7. Introduction to Positive thinking
Have you ever wondered why some people seem to be
happy all the time? Do you wonder why others seen to be
unhappy? Why do some people seem to have one problem
after another? Is life easier for some people than for others?
No, life is not different for different people. It seems
different only because we see it differently. A problem is a
problem only if we see it as one.

11. Begin Now by Discovering Positive Thinking
• You are about to learn the most important secret ever told.
Every person who is successful knows this secret.
• The secret is simple. It is not hard to learn. It is not hard to
do. All you need to do to change your life is to change the
way you think. That is the secret. You can change your life
anytime you want-just by changing your mind.
• Are you happy with your life? Would you like to change the
way others see you? Would you like to change the way you
see yourself?
12. Thinking Creates Your Self-image
Your self-image is your picture of yourself. It is the way you
see yourself. In your mind you have a picture of who you
are.
That picture is made up of all the thoughts and feelings you
have ever had about yourself.
Presented by Mr.
HOR HEN, Executive
Director of Brain
Activation & Skills
13. Thinking Creates Your Self-image
Some time you saw yourself as smart, good, kind, or
helpful. But at other times you may have seen yourself in
other ways. Have you ever thought of yourself as dumb?
Have you ever felt unwanted? Have you ever felt
unlovable?
That happens to everyone. Your self-image is made up of all
these thoughts. If you think good things about yourself
most of the time, you will feel good about yourself. If you
think bad thing about yourself most of time, you will feel
bad.
14. Thinking Creates Your Self-image
the way you see yourself affects how others see you. If you
see yourself as dumb, ugly, unlovable, other people will
too.
And If you see yourself as smart, kind, and lovable, you will
act smart, kind, and lovable. And other people will see you
that way too.

15. You choose your thoughts
How you think affects how you feel. It affects how you see
yourself and how others see you. Choosing how you will
think is the most important choice you can make. And you
do choose how you think.
Some people believe that others ”make” them think or feel
a certain way. They may say, “Susie hurt my feelings. She
made me feel bad. “Or,” “John made me angry.” But that is
not really true. Other people do thing s and you react to
what they do in certain ways.
16. You choose your thoughts
If you are feeling very good, what Susie says may not
hurt you. But if you are not feeling good about yourself,
you tend to see and hear things as “bad.” Your mood
affects your thoughts just as your thoughts affect your
mood. But you can choose to be in a good mood. You
can decide not to think about bad things.
You can make yourself push unhappy thoughts out of
your head. You start by deciding that you want to do so.
17. You choose your thoughts
You see, only you have control of your thoughts. Only you!
No one else can “make” you think or feel anything.
You decide which thoughts to hang on to your mind. And
you alone can stop them from hurting you..
First let’s look at how those thoughts got into your
memory. Then you will see why you alone control how you
think and how you feel.
18. Thinking About Thinking
You can develop the habit of positive thinking.
Have you ever Stopped to wonder how and why you think?
Probably not.
Most people don’t think about thinking.
They just do it. But you should think about how your
thoughts get into your mind.

20. Thinking About Thinking
Most of us don’t make full use of our mind. Some scientists
say that we use only about one fifth of our brain.
Much of our mind’s work takes place without our
knowledge. Until recently science did not know much
about how the mind works.
But more and more makes it possible for us to use more of
our mind – if we choose to.
21. Thinking About Thinking
We now know that people who are creative – people who
invent things, who create art, or who just have a lot of
ideas – think in a special way.
We also know that people who are generally happy and
upbeat think in are pessimists.
Pessimists are generally unhappy and negative.
22. Thinking About Thinking
We now know that these different thinking processes can
be learned.
Let us look for a moment at some of the things that
scientists have learned about the mind and how it works.
Let’s explore the territory of your mind so that you can
begin to understand it better.
23. Making Memories
A memory is information that is stored in your mind.
Memories are held in your mind to be available for later
use.
Memories help you sort out new information.
Imagine what it would be like if you had no memories.
Each time a new sight, sound, or piece of information came
your way it would have to be figured out anew.
24. Making Memories
Your mind would spend all its time and energy
figuring out that “That shape is a desk,” “That
sound is a dog barking.”
Your mind would have no time or energy to create
new ideas. It would have no old ideas to work from.

25. Making Memories
Your mind uses memories to compare the old with the new.
It looks for patterns and relationships between old and new
information.
How is this in formation like something you already know?
How is it different? Then your mind files the new
information, as a memory, into other files that have similar
information. In this way your mind sets up idea networks
that help you figure things out.
