"Big-picture thinkers are never satisfied with what they already know. They always visit new places, read new books, meet new people, and learn new skills. And because of that practice, they often can connect the unconnected."

"It is hard to overstate the value of changing your thinking. Good thinking can do many things for you: generate revenue, solve problems, and create opportunities. It can take you to a whole new level--personally and professionally. It really can change your life."

-Maxwell John C.

Excerpt From: Maxwell John C. | How Successful People Think | Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

4. Act on Your Good Thoughts
Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date. World War I flying ace Eddie Rickenbacker said it all when he remarked, "I can give you a six-word formula for success. Thinking things through--then follow through."

6. Repeat the process
One good thought does not make a good life. The people who have one good thought and try to ride it for an entire career often end up unhappy or destitute. They are the one-hit wonders, the one-book authors, the one-message speakers, the one-time inventors who spend their life struggling to protect or promote their single idea. Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years. To become someone who can mine a lot of gold, you need to keep repeating the process of good thinking.
