For a moment consider the things your mind has brought you everything you
have your work your relationship with your family and others your philosophy
of life all come to you as a result of using
your mind now consider the estimate made by experts
you have probably been operating on less than 10 of your mental capacities much
less dr herbert otto psychologist educator
and chairman of the national center for the exploration of human potential
reminds us that many well-known scientists such as the late abraham
maslow margaret mead gardner murphy oh spurgeon
english and carl rogers subscribe to the
hypothesis that man is using a very small fraction of
his capacities margaret mead quotes a six percent
figure herbert auto writes my own estimate is five percent or less
neurological research at the ucla brain research institute points to enormous
abilities latent in everyone by suggesting an incredible
hypothesis the ultimate creative capacity of the
human brain may be for all practical purposes they pointed
out infinite to use the computer analogy
man is a vast storehouse of data but we have not learned how to program
ourselves to utilize these data for problem solving purposes
yet for mob the eminent soviet scholar and writer says
man under average conditions at work and life uses only a small part of his
thinking equipment if he were able to force our brain to
work at only half its capacity we could without any difficulty whatever
learn 40 languages memorize the large soviet encyclopedia from cover to cover
and complete the required courses of dozens of colleges
this statement is hardly an exaggeration it is the generally accepted theoretical
view of man's mental potentialities now how
can we tap this gigantic potential well it's a
big and very complex problem with many ramifications
but as herbert otto points out it is clear that persons who live
close to their capacity who continue to activate their potential
have a pronounced sense of well-being and considerable energy
they see themselves as leading purposeful and creative lives
if everything you have is the result of using just 10 of your mind
consider for a moment what it will mean to you and your family if you can
increase this percentage none of us as a rule has the slightest
notion of the real capabilities of his mind
but believe me when i say that your mind can be compared to an undiscovered gold
mine and it makes no difference whether
you're 17 or 70. look at it this way your goal is in the
future your problem is to bridge the gap which exists
between where you are now and the goal you intend to reach this is a problem to
solve robert seashore when chairman of the
department of psychology at northwestern university pointed out that successful
people are not people without problems they're simply people who learn to solve
their problems and there you have it living
successfully getting the things we want from life is a matter of solving the
problems which stand between where we now are and the point we wish
to reach no one is without problems they're a
part of living but let me show you how much time we waste in worrying about the
wrong problems here's a reliable estimate of
the things people worry about things that never happen forty percent
things over and past that can't be changed by all the worry in the world
thirty percent needless worries about our health
twelve percent petty miscellaneous worries 10
real legitimate worries 8 in short 92 of the average person's
worries take up valuable time cause painful stress even mental anguish
and are absolutely unnecessary and in the real legitimate worries there
are two kinds there are the problems we can solve and
there are the problems beyond our ability to personally solve
but most of our real problems usually fall into the first group the ones we
can solve if we learn how now i'm going to
assume you've decided upon a goal your problem is how do i achieve it your
goal may be a promotion a greater income a beautiful home it makes
a little difference what your goal happens to be
but you have your goal and you know that you will become
and you will achieve what you think about that is if you stay with it
you will reach your goal but how well it's right here that your mind
comes into play what is your mind no one knows for sure
perhaps the best way to describe it is to quote pulitzer prize-winning
playwright archibald mcleish in his play the secret of freedom a
character says the only thing about a man that is a man is his mind
everything else you can find in a pig or a horse that's uncomfortably true
the human mind is the one thing that separates us from the rest of the
creatures on earth anything that comes to us in the future
will almost certainly come to us as a result of the
extent to which we use our minds and yet it's the last place on earth the average
person will turn to for help in order to reflect just a moment on the
human mind consider what it's accomplished human knowledge has
advanced more in the past 50 years than in all the preceding
10 000 years of human civilization of all the scientists who ever lived
it's estimated that 90 of them are alive today
we've reached in the area of ideas and human advancement
