Chapter 1 - 4

Chapter 1

“ Believe You Can Succeed and You Will ”

            In the first chapter, as an opening for us to understand how to start Thinking and Thinking Big from the ground, we will be told how. In starting the thoughts of successful or successful people we are obliged to always think positively and always think I am a great person in anything. Because if we think we will not be able to do something, our brain will be ordered to provide data that proves if we bad in this task but if we think we can do a task then our brain will provide solutions to carry out this task that you consider great, because from that our brain needs positive commands from ourselves to prove if we are indeed clever. a way that can train us to think successfully is to think of success, don't think of failure, Remind yourself if yourself is better than you think, believe in success.

Chapter 2

“ Cure Yourself of Excusitis, the Failure Disease ”

In this second chapter we are told about negative thoughts that we often think about and that we use as our reasons for rejecting the opportunities that others give us. This reason often makes us fail at every opportunity given to us.

The reason or the most frequent reason is the health excuse of people who feel they have health that is less fit so their bodies will also respond to the thinking of the brain that thinks if we are not fit and vice versa if we think ourselves healthy then we will be healthy too. The second excuse is the pretext of intelligence or I am not very smart, people often use it as an excuse to make themselves unable to develop because of self-neglect, and consider someone else with this excuse to be cured by not underestimating your brain, remind them that attitude is more important than intelligence, remember if thinking is better than saving facts. The third pretext, which is the pretext of age on this pretext, often says "I am too old / young for this." Even though the ability of developing people to become successful more often at a young age until the age of 70 so do not waste time becoming ordinary people.

Chapter 3

“ Build Confidence and Destroy Fear ”

In this third chapter, we are invited to reflect on yourself when you fail or will face something. You must say to yourself to calm yourself to overcome the fear you have, even though this method makes fear bigger and makes fear appear when you don't think something. Fear can come from shame, lack of trust in one's own abilities but can be eliminated by sitting on the front bench because it makes you more striking and seen by others, making eye contact because we can prove if we are scared, want to lie, with eye contact. hide something and can give a view to other people if you are a great person, walk faster because it makes us seen as important people who have large projects.

Chapter 4

“ How to think big ”

This fourth chapter will tell us how to think big according to the title of this book. In our daily lives we often humble ourselves, which means we don't respect ourselves, if we don't respect ourselves then how can other people respect us if we don't respect them ourselves. Even at the job interview written in this book if there is a question "What salary do you want ?" Most people write a fairly low number and that proves if we humble ourselves because we feel we are less capable of this. In this case what we need is the ability of ourselves to recognize every advantage of ourselves and also to recognize our weaknesses so that we can improve it and develop it as our strengths, after recognizing ourselves better then we will respect and respect ourselves itself. The vocabulary used in everyday conversations is also important because one sentence can make other people's views worse and vice versa can also motivate people to work.

Review Chapter 1 – 4

             Someone is said to be successful if we are able to think of ourself. If he thinks positively and is optimistic about being able to succeed, success will be achieved. But if he / she thinks that he won't succeed, success will stay away from him / her. Optimistic thinking will make someone more confident with what he does. While the pessimistic mind will make someone afraid. Let alone do something, just think of the idea that the person will feel that whatever he / she does will not work.
              We have never been afraid of failure or incompetence. Because if you think about it, your brain will suppress that thought. Failure to do something is something that is sure to happen, for that reason, never be afraid. We only need a way to overcome previous failures. Good by knowing ourselves. Never give up on success. And don't assume we can't. We must be grateful for the failures that have occurred. Because it could be a story of failure and our success can be useful for others, to be taken lessons
