看到優點，自我鞭策；
看到缺點，自我反省。

The Law of Attraction
The law of attraction is a law of nature, it is as impartial as the law of gravity.
Nothing can come into your experience unless you summon it through persistent thoughts. To know what you're thinking, ask yourself how you are feeling. Emotions are valuable tools that instantly tell us what we are thingking. It is impossible to feel bad and at the same time have good thoughts.
Your thoughts determine your frequency, and your feelings tell you immdiately what frequency you are on. When you feel bad, you are on the frequency of drawing more bad things. When you feel good, you are powerfully attracting more good things to you.
Secret Shifters, such as pleasant memories, nature, or your favorite music, can change your feelings and shift your frequency in an instant. The feeling of love is the highest frequency you can emit. The greater the love you feel and emit, the greater the power you are harnesing.

Power of Attraction...
What you resist, you attract, because you are powerfully focused on it with emotion. To change anything, go within and emit a new signal with your thoughts and feelings.

Perfect State of Health
You can see that beliefs about aging are all in our minds. Science explains that we have a brand new body in a very short time. Aging is limited thinking, so release those shoughts from your consciousness and know that your body is only month old, no matter how many birthdays you have chalked up in your mind.
For your next birthday, do yourself a favor and celebrate it as your first birthday! Don't cover your cake with sixty candles, unless you want to summon aging to you. Undortunately, Western society has become fixated on age, and in reality there is no such thing.
You can think your way to the perfect state of health, the perfect body, the perfect weight, and eternal youth. You can bring it into being, through your consistent thinking of perfection.

Relationship
To make a relationship work, focus on what you appreciate about the others person, and not your complaints. When you focus on the strengths, you will get more of them.

Love Yourself
"Undoubtedly to some, the idea of giving so much love to self will seem very cold, hard and unmerciful. Till this matte may be seen in a different light, when we find that 'looking out for Number One', as directed by the Infinite, is really looking out for Number Two and is indeed the only way to permanently benefit Number Two"

The Power of Expectation
Expectation is a poweful attractive force. Expect the things you want, and don't expect the things you don't want.

Gratitude 3
Gratitude is a powerful process for shifting your energy and bringing more of what you want into your life.
Be grateful for what you already have, and you will attract more good things to come into your life.
Phoenix Airport, Arizona
Giving thanks in Advance
Giving thanks for what you want in advance turbo-charges your desires and sends a more powerful signal out into the Universe.

Make it a Habit
To use the law of attraction to your advantage, make it a habitual way of being, not just a one-time event.
Phoenix Airport, Arizona
The way that you wanted ...
At the end of every day, before you go to sleep, go back through the events of the day. Any events or moments that were not what you wanted, replay them in your mind the way you wanted them to go.

Live a clean and Honest life
The satisfaction and emotional peace that comes from living an honest life is hard to rival. Lies, on the other hand, poison your good intentions and prevent you from living a clean and free life. Lies also cause you to feel guilty, and guilt festers.
Living in the shadow of these burdens causes severe physical and emotional stress. Always tell the truth even when it is difficult to do so. Living with lies is highly self-destructive and will prevent you from ever being deeply happy.
Charlotte Airport, North Carolina
FAITH
Faith can be a supporting pillar of happiness. But too often people try an d force themselves to have faith because their family, fiends, or community leaders push them into it.
To truly be a person of faith, avoid approaching faith from a place of guilt. Instead of thinking "I should believe this because my religion says I have to," make your faith personal.
don't believe in something simply because someone else does or tells you to. Decide for yourself the things that you believe and stay true to them.

Recognize racism is a sickness you alone cannot cure.
For all of the different races, ethnicities, and religions, the sad truth exists that there are many people who hate blindly. If you are the victim of a racist or otherwise hateful act, do not blame yourself for someone else's sickness.
Think instead of what historian Pierre Berton said of racism: "Racism is a refuge for the ignorant. It seeks to divide and to destroy. It is the enemy of freedom, and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out."
counteract the racist and hateful acts you witness by becoming a splkesperson for peace, tolerance, and love.

