As a Man Thinketh
Assessment by Mohammed Sannoh (Liberia)
1. What are the main ideas the author is trying to convey in the book?
The author is trying to convey two main ideas in the book: Your actions are outgrowth of your thought. Be whoever you are, keep your positive thoughts. As a Man Thinketh shows to us that your thought is always your inner-role and outer-role. If you always think about your positive thoughts, it shows your positive result and if you think about negative thoughts, it will show your negative result. Your thoughts become your words and your words become your behavior.
You shape the word just as much as it shapes you: Good come for good, bad come for bad. We have seen many people coming up good because their thought was good and we see many people coming up bad because they were having bad thoughts. You shape this world for yourself as a good person and again you can shape this world for yourself as a bad person.
2. What were the seven main ideas which were personally most important to you and why? List these seven ideas and follow by an explanation after each one as to why it was important to you. Use personal examples from your own life.
i. We don’t get what we want in life, we get our habits of thought.
“All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of thought.”
Someone who thinks of confident thoughts, abundance, wellbeing, and compassion for others become those things and we can only achieve what we are.
ii. Without purpose leads to worries, self-pity, and failure.
Without a purpose, we drift in life not knowing our destination
As human beings, sometimes you see someone living without a dream, what they do in life to follow other people for their daily bread. A life without purpose is senseless. Nothing you do in life is connected. Since nothing seems to be coherent, your mind is unable to comprehend why everything is happening. Anxiety is triggered when a person’s mind thinks their life is in danger so, in the case of purposeless life, your brain translates the lack of connection to be a threat to your life. Anything that doesn’t seem to be a fit is automatically a danger as per year.
iii. Sickness is a manifestation of thought.
iv. Circumstances doesn’t create a man, they reveal him.
We are not at the mercy of our circumstances, we create them.We are born into a small circumstance that we do not choose. Our parents, location, and how we’re raised are a few, but it is our choice of thought that cultivates an unlimited possibility of circumstances we experience later in life. Many people are born into the same circumstances, yet only a few will discover they are master gardeners of their soul and director of their life.
v. Put first things first.
Prioritize and achieve your most important goals instead of constantly reacting to urgencies.
vi. Begin with the end in mind.
Define clear measures of success and a plan to achieve them.
vii. Maintaining a positive mind is the key to a healthy physical body.
Entertaining thoughts that are beautiful, peaceful, happy and harmonious will result in a healthy, vibrant and youthful physical body.
3. How will these ideas or lessons help you in a practical way, both in your daily personal life and in helping to create a better world.
You are the master of fate: The author says that our mind is a tool, man can either build himself with the help of this tool or destroy himself with the same.
By the right choice and true application of thought, man can create for himself a beautiful life. A man holds the key to every situation in life and has the power to make himself what he wills.
Your mind determines your health. The author finds out that good thoughts are just as important as good food to maintain a healthy life. He believes that when a man makes his thoughts pure, he no longer desires impure food. Clean thought makes clean habits.
Eliminate doubt and fear. Doubt and fear are the great enemies of success. The first step to success is to have the belief that you can succeed. As Confucius said, “He who says he can, and he who says he can’t, are usually right.”
Dream begets realities: The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. Dreams are the seedlings of realities. You will build your life with the vision that you glorify in your mind.
Calmness: The more tranquil a man becomes the greater his success, his influence, his power for good. The strong, calm man is always loved and revered.
4. Quotes: Are there any statements which the author made that particularly got your attention? If so, please quote them and comment as to why they were important to you.
“He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much.”
This quote shows how serious you are. It shows you can succeed bigger if you dream bigger. It shows your determination in life
“They themselves are maker of themselves.”
James Allen shows us that; you can be a maker for yourself. They made or unmade themselves; in the armory of thought he forges the weapon by which he destroys himself. He also fashions the tools which he builds for himself a heavenly mansion of joy and strength and peace.

Jonathan Livingston Seagull
Assessment by Mohammed Sannoh (Liberia)
1. What are the main ideas the author is trying to convey in the book?
In my point of view: the message was self-determination through normal perception of the body and coming across of the limitless nature of the mind and the spirit. What I convey in the book is this: my ambition and effort is more important in my life.
