Get the big view of your job. Think, really think your present job is important. That next promotion depends mostly on how you think toward your present job.

Build castles, don't dig graves.

Believe Big. The size of your success is determined by the size of your belief. Think little goals and expect little achievements.

Just enough sense to stick with something-a chore, task, project, until its completed pays off much better than idle intelligence, even if idle intelligence be of genius caliber.

Big thinkers are specialists in creating positive, forward-looking, optimistic pictures in their own minds and in the minds of others.

Remind yourself regularly that you are better than you think you are. Successful people are not superhuman. Success does not require a super-intellect. Nor is there anything mystical about success. And success isn't based on luck. Successful people are just ordinary folks who have developed belief in themselves and what they do. Never...yes, never...sell yourself short.

Persons who reach the higher rungs in business management, selling, engineering, religious work, writing, acting, and in every other pursuit get there by following conscientiously and continuously a plan for self-development and growth.
