Think Big, The Trump Way to Success

I just back from Kuching recently and I got a pleasant gift from Raymond. He bought me a book by Mr Donald Trump, "THINK BIG". I love the title very much and very much associated to my current business. In return to say thanks to Raymond is to finish reading the entire book and i just finished in record time, 2 days. It is my own record time and i found that human can do whatever they want if they are focus and committed to do it.
Well, here are some points that i would like to share with you all that i learn from this book:

1) Getting rich is tough, and people get hurt. You have to be as tough as nails and willing to kick as if you want to win.

2) Passion towards your job. Don't think about how you can make money. Instead think about what you can produce or what service you can offer that is valuable and useful to people and to your community.

3) Your word is golden, shaking hands with someone means you are making a deal

4)Develop your gut instinct and act on them. You will have your biggest successes when you go with your gut. Nobody knows everything.

5) Create your own luck. Luck does not come often enough. So when it does, be sure to take full advantage of it, even if it means working very hard. When luck is on your side it is not the time to be modest or timid. It is the time to go for the biggest success you can possibly achieve. That is the true meaning of thinking big.

6) Get the best people to work for you and don't trust him. If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.

7) If you are worried about being liked, you are in trouble. It is more important to be respected and feared than to be liked by employees.

8) Give people to opportunity to excel. Do not be too hard when they make mistakes; everyone makes mistakes. Always be willing to give someone who wants to do better a second chance.

9) In life, you have failures, and there is really nothing wrong with that, but when you have a failure, try not to blame other people.

10) Keep up with the momentum that you have created. To get momentum, you must first focus on a specific goal with passion and intensity. Your problem can be temporary if you keep your momentum moving forward. Again, it is all in how you look at things and how you define your situation.

11) Sometimes things happen that make you question whether you should keep going. As long as you are enjoying what you are doing and are making progress, keep going.

12) Don't let your eye off the ball. Things cannot and will not continue downward forever; they will always turn around. Think about all the good things you are going to do in life. Keep focused on your goal and never give up. Besides, bad times bring great opportunities.

13) Your road to the top will have a great number of detours, changes in direction, twists and turns. Expect an exciting, adventorous ride on your way to the top. It is interesting, it is fun, and it is definitely not predictable!

14) Adopt a big attitude to go with your big thinking. Everything you do in life, do with attitude. You are what you think you are. Ditch your doubts as it leads to failure.

15) Be choosy about your friends. Only hang out with people who truly want you to be successful