a plateau so high it was undreamed of by even the most optimistic forecasters as
recently as 10 years ago but every new idea triggers additional
ideas so that now we're in an era of compounding advancement on every front
and in every area that staggers the imagination
dr harlow shapley of harvard has said that we're entering an entirely new age
of man he calls it the psychozoic age the age
of the mind and you own one free and clear
now let's look at a few facts now the average working person has at his
disposal an enormous amount of free time in fact if you totally hours in a year
and subtract the sleeping hours if he sleeps eight hours every night
you'll find he has almost six thousand waking hours of which he spends
less than two thousand on the job now this leaves him four thousand hours
a year when he's neither working nor sleeping
these can be called discretionary hours with which we can do pretty much as we
please at least our minds are free now so you
can see the amazing results in your life i want to recommend that you take just
one hour a day five days a week and devote this hour to
exercising your mind pick one hour a day on which you can
fairly regularly count and during this hour every day take a
completely blank sheet of paper at the top of the page write your
present primary goal clearly simply then since our future depends
upon the way in which we handle our work write down as many ideas as you can for
improving that which you now do try to think of 20 possible ways in
which the activity that fills your day can be improved
you won't always get 20 but even one idea is good
now remember two important points with regard to this
one this is not particularly easy and two most of your ideas won't be any good
now when i say it's not easy i mean it's like starting any new habit at first you
provide your mind a little reluctant to be
hauled up and out of the old familiar rut but as you think about your work in
ways in which it might be improved write down every idea that pops into your mind
no matter how absurd it might seem let me tell you what will happen some of
your ideas will be good and with testing the most important
thing this extra hour accomplishes however
is that it deeply embeds your goal in your subconscious mind starts the whole
vital machinery working and 20 ideas a day if you can come up
with that many total 100 a week even if you don't think on weekends
an hour a day five days a week totals 260 hours a year
and still leaves you 3740 hours of free leisure time
now this means you'll be thinking about your goal and ways of improving your
performance increasing your service six and a half full extra working weeks
a year six and a half 40 hour weeks devoted to
thinking and planning can you see how easy it is to rise above
the so-called competition and will still leave you with 15 hours a
day to spend as you please starting each day thinking you'll find
it your mind will continue to work all day long
you'll find that at odd moments when you least expect it really great ideas will
begin to pop into your mind and when they do write them down as soon
as you can just one great idea can completely
revolutionize your work and as a result your life if you want to develop the
muscles of your body you take daily exercise of some sort
well the mind is developed the same way except that the returns out of all
conceivable proportion to the time and energy spent
i've used this system for years it's given me some of the most gratifying and
rewarding experiences of my life and it costs only five hours a week five
hours out of 168 is it worth it it's like spending five
hours a week digging in a solid vein of pure gold
because your mind is all of that and much more each time you write your goal
at the top of the sheet of paper don't worry or become concerned about it
think of it as only waiting to be reached a problem only waiting to be
solved face it with faith and bend all the
great powers of your mind towards solving it
and believe me solve it you will now let's briefly recap this week starts
spending one hour each day getting as many ideas as you can
try for 20 a day on ways to improve what you're now doing
remember the achievement of your goal very likely depends upon it as does your
whole future 2. if everything you now have as a
result of using say five to ten percent of your mental
abilities you can imagine what life will be like if you can increase this figure
to twenty percent or more three successful
people are not people without problems they're simply people who've learned to
solve their problems four don't waste time and energy
worrying about needless things forty percent of them will never happen
thirty percent have already happened and can't be changed
twelve percent of needless worries about our health ten percent of petty
miscellaneous worries only eight percent are real try to
separate the real from the unnecessary and solve those which are within your
ability to solve last of all the only thing in the world
that can take you to your goals in life is your mind it's
effective use and following through on the good ideas
it supplies you each of us has a tendency to
underestimate his or her own abilities we should realize that we have deep
within ourselves a reservoir of great ability
