Hello my great reader!!! Welcome back to my blog. On the
previous week, I've already explained the 3rd, 4th and 5th chapters of book
"How successful people think." On this week, I would like to
continue my book review until finished
to the last chapter. It's about six chapters which I will explain on this blog.
Let's check it out!
The Review :
6.
Explore Possibility Thinking
In this chapter, the author reveals that People who embrace possibility thinking are capable of accomplishing tasks that seem impossible because they believe in solutions. In this case, if you open yourself up to the possibility of thinking, you open
yourself up to many other possibilities because the possibility thinking also
gives you the energy to keep thinking positively and optimistically in
broadening your horizons and dreaming of bigger dreams. However, Sometimes you don’t want to
get into positive thinking, that’s OK. Just eliminate all the negative thoughts from your mind, and whatever’s left will be fine. “If you want to
achieve something, give yourself permission to
believe
that it is possible.” When you believe you can do something difficult and it
turns out that you succeed then many doors open for you. Thus, it’s really true: people who believe they can’t, don’t. But if you believe you can, you can! That’s the power of possibility thinking.
7. Learn from Reflective Thinking
Reflective thinking is like the Crock-Pot
of
the mind. It encourages your thoughts to simmer until they’re done. When you reflect, you are able to
put an experience into perspective. You are able to
evaluate its timing and you are able to
gain a new appreciation for things that before went unnoticed. Reflective thinking also encourages you to go back and spend time pondering what you have done and what you have seen so that you can put ideas and experiences into a more accurate context. When you’re going through this
process, your goal is to reflect so that you
might learn from your successes and mistakes, discover what you should try to
repeat, and determine what you should change. It is always a valuable exercise. By mentally visiting past situations,
you can think with greater understanding.
8. Question Popular Thinking
In this chapter, you’ll find many of the ideas in this book go against popular thinking. The problem
with popular thinking is that it doesn’t require you to think at all. Popular thinking sometimes means not thinking
and brings only average results so that popular thinking offers false
hope. It has often proved to be wrong and limiting. Questioning it isn’t necessarily hard, once you cultivate the habit of doing so. The difficulty is in getting started. If you want to become a good thinker, then start preparing yourself for the possibility of becoming unpopular. For becoming unpopular, you must think before you follow. it’s mean that you should consider anything before
you decided to follow that. You shouldn’t be messy. Then you should learn to
appreciate how others think. T o do that, you must continually expose yourself to people different from yourself.
In addition, you must challenge your own thinking by questioning it continually and trying new things
in
new ways.
9. Benefit from Shared Thinking
In this chapter, the author tells
about the comparison between shared thinking and solo thinking. The Author
mentions such beneficial of shared thinking such as shared thinking is faster,
stronger, and more innovative than solo thinking, shared thinking brings more
maturity and returns greater value than solo thinking, etc. Futhermore, shared thinking is the only way to have
great
thinking because through shared thinking we can compare,
integrate and innovate some ideas into a
very great unity of ideas.
10. Practice Unselfish Thinking
In this
chapter, the author reveals that unselfish thinking delivers a return greater than any other kind of thinking because it gives several benefits that will be gotten by someone when they
practiced it. The highest level of unselfish thinking comes when you give of yourself to
another person for that person’s personal development or well-being.
If you can learn to think unselfishly and become a giver, then it becomes easier to develop many other virtues such as gratitude, love, respect, patience, discipline, etc. Futhermore, if you succeed in transferring kindness to
others, you get extraordinary inner satisfaction. With that satisfaction, extraordinary
energy arises to think and do more and more.
11. Rely on Bottom-Line Thinking
This chapter is the
last chapter of the book which I've reviewed. As you explore the concept of
bottom-line thinking, every activity has its own unique bottom line. If you
have a job, your work has a bottom line. When you know your bottom line, it
becomes much easier to know how you’re doing in any given area. It is a compass
to show the direction of your journey so you always think about how to achieve
your goals and targets. It will also prevent you from unnecessary steps.
Bottom-line thinking also makes it possible for you to measure outcomes more
quickly and easily. It gives you a benchmark by which to measure activity. It
can be used as a focused way of ensuring that all your little activities are
purposeful and line up to achieve a larger goal.
That’s all my book review about “how successful people think” and Finally I
am so glad to say it because I could finished my review about all chapters of
this book. I hope it will be usefull for us. Amiin. Thank you for reading my blog. Cheerio!!!!
