5."Success begins with belief and ends with doubt."-Larina KaseI remember reading through a book and the author was writing about being a reverse paranoid(偏执狂).In that particular section he mentions how he has a belief that the world he's living in is out to give him everything he absolutely wants and desires.
There are times when I think to myself,"Wow,the world is out to get me and make me miserable."Then I thought,why can't I believe that the world is out to make me a better conversationalist.Then I started adapting to the belief of the reverse paranoia.
When I started talking to people,I truly believed that I was the most interesting person in the room.I believed that everything I said added value to the conversation.I believed that people stayed behind and chatted with me because they found me charismatic.
As a matter of fact,for about five months I wrote down on my bathroom mirror the following affirmation(确定肯定的事):"People love me and respect me.It is an honor to talk to me.People find me interesting and charming and always want to get to know me better!"
I would say the affirmation after I brushed my teeth.And I would continue to say it until I felt completely great about myself.There were days that I just wouldn't feel like saying it,because it would feel like a lie to me.But that's the trouble,like the quote says,success ends when there's doubt.And that's why I continued until I had no doubt in my mind.
Then strange things happened,I noticed that people did find me more interesting,and that I gained more confidence in talking with people.I was more assertive(坚定自信的) at work.I was able to control politics and gossip at work to minimal levels,and became a much better manager,and developed better customer relations to the point that sales were up by 20% compared to the year before,on my best month sales were up by 39%,and this was a year that a recession was happening.
