Taken from a book first published in 1972 titled THE MAGIC OF PSYCHIC POWER by David J Schwartz (One of the first self development books I purchased and ruined by scribbling in the margins! It might have been worth a few quid/dollars!?)
AS A STARTER, COMMIT THESE CONCEPTS TO MEMORY
1. Eighty percent of everything good -happiness, love, money, peace of mind
-is owned by twenty percent or less of the people.
2. The one person in five who has four marbles in five
has no better advantages in terms of intelligence, education, luck, or opportunity. He leads the pack because he controls his psychic power.
3. The multitude of mediocre people commit seven deadly psychic sins. They are
(a) Let other people run their lives
(b) Blame luck for their bad breaks
(c) Underestimate their potential
(d) Surrender to fear instead of conquering it
(e) Fail to set clear goals
(f) Fail to learn how to persuade other people
(g) Think defeat instead of think victory

WHAT EVER YOU DO DON’T BE A LOU ZERR!
Life is tightly rationed. Better start living right NOW!
The Demon of Doubt – he plagues us all. You’ve got to ZAP him as soon as he enters your mind.
The Demon of Doubt
Here’s a few ‘doubt’ quotes to chew on…
“Any belief worth having must survive doubt” (Sorry forgot where I got this from!)
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt” – William Shakespeare
“When you doubt your power, you give power to your doubt” (And this one!)
“What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt – it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.” – Hal Boyle
I was digging around in my archives trying to find some ‘Get Well Soon’ greetings card designs when I came across this one. Still holds up quite well today to say I drew it back in 2003!
REASON # 9 – You worry more about job security,
than how happy you are.
Job security is all in your mind.
How do you know that the company you work for will be around
in a year’s time, let alone ten year’s time? If you dread
waking up on a Monday morning…
– Find a different job, or
– Find a way to supplement your income so that you can leave
and do what you would really love to do.
I went against my wife and family and quit my job, despite
having no savings. I quit to do this. It’s what I want to do
with my life. Period.
Two years ago, I was counting the years to I retired at 60
with a full two-thirds pension. So what changed?
I changed…because the world won’t.
I decided that I couldn’t be unhappy for 40+ hours a week
…I decided that I wanted to see my family grow up…I
decided that I wanted to help my wife more with our
disabled son.
I decided to do what I wanted to do…and not what society
expects me to do. That’s why I wrote my eBook – “The Science of Success”
I had a good career…with a decent salary. But I realised
that we are here to enjoy life…and not to struggle with
life. I have seen enough miserable people who work 70+
hours a week and have a fantastic salary…yet their kids
hardly know them.
It’s your life…and you only get one shot at it.
So you might as well enjoy it!
I hope that this part of the report has shown you
that there are more ways to be a success, other than what
can be measured in monetary terms.
When commissioning cartoons… Pick TWO of the three options!
Good+Fast = Expensive Choose this and I’ll postpone every other project on my drawing board, my round of golf or give up my footy match ticket and work day and night to get your job done. It WILL NOT BE CHEAP though!
Good+Cheap = Slow Choose good and cheap and I’ll still do a great job at a discounted price. But you’ll have to be patient while I fit you in after my higher paying clients, updating my web site, going down the gym, my footy matches, rounds of golf and liquid lunches!
Fast+Cheap = Inferior Choose this option at your peril. It will still be delivered on time but it will be inferior, as many corners as possible will be cut. You know the saying ‘You get what you pay for!’ The least favorable option in my opinion!
