Subconscious- English Articles

when I was in the plane I decide to read  a book entitled ” What Ever You Think, Think The Opposite ” by Paul Arden.  it’s about the ideas of thinking different.

The author was trying to tells us that:  An Each person is a differs from the others, so you should think by different way, if  you wont to be like the others. When he said that: ” if you always make the right decision, the safe decision, the one most people make, you’ll be the same as everyone else.

When you say: (I wish.) it means: wouldn’t it be nice if…….Always wishing life was different.”

After few pages he said also: ” you can’t afford the house of your dreams.

That’s why it’s the house of your dreams.

So either find a way of getting it, or be satisfied with dissatisfaction. ”

The book start with this example:

” Until the Mexico Olympics of 1968 the customary was for a  high jumper to cross the bar was with his body parallel to it, in a technique known as the western role. But that was about to change.

a little- known athlete approached the bar, which was set at a world record height of 7ft 4.1/4  inches. he took off, but instead of turning his body towards the bar, he turned his back on it.

He brought his legs up and flipped over the bar backwards.

His name was dick fosbury, and his method of jumping became known as the fosbury flop. It is still used today.

He jumped higher than any man before, by thinking the opposite from every one else.

The example is just technique foe thinking, but here the technique for thinking became a technique for jumping, turning a flop into a success. ”

After a few pages I read story about ” Vivienne Westwood ”

under this title ( the Height of un fashion.) : the people who create work that fashionable people emulate do the very opposite of what is in fashion.

They create something unfashionable, out of time wrong.

Original ideas are create by original people, people who either through instinct or know the value of being different and recognize the commonplace as a dangerous place to be.

At the beginning of the 1970s Vivienne Westwood and Malcolm McLaren opened a shop in what was the then unfashionable st.  Christopher’s  place off Oxford st. in London.

Their shop was called ‘ Nostalgia of Mud ‘. the clothes were thirty years ahead of their time. They were unbearable and unbuyable.

The shop was, to put it mildly, odd.

It closed rather quickly.

Was it stupid thing to do, or was it a great thing to do?

Had they not been spirited and courageous enough to do that, Westwood would not have become our most revered designer, and McLaren would not have formed the Sex Pistols. ”

However, so far I found inside the book interesting stories and ideas of people they think by different ways and they became success. but I don’t know  if it useful for us ?

The Author mentioned in the book something about  decisions and I’d like to discuss with you his opinion if you agree with him or not:

He said that in page 30 under title: ”decisions”

” when you look back there will be things you will regret.

You made the wrong decision.

Wrong.

You made the right decision.

Life is about decisions.

1- am I going to have the practical car or the fast car?

2- Shall I go to college or get a job?

3- Will I have wine, beer or water?

Whatever decision you make is the only one you could make.

Otherwise you would make a different one.

Everything we do we choose.

So what is there to regret?

You are the person you choose to be. ”

So what do you think about the decisions you made long time ago?

Did you choose the right decision or the wrong?

Do you think that the term “Right” is a variable or fixed term?
