Dripread - Book

Step C. Read for the future. This third reading is more of a memory feat than it is a reading task. Literally memorize passages that have particular meaning to you. Find ways they can relate to problems you are currently facing. Test new ideas; try them; discard the useless and imprint the useful indelibly on your habit patterns.

Step D. Read ? later ? to refresh your memory, and to rekindle your inspiration. There is a famous story about the salesman who is standing up in front of a sales manager saying: '"Gimme that old sales talk again, I'm getting kinda discouraged." All of us may become discouraged. We should re-read the best of our books at such times to rekindle the fires that got us going in the first place.

We shall list some inspirational, self-help action books (a few are instructional) that can motivate you to desirable action. Each contains hidden treasures that you can discover for yourself.

But before you go over the list and thus complete your first reading of Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, let us once more remind you: share with others apart of what you have that is good and desirable, and awaken the sleeping giant within you. Then this book, Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude, will not be an ending. It will be the beginning of a new era in your life.

Make the ending what you choose.
