Autosuggestion Principle
Influence your mind positively and change your life for the better by using the principle of autosuggestion.
- Through the dominating thoughts which one permits to remain in the conscious mind, whether these thoughts be negative or positive is immaterial, the principle of autosuggestion voluntarily reaches the subconscious mind and influences it with these thoughts.
- Recall what has been said about the subconscious mind resembling a fertile garden spot, in which weeds will grow in abundance, if the seeds of more desirable crops are not sown therein.
- Autosuggestion is the agency of control through which an individual may voluntarily feed his subconscious mind on thoughts of a creative nature, or, by neglect, permit thoughts of a destructive nature to find their way into this rich garden of the mind.
Pygmalion Effect
Positively influence other people's lives by telling them you believe in them, you think they are a good person, they possess particular good qualities, and you expect they will perform well because they have the ability to do so.
- The Pygmalion effect is a psychological phenomenon in which high expectations lead to improved performance in a given area and low expectations lead to worse.
- It is named after the Greek myth of Pygmalion, the sculptor who fell so much in love with the perfectly beautiful statue he created that the statue came to life.
- According to the Pygmalion effect, the targets of the expectations internalize their positive labels, and those with positive labels succeed accordingly.
- A similar process works in the opposite direction in the case of low expectations.
- The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that increasing the leader's expectation of the follower's performance will result in better follower performance.
- Within sociology, the effect is often cited with regard to education and social class.
Begin With The End In Mind
Begin with the end of your task, goal, project, or dream in your mind by mentally envisioning it and creating a written description or picture of exactly what you want the end result to look like when the project or vision is completed.
- To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination.
- It means to know where you're going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.
- "Begin with the end in mind" is based on the principle that all things are created twice.
- There's a mental or first creation, and a physical or second creation to all things.
- Take the construction of a home, for example.
- You create it in every detail before you ever hammer the first nail into place.
- You try to get a very clear sense of what kind of house you want.
Occam's Razor
The solution or explanation with the fewest amount of steps or assumptions should often be preferred in order to simplify the solution down to its essential factor or factors.
- In philosophy, Occam's razor (also spelled Ockham's razor or Ocham's razor; Latin: novacula Occami) is the problem-solving principle that recommends searching for explanations constructed with the smallest possible set of elements.
- It is also known as the principle of parsimony or the law of parsimony (Latin: lex parsimoniae).
- Attributed to William of Ockham, a 14th-century English philosopher and theologian, it is frequently cited as "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem", which translates as "Entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity", although Occam never used these exact words.
- Popularly, the principle is sometimes inaccurately paraphrased as "The simplest explanation is usually the best one."
- This philosophical razor advocates that when presented with competing hypotheses about the same prediction, one should prefer the one that requires the fewest assumptions and that this is not meant to be a way of choosing between hypotheses that make different predictions.
Self Fulfilling Prophecy
Your beliefs and thoughts influence your mind and your life, so any expectations you have about your self, your character, your abilities, your goals, and your dreams can and often will come true if you believe they will.
- A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that comes true at least in part as a result of a person's belief or expectation that said prediction would come true.
- In the phenomena, people tend to act the way they have been expected to making the expectations come true.
- Self-fulfilling prophecies are an example of the more general phenomenon of positive feedback loops.
- A self-fulfilling prophecy can have either negative or positive outcomes.
- Merely applying a label to someone or something can affect the perception of the person/thing and create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Pareto Principle
80% of the result comes from 20% of your time, work, or activities, so realize that 80% could be good enough for many tasks or goals by focusing on the essential 20% of your habits and activities.
- This is one of the best ways to make better use of your time.
- The 80/20 rule - also known as The Pareto Principle - basically says that 80 percent of the value you will receive will come from 20 percent of your activities.
- So a lot of what you do is probably not as useful or even necessary to do as you may think.
- You can just drop - or vastly decrease the time you spend on - a whole bunch of things.

80% of the results will often come from 20% of the causes, so focus on finding the vital few inputs or actions that will provide the most benefit or effect.
- The Pareto principle states that for many outcomes, roughly 80% of consequences come from 20% of causes (the "vital few").
- Other names for this principle are the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity.
- Management consultant Joseph M. Juran developed the concept in the context of quality control and improvement after reading the works of Italian sociologist and economist Vilfredo Pareto, who wrote about the 80/20 connection while teaching at the University of Lausanne.
- In his first work, Cours d'Γ©conomie politique, Pareto showed that approximately 80% of the land in the Kingdom of Italy was owned by 20% of the population.
