Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (1898–1993) was a minister and author (most notably of The Power of Positive Thinking) and a progenitor of the theory of "positive thinking".

Peale was born in Bowersville, Ohio. He graduated from Bellefontaine High School, Bellefontaine, Ohio. He has earned degrees at Ohio Wesleyan University (where he became a brother of the Fraternity of Phi Gamma Delta) and Boston University School of Theology.

Raised as a Methodist and ordained as a Methodist minister in 1922, Peale changed his religious affiliation to the Reformed Church in America in 1932 and began a 52-year tenure as pastor of Marble Collegiate Church in Manhattan. During that time the church's membership grew from 600 to over 5000, and he became one of New York City's most famous preachers.

I want to read right now.

Reading is a wonderful activity that can transport us to different worlds, expand our knowledge, and ignite our imagination.

It allows us to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse ourselves in the pages of a good book.

Whether it's a thrilling mystery, a heartwarming romance, or an informative non-fiction piece, there is always a book out there waiting to be discovered.

When we read, we not only gain new perspectives but also improve our language skills and vocabulary.

So, whenever I have the urge to read, I make sure to take some time for myself and pick up a book.

It's a great way to relax, unwind, and feed my mind.

I highly recommend it to everyone.

I actually finished this classic earlier this year, and I truly loved it.

What is truly remarkable about it is how timeless the advice within it is. It has had a profound impact on me.

I have been using the wisdom from this classic to re-set my commitment to manners. I strive to always be polite and respectful in my interactions with others.

Moreover, I also use it to adjust the tone I use in various situations. I aim to communicate in a way that is both clear and kind.

Most importantly, it has influenced my ambition. I now measure my ambition against an internal standard rather than comparing it to others. This allows me to focus on my own growth and progress, and not be overly influenced by external factors.

The lessons from this classic have truly transformed my way of thinking and behaving, and I am grateful to have discovered it.

I read this book back in the early 90's and it truly fired me up to better myself.

At that time, it was like a guiding light that shone a path of self-improvement and growth.

This time around, I found myself going through some rough times.

But then, I vividly remembered how this book had made me feel in the past.

It had given me hope, inspiration, and the determination to keep going.

So, I decided to read it again.

And once again, it proved to be timeless.

The words on the pages still held the same power and wisdom, as if they were written just for me in this moment.

It reminded me that no matter how tough life gets, there is always a way to rise above and become a better version of myself.

This book is not just a collection of words; it is a source of strength and motivation that will stay with me forever.

4.5!!!

It is the second favorite book of all time!

I have always had a great passion for reading about the power of the mind.

With that precise mindset, I have managed to overcome numerous difficult times in my life.

The idea that you can achieve something if you believe you can is truly inspiring.

This book delves deep into the concept of the mind's power and offers practical ways to harness it.

It has taught me that our thoughts have the ability to shape our reality.

By maintaining a positive and determined mindset, we can accomplish things that we may have thought were impossible.

Reading this book has been a life-changing experience for me, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to unlock their full potential.

It is a must-read for those who believe in the power of the mind and want to take control of their lives.

OLD MAN SHAKES FIST AT YOUR EXCUSES

An old man, with a stern look on his face, stands firmly, shaking his fist at your excuses. He seems to be fed up with the constant stream of reasons you give for not taking action or for not fulfilling your responsibilities. His eyes are filled with disappointment and a hint of anger.



You try to explain, but he just shakes his head. He believes that excuses are nothing but barriers that prevent you from achieving your goals and growing as a person. He has seen too many people in his long life make excuses and then regret not having done things differently.



The old man's fist-shaking is a wake-up call for you. It makes you realize that it's time to stop making excuses and start taking responsibility for your actions. You need to face the challenges head-on and find solutions instead of blaming others or circumstances. Only then can you move forward and make a positive change in your life.