Forgive & Forget
Oscar Wilde once wrote, "Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them." Indeed, too many of us walk through life resenting our parents for the mistakes they made.
But as adults, we must realize that children do not come with an instruction manual. Odds are your parents did the best job they could in the era in which they lived and with the resources available to them. Blaming your parents for your shortcomings will not help you overcome them. Instead, find solace in the good family memories you do have.

Be Yourself...
Be yourself, not what other people expect you to be.
Each of us is a member of some race, gender, ethnicity, religion, or other group. Such membership offers solidarity and a sense of identity, but it can also come with an expectation to be like everyone else in that group.
Do not be afraid to maintain your individuality by rejecting what does not match up with who you are. Similarly, do not feel pressure to be an ambassador for your race, gender, ethnicity, or religion.
Demand that others treat you as an individual an dot the same for them.

Own your flaws
Each of us has something we cannot change. Instead of letting that quality defeat you, present it as something that makes you unique and special. For example, you may feel frustrated that you are shorter than you would like to be. There is little you can do to increase your height, but you can change the way you carry yourself.
Make platform shoes you signature fashion piece; speak loudly and clearly in order to be seen as a person of stature and importance. You will be much happier once you own your size, shape, and abilities with pride instead of trying to be someone different.
Trinidad & Tobago, Caribbean
Turn your Limitation into your Greatest Strength
An empowering way to become happy with who you are is to turn you limitation into a skill, asset, or trademark.
Famous examples of those who turned their limitations into strangths include the famous cyclist Lance Armstrong who became an advocate for cancer research after he survived testicular cancer. Similarly, actor Michael J. Fox, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, has worked tirelessly to bring attention to the disease. In doing so, he has become a household name synonymous with strength, courage, and perseverance.
Become a leader in your community and show others that you limitation is also you greatest STRENGTH.

Stylize Your Crutch.
The actress Anna Lee once said, "They see me wheeling around in a beautiful gown, and they realize you can look elegant, and you can lead a happy life in a wheelchair." Instead of being embarrassed of the tools you rely on to get through life, work them into your personality.
If you wear glasses, choose a pair that suits your face. If you use a weelchair to get around, add flair to your chair. If you walk with a cane, choose a beautifully carved one, or add a funny knob that reflects your personality. Just because you use a crutch does not mean it must be dull or embarrassing.

Don't just survive: Thrive!
People face more horrors in life than can be imagined. Every day, men, women, and children survive abuse, disaster, catastrophe, violence, sickness, and loss. Being traumatized after any upsetting event is natural and to be expecte. But living through a tragedy is also a feat worth celebrating.
Those who overcome a tragedy yet continue to live in survival mode limit their ability to truly live. Therefore, it is important to come away from tragedy by celebrating the fact that you are alive. You will never be able to undo the event the traumatized you, but you can spend the rest of your life not merely surviving, but thriving.
LA, California
Focus on what you have..
Complaining about things that are out of your control and cannot be changed is counterproductive. Rather than dwelling on what you lack or cannot do, focus on what you can do.
Highlighting your abilities will enable you to see a way forward, whereas "I can't statements force you to focus on obstacles. As the American poet James Whitcomb Riley onece quipped, "It is no use to grumble and complain; it's just as cheap and easy to rejoice. When God sorts out he weather and sends rain - Why, rain's my choice."
When you cannot change something, highlight the part of you that can move forward.

Think Positively
How much energy do you waste dwelling on your flaws? Take note how many times you think. "I hate _____ about myself." You will likely be surprised at how often you single out your most undesirable qualities. Instead of living in a constant state of remorse about things you cannot change, try modifying the messages you tell yourself. Start by thinking, "If I can't change this, I'm going to embrace it." Instead of fighting your flaws, accept them as part and parcel of who you are.

