The Power of Positive Thinking 之 如何建立自信
1.
Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding.
Hold this picture tenaciously.
Never permit it to fade.
Your mind will seek to develop this picture.

never doubt thereality of the mental image.
That is most dangerous,
for the mind always tries tocomplete what it pictures.
So always picture "success" no matter how badly thingsseem to be going at the moment.
