The Power Of and the Problem With Thinking

by Rick Baker
On Mar 9, 2011
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.
Napoleon Hill, W. Clement Stone
 
Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself, in your way of thinking.
Marcus Aurelius
 
No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking.
Voltaire
 
Clear thinking requires courage rather than intelligence.
Thomas Szasz
 
You must continue to gain expertise, but avoid thinking like an expert.
Denis Waitley
 
A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices.
William James
 
Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning.
Winston Churchill
 
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 
Most of us are consumed with our own thoughts and desires and are not always thinking about what other people may want. This is not necessarily being egocentric; it is just being human.
Bo Bennett
 
The reason why so few people are agreeable in conversation is that each is thinking more about what he intends to say than others are saying.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
 
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
 
Most of one's life is one prolonged effort to prevent oneself thinking.
Aldous Huxley
 
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
Ray Bradbury
 
Our thinking and our behaviour are always in anticipation of a response. It is therefore fear-based.
Deepak Chopra
 
Misery is almost always the result of thinking.
Joseph Joubert

Sales Tweet #168

by Rick Baker
On Mar 9, 2011
Sales Tweet #168 Ernest Seller’s Client, Mr. Kaye, describes Ernest as 'the only anaesthetic that hurts'.
 
The Thinking Behind the Sales Tweet
You remember Mr. Kaye – Ernest’s favourite Client. The way I heard the story, Mr. Kaye dreamed that line a few years ago when Ernest was giving a sales presentation. It happened like this...after 45 minutes or so of some of Ernest's best sales-spiel-stuff Mr. Kaye slowly dropped his head to his desk and dozed off. Ernest didn’t think much about it. He's seen Mr. Kaye do that before. Figures it has something to do with concentrating better. Anyway – that day – after a nice little snooze Mr. Kaye woke up with a new description of Ernest.