Visualization 3
If you are visualizing all of the time and nothing is happening, it means that you are overriding your intention in some other powerful way that you are not aware of.
What are you thinking? What words are you speaking? What actions are you taking? If you're not sure, ask the law of attraction to show you where you are overriding your intention, and it will be shown to you clearly.
Los Angeles, California
Live Your Life to the Fullest
There is no doubt that when using the law of attraction for the good of everyone, you are connecting yourself to great power. However, law is also available to you individually so that you may live your life to the fullest. When you live your life to the fullest you have so much more to give others.
Your pain and misery does not help the world. But your joy and your life lived fully uplifts the world.

True Giving from Nature...
Take a moment to think about all that nature gives to you every single day so that you can live. And yet nature never asks for anything in return.
That is true giving.

常思己過，莫論人非.
靜坐常思己過，閒談莫論人非，
能受苦乃為志士，肯吃虧不是癡人，
敬君子方顯有德，怕小人不算無能，
退一步天高地闊，讓三分心平氣和，
欲進步需思退步，若著手先慮放手，
如得意不宜重往，凡做事應有餘步。

THE SECRET
"Whatever the mind...can conceive it can achieve."
W. Clement Stone (1902-2002)
The Secret was a real transformation for me, because I grew up with a very negative father who thought that rich people were people that had ripped everyone off and thought that anyone that had money must have deceived somebody. So I grew up with a lot of beliefs about money; that if you had it, it made you bad, only evil people have money, and money doesn't grow on trees. "Who do you think I am, Rockefeller?" That was one of his favorite phrases, so I grew up truly believing that life was difficult. it was only when I met W. Clement Stone that I began to shift my life.
When I was working with Stone he said, "I want you to set a goal that's so big that if you achieved it, it would blow your mind, and you would know it's only because of what I've taught you that you would have achieved this goal." At the time I was making about eight thousand dollars a year, so I said, "I want to make a hundred thousand dollars in a year." Now, I had no idea how I could do that. I saw no strategy, no possibility, but I just said, "I'm going to declare that, I'm going to believe it, I'm going to act as if it's true, and release it." So I did that.
One of the things he taught me was every day to close your eyes and visualize the goals as if it's already achieved, I had actually made a hundred-thousand-dollar bill that I'd put on the ceiling. so first thing in the morning I'd look up and there it was, and it would remind me that this was my intention. Then I would close my eyes and visualize having this hundred-thousand-dollar-a-year lifestyle. Interestingly enough, nothing major happened for about thirty days. I didn't have any great breakthrough ideas, no one was offering me more money.
About four weeks into it, I had a hundred-thousand-dollar idea. It just came right into my head. I had a book I had written, and I said, "If I can sell four hundred thousand copies of my book at a quarter each, that'd be a hundred thousand dollars." Now, the book was there, but I never had this thought. (One of the secrets is that whwn you have an inspired thought, you have to trust it and act on it.) I didn't know how I was going to sell four hundred thousand copies.
Then I saw the National Enquirer at the supermarket. I had seen that millions of times and it was just background, And all of a sudden it jumped out at me as foreground. I thought, "If readers knew about my book, certainly four hundred thousand people would go out and buy it."
About six weeks later I gave a talk at Hunter College in New York to six hundred teachers, and afterward a woman approached me and said, "That was a great talk. I want to interview you, Let me give you my card." As it turns out, she was freelance writer who sold her stories to National Enquirer. The theme from "The twilight Zone" went off in my head, like, whoah, this stuff's really working. That article came out and our book sales started to take off.
The point I want to make is that I was attracting into my life all these different events, including this person. To make a long story short, I did not make a hundred thousand dollars that year. We made ninety-two thousand three hundred and twenty-seven dollars. But do you think we were depressed and saying, "This doesn't work?" No, we were saying, "This is amazing!" so my wife said to me, "If it works for a hundred thousand, do you think it'd work for a million?" And I said, "I don't know, I think so, Let's try it."
My publisher wrote me a royalty check for our fist Chicken Soup for the Soul book. And he actually put a smiley face in his signature, because it was the first million-dollar check he'd ever written. So I know from my own experience, because I wanted to test it. Does this Secret really work? We put it to the test, It absolutely worked, and now I live my life from that every single day.

