Overcaution
Some people never will have much as they’re too cautious. You can also be too reckless but you can also be too cautious. This is called the timid approach to life.
Know that it all got risky the minute you were born.
If you think trying is risky wait till they hand you the bill for not trying. If you think investing is risky wait till you get the tab for not investing. It’s all risky – getting married is risky, having children is risky, going into business is risky, investing your money is risky – it’s all risky.
Life is so risky that you’re not going to get out alive – that’s risky!
It’s not important how long you live, what’s important is how you live.
Pessimism
Pessimism the deadly disease of always looking on the bad side, the problem side, the difficult side. Checking all the reasons why it can’t be done. Pessimists lead an ugly life and don’t try to figure out what’s right. They always try to figure out what’s wrong. They doesn’t look for virtue, they looks for faults and when they finds it they are delighted.
Our lives are mostly affected by the way we think things are not the way they are. Poor thinking habits keeps most people poor and not poor working habits. Most people work hard but they don’t think hard. The mind is like a factory, our mental factory and whatever you think about all day long pours ingredients into this mental factory. That’s what builds the economic, social, financial fabric of our life.
“As you think so you become”
Here’s how you build anything – select the right ingredients, keep out the wrong ingredients and it starts with thought. Everything starts with thought so you must be very careful about what you think. You got to be wise and careful. It doesn’t matter who hands you the bad stuff, it doesn’t matter where you get the bad stuff it’ll still do its damage on your bank account wherever you get it.
Stand guard at the door of your mind everyday and you decide what goes into your mental factory. Don’t let anybody just dump anything they want to in your mental factory because you’ve got to live with the results.
Complaining
It is deadly. Indulge in it even slightly and you might as well forget the future, because it’s going to forget you.
