No one is found who is willing to distribute his money,yet how many does each one of us distribute his life! In guarding their fortune men are often closefisted, yet when it comes to matter of wasting time,in the case of one thing in which it is right to be miserly, they show themselves most prodigal.
How many have been robbed you of life when you were not aware of what you were losing,how much was taken up in useless sorrow, in foolish joy, in greedy desire,in the allurements of the society,you will perceive that you are dying before your season.
You live as if you are destined to live forever, no thought of your frailty ever enters your head, of how much time has already gone by you take no heed.
You squander time as if you drew from a full abundant supply, though all the while that day which you bestow on some person or thing is perhaps your last. You have all the fears of mortals and all the desires of immortals.
Are you not ashamed to reserve for yourself only the remnant of life, and to set apart for wisdom only that time which cannot be devoted to business?
Life will follow the path it started upon and will neither reverse nor check its course; it will make no noise, it will not remind you of its swiftness. Silent it will glide on: it will not prolong itself at the command of a king, or at the applause of the populace. Just as it started on the first day, so will it run; nowhere will it turn aside, nowhere will it delay.

Thoughts
Thought will lead to action, action will develop methods,methods will develop friends, and friends will bring about circumstances and finally materialization will have been accomplished.
Visualization and work
Visualization is the process of making mental images/model which will serve as a pattern from which your future will emerge.
Make the pattern clear and clean cut; do not be afraid.
Make it grand; remember that no limitation can be placed con you by anyone but yourself.
You can be what "you will to be".
But unfortunately,reading about it will not bring any result which you may have in mind. It will not even help form the mental images much less bring it to manifestation.
Work is necessary - labor,hard mental effort,the kind of effort which so few are willing to put forth.

A mind for numbers
•We develop a passion for what we are good at. "The mistake is thinking that we aren't good at something, we do not have and can never develop a passion for it".
•Be patient with yourself - as your ease with the material grow, you'll find yourself enjoying it more and more. And the payoff is well worth the effort.
•Learning doesn't progress logically so that each day just adds on additional neat packet to your knowledge shelf. Sometimes you hit a wall in constructing your understanding. Things that made sense before can suddenly seem confusing.
This type of 'knowledge collapse' seems to occur when your mind is restructuring its understanding - building a more solid foundation.
Remember - it takes time to assimilate new knowledge. You will go through some periods when you seen to take an exasperating step backward in your understanding. This is a natural phenomenon that means your mind is wrestling deeply with the material.
You'll find that when you emerge from these periods of temporary frustration, your knowledge base will take a suprising step forward.
•It's important to transform distant headlines into daily ones; attack them bit by bit. Big tasks need to be translated into smaller ones that show up on daily task list.
The only way to walk a journey of a thousand miles is to take one step at a time.

The Renaissance
A cultural movement for which the ideal was the Universal Man - a person who has managed to connect all branches of knowledge and approximate the intellectual reach of the creator. The mind grows closer to the reality of nature itself and see secret that are invisible to most people.
An ideal example - Leonardo Da Vinci

Mastery
In business, the natural tendency is to look at what is already out there in the marketplace and to think of how we can make it better or cheaper.
The real trick is to focus our attention on some need that is not currently being met,on what is absent.
One interesting way to begin such a thought process is to look at new and available technology in the world and to imagine how it could be applied in a much different way, meeting a need that we sense exists but is not overly apparent.
We have to learn have to imagine more possibilities than we generally consider, being as loose and radical with the process as we can.

On creativity
Understand: the greatest impediment to creativity is your impatience, the almost inevitable desire to hung up the process, express something and make a splash. What happens in such a case is that you do not master the basics,you have no real vocabulary at your disposal. What you mistaken for being creative and distinctive is more likely an imitation of other people's style.
The best route is to love learning for its own sake.
