I first heard about the book The Magic of Thinking
Big when I was reading a book by Lou Holtz, the
former college football coach.
He'd just been fired from his job as an assistant
at the University of South Carolina (1966 I think)
and his wife bought him the book as a gift to
lift his spirits.
In the book it recommended to make a list
of all the things he wanted to accomplish in his
life.
So he went about making his list and started
with many of the things we might all list:
::Be a good spouse
::Be a good father
But he also added professional goals like:
::Win a National Championship
::Be national coach of the year
Remember, he'd never even been a head
coach before...
Then he got to his 'fun' goals like:
::Being on the Tonight Show
::Meeting the President
::Jumping out of an airplane
::Running with the bulls
In all, Lou had 108 goals on his list.
He showed it to his wife and she mentioned
he might want to add one more:
::Get a job;)
Make it 109.
Well, at last check Lou Holtz had accomplished
102 of his 109 goals.
He's met Presidents, won championship and
awards...he's jumped out of a plane and been
on the Tonight Show.
Not bad for a guy that was unemployed when
he made the list.
So, when you're mapping out your future
don't be afraid to think big.
Dedicated to your success,
Pat
