Yeah , but we are on the bench. I ve made 100 pounds today for 2 hours , my first money in a month.

I'm not on the bench - I'm working hard...

I wouldn't be stuck in Slough if I was benched!

Not that hard, having time to be on the internet.

It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.

1. I want to gain control of my mind and to be able to maintain constant focus and concentration on a particular subject – say a new business idea. A bit of a change from now - 97 percent of my thoughts are devoted to cute chicks , fast cars , big houses and big dreams.

2. Become patient and persistent in realizing my business ideas.

The 97% of your thoughts in point 1 should be able to help you achieve point 2.

"Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill is good for focusing your mind on achieving what you want. "The E Myth Revisited" by Michael E Gerber is a practical way to do it.

"Eat that frog" by Brian Tracy is good for getting loads of important stuff done to free up time for that very important 97% of other stuff you are aiming to achieve

The concepts taught by Napoleon Hill transformed my life. Some of these include developing a definite purpose, building a Positive Mental Attitude (PMA),

Sounds like what i need. I actually have a concept like that in my life , it is called the SFM . Success Focused Mindset. It has to do with controlling what I think all the time. For example when I feel fear or anger I've been trying to train myself to , as i call it , "cut the thought (or feeling) at the source". Basically by "fading-out" , not thinking about this. I've been trying to apply it since 2001 , but is hard. If you are to change your thought process fundamentally you have to be persistent , apply the principles everyday.


If I buy the Think and Grow Rich , ( written in the 30ies) , and don't like it , where do I claim my rupees ?

Well , after having spent about a decade reading technical books only , I decided to find something other to read. I was browsing amazon for self-improvement books ( biz , productivity related ) – ones that make you better. Frankly there are thousands, it is almost like everybody has written one. One that cought my attention was “Meditation for dummies” lol . Might give it a try ( at least I will have a laugh )

Another one that I ve been hearing all over the place is the “4 hours Work Week”

Anyone ?

For Heaven's sake don't waste money buying them. I have hundreds of self-improvement ebooks. Not that I've ever read any, but they're among my 100,000 plus collection of ebooks. (Beat that if you can AtW )

If you let me know a few titles and an email addy I'll send you some.

Would this generous offer extend to another board member, kind sir?

pm me if you want/need one or two specific titles, but I can't spend too long searching. (They're not all organised as well as I'd like, and I can't be bothered to spend too long on that.)

Your best chances will be topics related to computing, maths, science, medicine, and humour. But I have plenty of others. (I don't bother much with fiction though, but also have several thousand novels.)