Jonathan was long to be in control of his own life and govern himself independently of hegemony. The message is this: what becomes of you is through your effort, not different people’s thoughts.
2. What were the seven main ideas which were personally most important to you and why? List these seven ideas and follow by an explanation after each one as to why it was important to you. Use personal examples from your own life.
i. Loneliness
Sometimes if we feel lonely, we think we have lost everything. What comes in this story is this: Jonathan became successful because of his loneliness and he was different from other seagulls because of his loneliness. This is the example: Jonathan learns to master the art of time flying, he was lonely and I can do this same example as Jonathan.
ii. Sometime: majority are not always right.
Jonathan refuses to be like other seagulls who fly just to get food. His ambition was to fly higher and learn more technique. This choice of life is very challenging and derided by the whole flock. Sometimes you need to achieve alone without relying on majority thought and that is what Jonathan does.
iii. Helping others to be better make you better
Jonathan learned the true act of flying, instead of him taking pride, as a moral duty to go back and teach the other seagull everything he has learned. Helping others does not mean you will lose hope, rather help you achieve higher. Don’t be afraid that someone may be higher than you, always have the mind to help if needed.
iv. The purpose of life is to improve yourself
Living in this life is about surviving, but about awakening our potential and becoming the best vision of ourselves. Improvement requires dedication, perseverance and courage, but it is the real meaning of our life.
v. Learn to love and show kindness
It is difficult to show love after we have gone through so much hardship, but you can always learn and learn again how to love.
vi. If you want to succeed, to do something you find impossible or difficult, the trick is to know that you have already arrived or achieved it.
vii. Have a limitless mind and be teachable
3. How will these ideas or lessons help you in a practical way, both in your daily personal life and in helping you to create a better world? If so, why?
The main values that we can decrypt from the seagull are that falling and hurting is a part of every organism be it human or animal. We need to accept the challenge and move forward with it. It can be a great challenge to me in my life but important as they teach us what it is like to fall and rise after we are presented with failures and complications.
4. Quotes: Are there any statements which the author made that particularly got your intention? If so, please quote them and comment as to why they were important to you.
“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation.”
This quote got my mind in truths, blindness, and limitation.
5. Is there anything in the book that you do not understand or are unclear about, or are there ideas which you disagree with and, if so, why?
I don’t disagree with anything stated in this book. I understand everything.
I don’t completely get the complexion of love mentioned in this book. I am unclear about all of the ways love can be shared.
6. Did the book contain exercise for the reader to complete? If so, did you complete all the exercises and did you find them helpful
This book did not contain any exercise. It only preaches self-love and self-determination.
7. Was there anything you read in the book that you would like to comment on that was not covered in the previous questions? If so, please comment.

Keys to Success
Assessment by Mohammed M. Sannoh (Liberia)
1. What was the author trying to convey in the book?
The author was trying to convey the few ideas that face difficulties in human life
Desire: “Wishing will not bring riches,” said Hill. “But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches. According to Hill in this quote, it is about beautifying your desire on the positive mind of getting rich. Sometimes what you wish for, you can’t get but it can be the desire of your positive minds. Faith: Believe that you can achieve your goal.
Growing rich begins with a positive mindset. Faith in one’s ability to attract wealth is a necessary requirement to attract it. “Riches begin in the form of thought!” insisted Hill. “The amount is limited only by the person in whose mind the thought is put into motion. Faith removes limitations!
Specialized knowledge: Gain experiences and continue learning. Elkins agreed that knowledge is power, but only when individuals apply what they learn to solve problems in their daily lives. Hill believed successful men and women are committed to lifelong learning. This is particularly important in this technological era where new information constantly changes. Organized Planning: Take action. “Opportunity has spread its wares before you,” said Hill. “Step up to the front, select what you want, create your plan, put the plan into action, and follow through with persistence.” Hill gave us a message to step forward for it. Opportunity was once created before you and getting it, you have to step for forward
Persistence: Don’t stop until you get what you want. Successful men and women believe challenges are important directional arrows that lead them closer to their goals. They are not distracted by set-backs and disappointments. “Riches do not respond to wishes,” wrote Napoleon Hill. “They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.”
Power of the Mastermind: Surround yourself with successful people. Hill described a Mastermind group as “a friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose. Members of Mastermind groups challenge one another to set individual and collective goals. They hold one another to be accountable. Participation in a Mastermind group requires commitment, confidentiality, openness to input from others, honesty, and respect.
