MIND
Henry Ford 1863
Think!
“Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is probably the reason why so few engage in it.”
Thinking is how you prepare, it’s the hard work, it’s where you figure out the little nuances and “make ready” your plans. Ford said, “Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.” Are you ready? Are you thinking?

*Think today. Spend an hour deep in thought. No phone. No TV. No distractions. Make ready your plans because getting ready is the secret to success.

“In every doctrine and every dogma and every spiritualism, in every religion there are some basic spiritual truths,” he elaborates. “All these things are road maps for human being to use to try to live better lives, to try to make themselves better people. I am familiar with those concepts because I spend a lot of time reading shit, that’s all. I’m making it up as I go, I’m trying to do the best I can to be the best human being I can.”

Don’t Listen to Nay-Sayers
It’s easy to think of all of the possible negative scenarios. Arnold gives an example in his book about buying his first rental property. A friend of his couldn’t understand how he had the guts to buy the rental property. His friend didn’t want to take any risk in his life.

Expectations of what it is to be a ‘real man,’ within today’s society, causes the stigmatization of others who do not conform to these socially constructed standards. Terms such as ‘wimp,’ ‘fag,’ ‘sissy,’ and ‘pussy’ is assigned to those who do not ‘measure up’ to expectations of the masculine identity
