一直向前看 Keep Going

佚名/Anonymous

Every successful person—from Bill Gates to Ted Turner will tell you that they only accomplished their goals because they always believed in themselves. They were not born with self-confdence—Ted Turner is a classic example. He created the belief in himself, never accepting anyone who doubted him. Today he is one of the richest men in the world.

Self-confidence is something you can create and perfect—just like Bill Gates, Ted Turner or anybody else that you consider successful. In fact if you examined the track record of every successful person—you'll fnd that they failed more often than they succeeded. They didn't dwell on their failures. They concentrated on their goals, believed in themselves and pushed ahead.

Recently Kurt Warner was named the National Football League's Most Valuable Player Again!Several years ago nobody wanted him. He was playing in the arena and world football league. He was never even a great quarterback in college and hence—everybody overlooked him. He fnally got his chance three years ago when he was a backup for the Saint Louis Rams. The starting quarterback was gone for the season because of an injury. Kurt Warner stepped in and dazzled fans, the league and his peers as he led the Rams to a Super Bowl Championship. Kurt Warner never gave up on himself. He never stopped believing in himself and kept going. Sure there were many failures along the way to win the Super Bowl—not being drafted out of college is just one of them. But he didn't focus on his failures. He kept his eye on the present and succeeding—always believing he would succeed. And he did!

Successful people are not always successful. But they don't focus on their failures—and this helps create the self-confdence that propels them to greater success. They develop their mind power and feed their subconscious a daily dose of positive thinking that increases their self-esteem and confdence.

Friends, I've traveled a long way from home. I'm a man of Indian descendant, born in Kenya, grew up in Canada and enjoy a successful career in Television News. I have been an anchor, a Programer, a producer, and am always a public speaker. I have talked to thousands of people with ease. I have delivered the news live to millions of people. I could not do any of this if I did not have any self-confdence or did not believe in myself. In fact when I set out to become a journalist some people thought I was crazy. Why?Because no other person of Indian descendant had been on television delivering the news. I was the frst in Canada and the frst in the United States. I could not have done any of this without self-confdence.

I was not born with self-confdence. My mother will tell you thatas a young child I was quite shy and quiet. I remember when I moved to Canada I hardly said anything in school—during my frst year.

My point is that you can create your own self-confidence—by developing your own subconscious mind power. If you seriously want to create self-confdence then you need to change the way your mind focuses on things. You need to teach yourself to create a new way of thinking and develop what I call a success vibration. You need to develop and work with your subconscious mind power.

How many times have you met someone for the first time and just got the sense that they're successful. Or you see someone and they just give off this feeling of success. You've never exchanged a word with them—but you just sense that they are successful. You're picking up what I call a“success vibration.”You can do the same!Yes you can.

从比尔·盖茨到特德·特纳，每个成功者都会告诉你，他们之所以成就非凡，是因为相信自己。他们的自信不是与生俱来的——特德·特纳就是一个经典的例子。他创造了自信，从来不认可任何人对他的怀疑。如今，他成为世界上最富有的人之一。

自信是一种可以由你创造、完善的理念——就像比尔·盖茨、特德·特纳或者任何一位你认为成功的人一样。实际上，如果你观察每位成功人士的成长道路，你就会知道他们失败的次数通常比成功的次数要多。他们不会对自己的失败耿耿于怀，而是把精力集中在自己的目标上，相信自己，继续前进。

最近，库尔特·华纳再次荣获国家橄榄球联盟最有价值球员！几年前，当华纳在国家橄榄球联盟踢球时，根本没有球队想要他。从大学期间到随后的一段时间里，他甚至从来没成为过一名好的四分卫，所以大家都没注意到他。三年前，当华纳在圣路易公羊队做候补队员时，他终于得到了一个机会。主力四分卫因为受伤而不能参加联赛了，库尔特·华纳顶替了他，并一举夺得超级杯赛冠军。球迷们、整个联盟和他的队友们都对华纳大加赞赏。因为库尔特·华纳从来没放弃过自己。他从未气馁，而是一直向前。当然，在赢得超级杯赛的过程中也会经历很多失败——他在大学时未被选中仅仅是其中之一。不过，他不是死盯着自己的失败，而是着眼于现在和成功，一直相信自己会成功。最后，他真的成功了！

成功的人并不能一直成功，但他们不会在意自己的失败——这种经历反而能帮助他们建立自信，推动他们取得更大的成功。他们培养自己的思维能力，每天用积极思维来滋养自己的潜意识，最终增强了自尊和信心。

朋友们，我历尽艰辛从家乡来到这里。我是一名印第安人的后裔，出生在肯尼亚，在加拿大长大，在电视新闻方面有所成就。我以前做过主持人、节目编制人员、制片人，并且一直是公众演讲家。我曾轻车熟路地和成千上万的人谈过话，我曾向成万上亿的人直播过新闻。假如我不自信，我将一无是处。事实上，当我刚刚做记者时，一些人认为我疯了。为什么呢？因为没有一个印第安后裔在电视上播过新闻。在加拿大和美国我都是第一个。没有自信，这些事我一件都做不到。

我不是一出生就自信的。我的妈妈会告诉你，小时候的我十分害羞，也很安静。我记得刚来加拿大的时候，在学校的第一年我几乎从不说话。

我要说的重点是，你可以发展自己潜意识的思维能力来创造你的自信。假如你确实想要创造自信，你需要改变思考问题的方式。你需要教会自己一种全新的思考方法，并且培养成功感应（我的术语）。你需要发展并且使用你的潜意识能力。

有多少次，当你初次见到一个人，你就能感觉到他们很成功。或者你看到一些人，他们正散发着成功感。你从未和他们交流过，可你感觉到了他们的成功。你正在体会我所说的“成功感应”。你可以做到！是的，你可以。

心灵小语