2. What were the seven main ideas which were personally most important to you and why? List these seven ideas and follow by an explanation after each one as to why it was important to you. Use personal example from your own life.
i. Believe in Yourself
Self-Confidence will help you master the six basic fears with which every person is cursed; the fear of Poverty, Ill Health, Old Age, Criticism, Loss of Love and the fear of Death. Learn the difference between egotism and real self-confidence which is based upon definite, usable knowledge.
ii. Get in the Habit of Saving.
Learn how to save your money. Habits of saving will teach you how to share your money accordingly. You only succeed in life through saving.
iii. Be Creative
Imagination will build up your mind so that you will receive new ideas and develop new plans which will help you in getting the object of your aim.
iv. Self-Control
It is the “balance wheel” with which you control your enthusiasm and direct it where you wish it to carry you. This lesson will teach you, in a most practical manner, to become “the master of your fate, the Captain of your Soul.”
v. Accurate Thinking
It is one of the important foundation stones of all enduring success. This lesson teaches you how to separate “facts” from mere “information.” It teaches you how to organize known facts into two classes: the “important” and the “unimportant.” It teaches you how to determine what is an “important” fact. It teaches you how to build definite working plans, in the pursuit of any calling, out of FACTS.
vi. Learning by Failure
It will teach you how to make stepping way out of all of your past and future mistakes and failures. It will teach you the difference between “failure” and “defeat,” a difference which is very great and very important. It will teach you how to profit by your own failures and by the failures of other people.
vii. Focusing
It teaches you how to focus your attention upon one subject at a time until you have worked out practical plans for mastering that subject. It will teach you how to ally yourself with others in such a manner that you may have the use of their entire knowledge to back you up in your own plans and purposes. It will give you a practical working knowledge of the forces around you, and show you how to harness and use these forces in furthering your own interests.
3. How these or lesson will help you in the practical ways, both in your daily personal life and in helping to create a better world; if so how?
In the first paragraph, Hill argues that thinking is more conducive to success than any other feature, including money, education or specific knowledge about something. Man that “think” he can accomplish something is already.
When defeat comes, accept as the signal that your plan is not the sound. Rebuild those plans and set sail once more toward your convicted. Failure is not a man stopping point, it only motivates how strong you are.
This lesson teaches you how to motivate yourself in dealing with money and desire. Hill 16 principle develop great work in human life towards money
In helping creating better world is to accept failure and dealing with money, desire with positive mind.
4. Quote: Are there any statements which the author made that particularly got your attention? If so, please quote them and comment as to why they were important to you.
“Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”
This quotation has though my mind in many ways and some have to do with money and desire and imagination. Wishing will not bring riches but desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

PsychoCybernetics
Assessment by Mohammed Sannoh (Liberia)
1. What the main ideas the author is trying to conveys in the book?
The author is giving us many ideas in this book and it showing us to remove ourselves in negative thought. The first lesson is the way you act is result of the mental image you create of yourself. Whether you like it or not you’ve created your own self-image or footstep. Every success, failure, and experience you’ve had has played a role in the creation of this mental illustration. Life events, whether traumatic or wonderful, lead us to create the mental footstep of ourselves. This principle is important to know because who you believe yourself to be determines how you act every day. The second is to create a successful personality. Maltz teaches that there are seven elements of a personality that attracts success. The acronym S.U.C.C.E.S.S. summarizes these fundamentals.
1. The first element is the sense of direction, or having an objective to pursue. Direct yourself toward success every day by setting goals.
2. Next is understanding. To know when your fear or desire is altering the truth. Anxiety, fear, and desire cause us to misunderstand events, which leads to failure.
3. Courage: don’t delay action until you are completely confident. Even imperfect courage is better than none.
4. Charity which consists of putting of problems and needs of the people first. Caring for others is hallmark of outstanding individuals.
5. Esteem is next and is all about having a positive self-opinion. Tell yourself often that you can do whatever you think you can!
6. Self-confidence comes after esteem. You can improve this one by remembering your past successes. Learn to accept and love yourself for who you are, and forget your past failures.
