfan Ben Cooper is the most respected judge in the United States. He bravely overcame his childhood inferiority complex and achieved success. Cooper grew up in a quasi-slum in St. Joseph, Missouri. His father is an immigrant, making a living as a tailor with a meager income. In order to keep warm at home, Cooper often carries a coal bucket to the nearby railway to pick up briquettes. Cooper was embarrassed. He had to do it. He often slips out of the back street to avoid being seen by the school children.

However, those children often see him, and a group of children often ambush Cooper on his way home from the railway and attack him for fun. They often scattered his coal all over the street, making him cry all the time when he came home. Cooper always lived in a state of fear and inferiority at this time.

One thing has happened, and this kind of event that breaks the failed lifestyle will always happen. Cooper was inspired by a book, so he took positive actions in his life. This book is Horatio Alger's Struggle for Robert. In this book, Cooper read a story about the struggle of a teenager like him. The boy suffered great misfortune, but he finally became a brave man. Cooper also hopes to have this kind of courage and strength.

Cooper read as many books as possible that Horatio borrowed. While reading, he entered the leading role. He sat in the cold kitchen all winter reading stories of courage and success, and unconsciously formed a positive attitude.

A few months after Cooper finished reading Horatio's first book, he went to the railway to pick up briquettes. Not far away, he saw three figures flying behind a house. His first thought was to turn and run away, but he soon remembered the brave spirit of the hero in the book he admired, so he held the coal bucket tighter and strode forward as if he were a hero in Horatio's book.

A fierce battle happened, and three boys rushed to Cooper together. Cooper threw away the iron bucket and stubbornly waved his arm to resist, which surprised three bullied children. Cooper's right hand slammed a child's lips and nose, and his left hand slammed the child's stomach. The child turned and ran, which also surprised Cooper. Meanwhile, two other children punched and kicked him. Cooper managed to push one child away, knock down another, hit him with his knee, and hit him wildly in the stomach and chin. Now there is only one child left. He is the leader. He suddenly attacked Cooper on the head. Cooper managed to gain a foothold and dragged him aside. The two children stood there and stared at each other for a while. Suddenly, the leader retreated bit by bit and slipped away. Cooper picked up the coal and threw it at the deserter, which may be a sign of indignation.

Cooper knew that his nose was bleeding and his whole body was black and blue because of being punched and kicked. It's worth it! This day was an important day in Cooper's life, and he overcame his fear from then on.

Cooper is not much stronger than a year ago, and his attacker is not as strong as before. The only difference is Cooper's own mentality. He had no fear, and he decided not to be at the mercy of those bullies. From then on, he will change his world.

The child imagined an image for himself. When he beat up the three bullies in the street, he was not fighting as a frightened and malnourished Cooper, but as a brave and fearless hero.

Another successful skill that is particularly important and can change your world is to imagine yourself as an image that can inspire you to make the right decision, such as a slogan, a picture, or any symbol that means something to you. Just like Cooper did, let you compare the images of successful people. Who do you choose?

A confident person is the closest to success.

We don't need to show our confidence to others all the time, but always show our hopes and worries. Our fame and other people's comments on us will be closely related to our success. If others don't believe us, if others think that we are incompetent and timid because we often show lack of self-confidence and negative weakness, then we will not be able to gain the trust and support of others and succeed.

If we form the habit of firm self-confidence, people will think that we will succeed more easily than those who lack self-confidence or give people the impression of weakness, inferiority and timidity.

Almost everyone knows Hilton, a high-end hotel with chain stores all over the world. But did you know that its founder, Hilton, the king of hotels in the world, started his business with only $200? Then you may ask what makes him so successful, and all the answers are only two words "confidence".

When Hilton started her business, she turned her attention to the hotel industry. But he has little start-up capital, but his strong self-confidence makes him feel that he will succeed. So he lobbied around with his confident words and deeds, hoping that bankers and venture capitalists could inject funds into his project. Finally, under the influence of Hilton's strong self-confidence and the feasibility of his project itself, many financiers made investments.

With funds as the foundation, the project will start soon. But in the middle of the hotel construction, an investor became suspicious of Hilton because he listened to the rumor and clamored for withdrawal. Anyone with a little financial knowledge knows that if someone suddenly withdraws his capital at this time, it is likely to cause an avalanche-like chain reaction. When the situation is bad, all investors may make such a request. Because a large amount of money had been invested at that time, Hilton was unable to repay in full, and insolvency was likely to be prosecuted.

In the face of this sudden change, the confident Hilton is as calm as ever. He prepared a lot of cash and checks in advance, then invited investors who were clamoring for withdrawal, and then asked him frankly: Do you want cash or checks? When people saw Hilton's drawers full of cash and checks, they were still unmoved. Hilton said to him: "When you leave, if you still insist on withdrawing your investment, you can choose a cash check." Undoubtedly, Hilton's confident words played a certain role. The man doesn't talk about returning to the investment for the time being, watching him stabilize the other party's mood. Then, Hilton pursued the victory, but did not directly refute his decision to let him withdraw. Instead, he rationally analyzed for him: "Look, the project has started now. If it is carried out as planned, you will definitely get the due return on investment. However, if you announce your withdrawal from your investment at this time, then you will not only get any income, but also have to pay compensation for breach of contract, which is even more unworthy. " That person was finally infected by Hilton's self-confidence and optimism, and decided to continue to invest. The hotel construction went smoothly, and Hilton's career began to flourish.

Self-confidence can infect people around you and bring more achievements and wealth. If you are a leader or initiator, your self-confidence will directly affect the confidence of subordinates and followers, especially at critical moments, you should show your self-confidence and calmness. If you have lost confidence yourself, others will be more flustered and at a loss.
