We may be flat broke now. Many people are. The United States faces major economic challenges and none of our leaders have figured out how to handle the challenges posed by globalism. But, we are resilient and we will come back. We will come back by learning more, doing more, becoming more capable, and pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. But, to succeed, we'll have to think carefully and do the right things.
To learn more, it's important to seek out new ideas and learn from everyone especially thought leaders. I recently bought a book called How Successful People Think by John C. Maxwell. The book proposes focused, intentional, thinking. Basically, people should make the time to think systematically about things and ideas. It's a powerfully simple concept. But, Maxwell breaks down the ways to think about something very usefully and provides some ideas about the benefits you should expect from thinking in a certain way. Maxwell addresses big picture thinking, focused thinking, creative thinking, realistic thinking, strategic thinking, possibility thinking, reflective thinking, popular thinking, shared thinking, unselfish thinking, and bottom-line thinking. When you learn how to think in these different ways, you will be adding a powerful tool to your success arsenal. This was an interesting book to pick up at my local grocery store, it will definitely nourish your brain. Check out this and other books by John C. Maxwell:
