The Power of Imagination
"The man who has no imagination has no wings"
Muhammad Ali
http://transformingmlm.typepad.com/itstime/2010/02/experience-is-the-best-teacher-but.html
An experiment carried out at the University of Chicago proved beyond doubt the power of imagined experience.
A number of people were divided into three groups, then they were tested on shooting basketball foul shots. The groups were given the following instructions:
Group 1— Did not practice foul shots for 30 days.
Group 2— Practiced foul shots every day for 30 days.
Group 3— Practiced foul shots only in their mind (imagined experience) for 30 days.
Group 2— Practiced foul shots every day for 30 days.
Group 3— Practiced foul shots only in their mind (imagined experience) for 30 days.
After 30 days the three groups were tested again and the results, compared to their initial performance were as follows:
Group 1— Showed no improvement at all.
Group 2— Showed a 24% improvement.
Group 3— Improved by 23% improvement.
Interesting: Group 2 had literally practiced with the ball shooting baskets every day for one month. Group 3 had not seen nor touched a basketball for 30 days. It practiced only with imagination.

Personal Success and Character
by Jim Rohn
Personal success is built on the foundation of character, and character is the result of hundreds and hundreds of choices you may make that gradually turn who you are at any given moment into who you want to be. If that decision-making process is not present, you'll still be somebody-you'll still be alive-but you may have a personality rather than a character, and to me that's something very different.
Character isn't something you were born with and can't change, like your fingerprints. It's something you must take responsibility for forming. You build character by how you respond to what happens in your life, whether it's winning every game, losing every game, getting rich or dealing with hard times.
You build character from certain qualities that you must create and diligently nurture within yourself, just like you would plant and water a seed or gather wood to build a campfire. You've got to look for those things in your heart and in your gut. You've got to chisel away in order to find them, just like chiseling away rock to create the sculpture that previously existed only in the imagination.
But the really amazing thing about character is that, if you're sincerely committed to making yourself into the person you want to be, you'll not only create those qualities, you'll strengthen them and re-create them in abundance, even as you're drawing on them every day of your life. That's why building your character is vital to becoming all you can be. (

Persistence
Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press on! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
—Calvin Coolidge, 30th president of the United States

“Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it even if I may not have it at the beginning.”
