There is magic in thinking a certain kind of thought, and it's that magic that separates the positive thinker from the negative thinker.

The individual's own mental attitude will determine how far he or she will go in life. It's your attitude, not your aptitude, that will determine your altitude in life.

f we can only go from negative thinking to positive thinking then we'll make the greatest single stride we can make in life. Every one of us is a combination of negatives and positives. You can't be all positive and you can't be all negative. There is good and bad in everyone.

We're all a combination of both attitudes and both points of view. You only achieve the greatness in your life when the positives outnumber the negatives.

For those who have followed sports over the years, it is easy to see how easy it is for an athlete to lean just a little bit from negative to the positive, and he finds how quickly victory can be had.

If someone were to ask you the purely rhetorical question --"what is the difference between the negative and the positive?" -- how would you answer it? Would you believe that it is an almost imperceptible "lean toward the positive!" Someone put it this way -- "it takes a billionth of a volt to change your mind."
