Why a full scale discussion on the magic of Thinking Big? Thousands of books will be published this year. Why one more? Permit me to give you just a little background. Several years ago, I witnessed an exceptionally impressive sales meeting. The vice president charge of the marketing for this company was tremendously excited. He wanted to drive home a point he had with him on the platform. The leading representatives of the organization, a very ordinary looking fellow who earned just a little under 60,000 year. The earnings of other representatives averaged around 12,000. The executives challenged the group. Here's what he said. I want you to take a good look at Harry. Look at him now. What's Harry got that the rest of you? Haven't Harry earned five times the average, but as Harry, five times smarter? No, not according to our personnel test. I check. They show he's just about average in that department. And did Harry work five times harder than you fellas? No, not according to our reports. In fact, he took more time, often to most of you. Did Harry have a better territory again? I've got to say no. The accounts averaged about the same. Did Harry have more education? Better health again? No, Harry is about his average, as the average guy could be, except for one thing. The difference between Harry and the rest of you, said the vice president. The difference is that Harry thought five times bigger. Then the executive proceeded to show that success is determined not by the size of one's brain as it is by the size of one's thinking. This was an intriguing thought and stayed with me. The more I observe, the more people I talk with, the deeper I dug into what's really behind success. The clear was the answer. Case. History after case history proved that the size of bank accounts, the size of happiness accounts and the size of one's General satisfaction account is depending on the size of one's thinking. There is magic and thinking big. If thinking big accomplishes so much, why doesn't everyone think that way? I've been asked that question many times here. I believe is the answer All of us want. What we recognize are the products of thinking around us, and much of the stinking is little, not big. All around you is an environment that is trying to tug you trying to pull you down to second class Street. You're almost told daily that there are too many chiefs and not enough Indians. In other words, that opportunities leads to no longer exists that there is a surplus achieves, so be content with being a little guy. But this too many chiefs idea just doesn't simply square with the truth. Leading people in all occupations will tell you, as they told me, But the trouble is, there's too many Indians and not nearly enough chiefs. This petty petty environment says other things, too. It tells you whatever will be will be that your destiny is outside of your control. That fate is in complete control. So forget those dreams. Forget that fighting at home. Forget that special college for the Children. Forget the better life. He resigned, lie down and wait to die, and who hasn't heard the statement. Success isn't worth the price, as if you have to sell your soul your family, your life, your conscience, your set of values to reach the top. But in truth, success doesn't demand the price. Every step forward pays a dividend. This environment also tells us that there's too much competition for the top spots in life. But is there a personal selection executive told me that he receives 250 times as many job applications for jobs that pay 10,000 per year. As for jobs that pay 50,000 year, this is to say that there's at least 50 times as much competition for jobs on second class Street than for jobs on first class Avenue First class Avenue USA is a short, uncrowded street. There are countless vacancies waiting for people like you who dare to think big.