7. The last is self-acceptance which is learning to live and be okay with yourself, weaknesses and strengths.
How you care for your emotional well-being determines whether or not you can become your best self.
As with physical injuries that form physical scars, emotional pain leads to emotional scars. The pain that causes scars is our body’s natural way of protecting itself from more damage in the same place. The purpose of emotional scars is the same-to protect the soul from future damage. Forgiveness is the tool that breaks down emotional walls.
2. What were the seven main ideas which were personally most important to you and why? List these seven ideas and follow by explanation after each one as to why it was important to you. Use personal examples from your own life.
i. Self-image is the forefront of every human.
The image is the mental picture of how we perceive ourselves a “mental blueprint” if you will, of both our physical body and as a holistic individual. This self-image covers the thoughts, beliefs & emotions within us and is built from past experiences, failures, successes, & other key moments in our life.
ii. Personality
While many know and hear the word ‘personality’ in daily talk, few realize the implicit connection it has with self-image. Personality, is the outwards exemplification of our self-image. As Maltz put it, ‘’personality is not so much something that is acquired from without, as something that is released from within’’. Everyone has a personality and more importantly, everyone has the potential to have a “good personality.”
iii. Imagination is the key:
So, how do we actually reach a new way of thinking about ourselves? According to Maltz, the answer lies in imagination: just like at times (or most of the time, or at all times) we think of ourselves as incompetent, lazy, knuckleheads brat, we can create new, creative mental impression, behaving and acting as if. The thing to point out is that our brain doesn’t distinguish between imagination and reality; instead, it acts based on the information we send it through our thoughts.
iv. Take time to relax.
Although having proactive lifestyle is important, taking time to relax yield tremendous benefits when it comes to trancelike ourselves from wrong thoughts and convictions. All it takes is thirty minutes a day: find a comfortable spot and let go of all the tension that piled up in your muscles throughout the day. Meditation has thousands of variables, and by simply looking online you can find everything you need to get started; the important thing is to make it a regular habit your life, as ii will give you more clarity, emotional well-being and less anxiety, all things that will positively influence your self-image.
v. Let go of past failures
While it’s okay to look back to your successes, as they can inspire us to do more of what worked moving forward, we should forget completely our failures. Our errors, trials and tribulations have been learning steps, absolutely necessary for our personal development. Will Durant once quote: “Forget mistakes. Forget failure. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it.”
vi. Be happy
Most of us tend to postpone our happiness because of external circumstances. It’s like a deferred payment: we don’t enjoy life today because we take for granted that, in the future, we will. Well, guess what? Life is not tomorrow, life has to lived today (and, by the way, there will never be a better time to be happy than the present moment); happiness is a habit; and if you don’t practice it today, you’ll never experience it later on. Life is all about problems; if you want to be happy, you have to learn to smile despite problems, and you shouldn’t do it just because there’s a reward waiting for you on the other side or because something good already happened to you. “Well, I guess I’ll be happy when I pay off my mortgage.” “I’ll be happy when the semester is over.”
“I’ll be happy when I fall in love.”
vii. Release and forgive, then Relax
To truly succeed, we must learn to relax. When we relax, our mind is more receptive and congruent, and it also allows us to program success into our servo-mechanism much easier. Now while most recognize meditation and taking personal quiet time for yourself as the most influential means as to doing this, we will recognize a more important underlying method; release your emotional scars through forgiveness.
3. How will these ideas or lessons help you in a practical way, both in your daily personal life and in helping to create a better world.
Psycho Cybernetics book full of knowledge and self-guiding.
This will help me to work on how you perceive yourself
It shows me that everyone make mistake
It teaches me to compete against myself
Live and act in the moment
No matter how your problem you can be happy
You can set goal for yourself not other people
Take the first step even if is small
4. Quotes: Are there any statements which the author made that particularly got your intention? If so, please quote them and comment as to why they were important to you.
“Happiness is the mental habit, a mental attitude, and if it is not learned and practiced in the present it is never experienced. It cannot be made contingent upon solving some external problem. When one problem is solved, another appears to take its place. Life is a series of problems. If you are to be happy at all, you must be happy period! Not happy “because of.”
This life is full of obstacle and it started from the time you are born. Ignore what people say about you and design your own life. No matter what engage your life with goodness. And developed an attitude for more gratitude.
