Imagination

I call that man idle who might be better employed.
-Socrates

Imagination is the workshop of the human mind, wherein old ideas and established facts may be reassembles into new combinations and put to new uses.

Imagination can be developed
The imagination is both interpretative and creative in nature. It can examine facts, concept, and ideas, and it can create new combinations and plan out of these.

Imagination is too often regarded as nothing more than fanciful dreams, but t is a tremendous practical, exciting tool.

Others may deprive you of your wealth and cheat you in a thousand ways, but no one can deprive you of the control and use of your imagination. Others may deal with your unfairly, but they cannot take from you the privilege of using your imagination as you wish.

The man who slanders his fellowman unwittingly uncovers the real nature of his inner self.

The power of imagination
The major problems with this world today lies in our lack of understanding of the power of imagination, if we understood this great power we could use it as a weapon which to wipe out poverty, misery, injustice, and persecution, and this could be done in a single generation.

Put imagination to work

Towering genius disdains a beaten path. It seeks regions hitherto unexplored.
-Abraham Lincoln

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
-Eleanor Roosevelt

Learning from adversity

 If they knew that every form of defeat, and all failures, bring them the seed of unborn opportunity, they would keep on fighting and win. Success usually is but one short step beyond the point where on quits fighting. Failure is a man made circumstance. It is never real until it has been accepted by man as permanent. Failure is a state of mind; Therefore, it is something an individual can control until he neglects to exercise this privilege. Failure brings a climax in which one has the privilege of clearing his mind of fear and making a new start in another direction. Failure proves conclusively that something is wrong with one's aims or the plans by which the object of these aims is sought. Failure is the dead end of the habit-path one has been following, and when it is reached it forces one to leave that path and take up another, Thereby creating a new rhythm. It gives an individual an opportunity to test himself wherein he may learn how much will power he possesses. Failure als...
 All great leaders in every walk of life are highly sexed, but they follow the habit of controlling their sex desires, switching them into a driving force behind their occupation. The person who has self discipline understands the emotion of sex, respects it, and learns to control and transmute it into contructive activities. Q: Just what damage is there in over-indulgence of sex? A: The greatest damage is that it depletes the source of man's greatest driving force, and wastes, without adequate compensation, man's creative energy. Controlled sex supplies the magnetic force that attracts people to one another. It is the most important factor of a pleasing personality. It gives quality to the tone of voice and enables one to convey through the voice any feeling desired. It serves, as nothing else can serve, to give motive power to one's desires. It keeps the nervous system changed with the energy needed to carry on the work of maintaining the body. It sharpens the imagination...

THE SUCCESS HABIT

“Success is simple. Do what’ s right, the right way, at the right time.”  —Arnold H. Glasow The choice we face is whether or not we want to form habits that get us what we want from life. If we do, then the Focusing Question is the most powerful success habit we can have. Whenever the outcome absolutely matters, I ask it. I ask it when I wake up and start my day. I ask it when I get to work, and again when I get home. What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? And when I know the answer, I continue to ask it until I can see the connections and all my dominoes are lined up. Obviously, you can drive yourself nuts analyzing every little aspect of everything you might do. I don’t do that, and you shouldn’t either. Start with the big stuff and see where it takes you. Over time, you’ll develop your own sense of when to use the big picture question and when to use the small-focus question. The Focusing Question is the found...