11 things will not learn in school
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality.
This concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1 : Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2 : The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3 : You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4 : If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5 : Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: th ey called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's gen erat ion, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few empl oyers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Self Development

Absence
There is no force of hate. Hate is simply the absence of love, just as darkness is the absence of light. Poverty is the absence of abundance, sickness is the absence of health, and sadness is the absence of joy. All negaivity is simply the absence of something positive.
This is very, very good to know.

黑幼龍 並非無知，只是知而未行
ㄧ九二五年，芝加哥白水灘飯店（White WATER Beach Hotel）舉行了一場重要的會議，與會者都是各行各業的頂尖人物，包括全美最大鋼鐵公司總經理、最大電力公司總經理、最大瓦斯公司總經理、紐約證券交易所總經理、聯邦政府部長、華爾街響叮噹的投資高手、最大交通運輸公司總經理、國際商銀總經理。
這些人都很會賺錢，這次聚會的目的，也正是討論如何創造更多財富。
這些人後來過得如何呢？或許你跟我一樣好奇。
二十五年後，果真有人興致勃勃地作調查，結果驚訝地發現：
鋼鐵公司總經理去世前五年是借債度日的；
電力公司總經理一文不名地死在外國的小島上；
瓦斯公司 總經理成了精神病患者；
紐約證券交易所總經理剛從辛辛監獄關出來；
聯邦政府部長剛得到美國總統特赦，總算能死在家裡；
華爾街投資高手和交通運輸公司總經理、國際商業銀行總經理都自殺了！
十個頂尖人物，竟沒有一個人能得善終。
他們為什麼把自己的人生搞得一團糟？
我並不確知詳情，卻很感慨，會賺錢的人，不一定會生活；
工作能力強的，不一定懂得克服情緒壓力；
絕頂聰明的優等生，不一定能夠自我調適。
在台灣有多少這樣的人？
努力賺钱、衝刺事業、用功讀書，
卻因為不懂得如何克服緊張、壓力、焦慮、憂愁，
所有的付出，到最後是一場空，
只換來失去健康、失去平靜、失去快樂。
活得這麼辛苦，究竟是為什麼？
只要願意，其實每個人都能把自己從不幸、痛苦的深淵解救出來，
快樂絕對可以操之在我，端視你如何面對、處理發生在自己身上的事。
記得三年前，我和十幾個美國卡內基講師一起到蒙大拿滑雪。
很巧地，有兩位講師的妻子都是才剛過世不久，
其中一人，沿途都鬱鬱寡歡，
另一人卻是活潑開朗? A玩得比誰都盡興，
而大家都知道，他與妻子向來十分恩愛。
我感觸很深，類似的境遇發生在不同人身上，反應也截然不同。
這讓我想起一段印象非常深刻的電影情節。
冰天雪地中，女主角在凍結的湖上快樂盡情的溜冰，
坐在湖畔重病已久的丈夫，凝視著心愛的妻子，安然闔上雙眼。
接下來的日子一片忙亂，親友們前來幫忙喪偶的女主角，
照顧小嬰兒、安排生活、處理瑣事……
女主角的姊姊心疼妹妹的遭遇，悲傷流淚，但女主角反而微笑安慰姊姊說：
「我曾經擁有一段美麗的時光，這已足夠！」 看到這一幕，我不由自主流下淚
來。
當時我就想，萬一有一天，我遭遇重大的災難痛苦，也要告訴自己：
「我曾經快樂充實地生活過，這就夠了。」
我深深確信，人真的可以改變想法，來克服憂慮、恐懼、甚至各種病痛，
進而改變人生。
生活需要平衡發展，建立良好的人際互動，
特別是相互激勵，相互瞭解，相互分享，相互原諒。
學會感恩、寬恕，活在每一個當下，
以正向積極的人生態度，微笑迎接命運給我們的每一個挑戰。
事實上，你我都不需要再學什麼新觀念，
我們所認知的已足夠引導我們享受快樂的人生。
我們並非無知，只是知而未行。
這本書絕非來自象牙塔的教條，也不是學院派的研究報告，
而是一本實際的書，幫助、提醒我們，知而能行。
相信我，你一定可以做到。
當你遭遇困境，不知所措時，與其焦慮，
不如試試魔術方程式的三個步驟，和解決煩惱問題的三個原則，
你將發現事情沒那麼糟，總有改善最壞狀況的方法。
如果情勢真的無法挽回，那麼就接受它！
已經盡力就夠了，其他的交給上蒼吧！
相信我，你真的可以做到 。當你不小心又跌入憂煩時，
與其惱怨命運的不公平，不如盤算你所得到的恩惠，
你將發現自己原來是很有福氣的。
俗話說：「人人頭上一片天，歹歹馬，也會一步踢。」
再貧弱的人，也有自己的強項，
振作起來，去忙一些建設性的事，茁壯自我，
你就會愈來愈幸運，愈來愈有福氣。
相信我，你一定可以做到。
不心存報復，不斤斤計較得失，不期待他人的感恩，
只享受付出的快樂，並在為人創造喜悅的同時，豐富自己的人生。
相信我，只要你開始行動，美好的結果，已在前方， 等待豐收。

