great book
totally enjoyed this book it came highly recommended, as a matter of fact someone gave a copy to my daughter who inspired me to buy my own copy to keep for reference can't recommend it enough if you want inspiration and renewed confidence n yourself I read a lot of books and this one is a major recommendation!
Helpful! One of the best on "Resilience"
Allow me to quote from one of my all time tennis champion favorite Chris Evert on the back cover, "In life, as in tennis, it's the bounce that counts! Roger Crawford shows how resilience is the difference between playing to win and playing not to lose." In short, in case you really want to read a book that talks on resilience, this is it. Highly recommended!
Below please find some of my favorite passages for your reference:-
As humans, we're capable of dealing with only one dominant thought at a time. Therefore, it's impossible to be both resilient and pessimistic simultaneously. You have to choose, and you become what you think about most. People ...call it the "Principle of Dominant Thought". pg 17
Argue for your limitations and they are yours. - Richard Bach pg 18
Positive thinking: I feel happy. (But I really dont)
Resilient thinking: Right now I feel lousy, but I have it in my power to be happy.
Positive thinking: I am successful. (But I'm not)
Resilient thinking: Today I had a setback, but i can turn it around. pg 19
Not: I wont fall below my sales quota this month.
But:I will meet my sales quota this month.
Not: Stop doing that!
But: Do this! pg 20
Whenever you catch youself saying "if only", make a conscious switch to "next time". pg 23
Count the blessings of the day. Practice an attitude of gratitude. pg 27
Suppose you are playing a tennis match and expect to win 55% of the points and lose 45%. That's a 10% spread. What are your chances of winning the match? .....91%. What % point spread would you need to win at least 99% of your matches? ....about 20%. pg 29
Even when you dont feel like laughing, try smiling. That smiling draws positive attention to you and tends to make you and others feel at ease. Smiling conveys self-acceptance and an accepting attitude towards others. It increases others' confidence in themselves and in you. Smiling makes you appear approachable, friendly, relaxed, open and comfortable. pg 45
If you dont periodically ask, "Where am I going?" the groove you're in can become a rut. pg 179
