John Maxwell’s book, “How Successful People Think” gave me a charge today. It started with a quote.
More gold has been mined from the thoughts of man than has ever been taken from the earth – Napoleon Hill
Then he goes on to to say
When you take the time to learn how to change your thinking and become a better thinker, you are investing in yourself. Gold mines tap out. Stock markets crash. Real estate investments can go sour. But a human mind with the ability to think well is like a diamond mine that never runs out. It’s priceless. – John Maxwell
If this is truly the case why would we neglect to make this kind investment in our thinking skills? The reason is simple. Most people have not been exposed to the process of improving their thinking. As I work through Maxwell’s recipe for becoming a great thinker, I will share the highlights.

BUU on your self-improvement, be happy with what you are, don´t steal other´s thoughts on who to be.
UGY,
Thanks for the encouragement to be happy with who I am. However, I think it is important to reflect on who we are as well as who we want to become. Learning new skills from the experience from others is a good thing, don’t your think?
