Recognize Your Failure Symptoms

FRIDAY Book Study: we will study this one power packed book throughout the year, each week diving into business, mindset, and personal development principles. Og Mandino’s University of Success: The Greatest Self-Help Author in the World Presents the Ultimate Success Book.

There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow

TODAY’S INSTRUCTOR: DORTHEA BRANDE

Born in Chicago, Dorothea Brande (1893–1948) was a widely respected journalist, fiction writer, and writing instructor. Brande is widely known for her enduring guide to the creative process, Becoming a Writer, originally published in 1934 and still popular today. In 1936, Brande published a masterwork of practical psychology, Wake Up and Live! The book entered more than 34 printings and sold more than 1 million copies. For many years, Wake Up and Live!, with its simple and sound advice for personal excellence, rivaled the popularity of contemporaneous works such as Think and Grow Rich and How to Win Friends and Influence People.

TODAY’S TAKEAWAY NUGGETS

• You could be a failure all of your life and no one would be able to help you simply because you have managed to camouflage the reasons you are failing, often unconsciously, even from yourself.
• We are so accustomed to not speak about failure and frustration it is like being invited to fight windmills when we are are urged to the fight the symptoms of failure.
• The nine to five work is drudgery.. (read this section)
• The intention, often unconsciously, to fill live so full of secondary and substitute activities that there is no time in which to perform the best work of which one is capable of…the intention in short is to fail.

TO GET THE MOST OUT OF THIS BOOK STUDY

• I may read and record a portion of the chapter or just pick out a few nuggets each week. So, to really obtain the full benefit and get the most out of this book you may want to purchase your own copy, here is the link to Amazon
• Highlight, underline, star, mark up this book however you want with things that resonate with you.
• Take this study slowly and with intention, that’s why we are doing only ONE chapter each week, so we can ponder, think and study on this content until the next chapter.
• Do the chapters in order (all of these suggestions are from the author)