Focus like a Magnigying Glass
When you are beginning to create intentionally, it is often better to focus on one thing at a time. With practice you will have great power to harness your energy, and then you will be able to focus on many things at the one time.
Imagine your mind as a magnifying glass with the sun shining through it. As you hold the magnifying glass steady in one place, you will create a fire. There is no difference between a magnifying glass and the sun, and your mind and the Universe.
Los Angeles, California
Visualization (in movement)
The key to visualization is to keep the picture moving in your mind, and yourself moving in the picture. If you keep the picture moving like a movie, you can master visualization really quickly. If the picture is static it is a lot harder to hold the picture in your mind.
Keep your visualization busy with lots of movement, and your mind will become so captivated it will not be able to think of anything else.

無中生有
有甲乙互為朋友，平時交情很好，偶爾也會相偕去旅行。有一天，他們相邀外出旅行。走到半路時，甲覺得肚子很餓、想吃點東西。但是，環顧四周都沒有看到任何店家。此時乙就想：「我現在如果能撿到一塊麵包，不知道該有多好啊！」
於是，他便向甲說：「我現在如果撿到一塊熱騰騰的麵包，你認為我應該要如何處理呢？」甲就說：「你應該分一半給我啊！」乙說：「我撿到的東西就是我的，為什麼要分一半給你？」甲又說：「怎麼可以這樣呢？我們一起出來旅行，你撿到東西，當然要分一半給我啊！」
乙說：「怎麼有這麼貪心的人？硬要拿別人撿到的東西。」甲回說：「怎麼有這麼小氣的人？我們同行，你撿到東西不肯與人分享，這樣跟貓狗又有何差別呢？」乙很生氣地說：「喂！你怎麼可以罵人？」甲說：「你這麼寒酸，罵你已經算是很便宜你了。」兩人愈罵愈氣，最後竟扭打在地上。
這時，正好有一位路人經過。他看見他們扭打成一團，就一面勸架，一面問他們原因。他們還邊打邊回答，其中乙就說：「我撿到東西，他叫我要分給他。世間哪有這麼便宜的事？」這位路人一邊勸架，一邊跟他們說：「有話好說，你們先冷靜下來！」他想將他們拉開，結果三人竟扭打成一片。
那位路人好不容易才將他們勸開，問：「你們到底在吵什麼？說出來聽聽，我來為你們主持公道。」兩人便將整個情形說給那位路人聽。那位路人聽了之後，說：「你們把那塊麵包拿來讓我看看到底有多大，我再主持公道。」
那時，這兩人都愣住了！他們隨即醒悟過來，對於自己竟然為了「不存在的東西」而傷害友誼的行為，感到羞愧不已！
人若心存貪念、妄想，往往會為自己帶來一些「無中生有」的煩惱和災難。所以，我們應該要循規蹈矩、面對現實。世間沒有不勞而獲的事，一切都要靠自己的努力與付 出，這樣才能獲得真正安穩的人生。
