Key Features:
- How Successful People Think: Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life was written by the world-renowned author, John C Maxwell, who trained more than 5 million leaders in the world.
- Lesson 1: Look for learning opportunities in your schedule each day. Before you begin your day, look at all appointments on your calendar, and think about which ones will be the biggest learning opportunities. By preparing for the most important events each day, you remain open to finding new ways of doing things, changing direction, and be reminded that there’s more to life than your little, 24-h plan.
- Lesson 2: The easiest way to practice creative thinking is to come up with more options for a decision. Every time you make a decision, you have to engage in creative thinking. Even adding just one more option to your roster of possible choices is a creative act.
- Lesson 3: Imagine you found your own obituary in tomorrow’s newspaper. What would it say about how you treated others?
Many young people don’t read newspapers anymore, but just imagine opening tomorrow’s edition of your local tabloid only to find an article titled "The merchant of death is dead” in the obituary section – and it’s about you. That’s what happened to Alfred Nobel, a famous Swedish inventor in the late 1800s. The reporter had confused him with his brother, thus writing about how the inventor of dynamite had finally been ‘blown away.’
Faced with the ugly truth about how people would remember him if he died soon, Nobel decided to do something a little more, well, noble. In his will, he postulated that over 90% of his vast fortune be used to award prizes to the brightest minds in several scientific, literary, and academic fields. That’s how the Nobel Prize was born.
