IF YOU THINK; YOU CAN

A self help book of around 200 pages ; 'If you think you can ' by TJ Hosington is a great read;
that interleaves 13 laws with practical steps and real life examples to form a symphony of success. I read it in 6 hours at a  stretch  - but for the nights sleep in between. A simple but powerful motivational read.

The performance laws in the book summarised below :


  • Power of Decisions: If you are unhappy with where you are today ; you CAN DECIDE to change.
  • Demanding the best from yourself : Go from thinking ' It would be nice to have ' to ' I must - I will - I'm committed'
  • Taking time to work on you : If a person will spend 1 hour a day for 5 years on  a  subject ; he is sure to master it.
  • Master your thinking : Change your thinking to focus on the future that we want to achieve than on the limitations of today.
  • Be sure of what you want in life : than settling for generalities
  • Operating from Imagination : Fake it until you make it
  • Action : By taking action when inspiration is strong ; you begin to create momentum. Each action you take will give you continued motivation and a massive desire to keep going.
  • Maintain a Winning Perspective : Gives the energy and drive to press forward in spite of momentary setbacks.
  • Success Team : To get most out of yourself spend your time with positive people.
  • Focus  : Be wise  when spending time and energy in relationships , sports , hobbies ,work and other activities or commitments. They may stand in the way of getting what you really want.
  • Create a sense of urgency : Stop procrastinating
  • Never give up 
  • Live with purpose
