In the area of personal communication, we say that THE MEANING OF
COMMUNICATION IS THE RESPONSE YOU GET. If we try to tell someone we
love them, and they get upset or hostile, the fact is, our communication may have
been the trigger without our knowing it. By retaining responsibility, by changing
our actions, we can change our communication-the power to change the result we
produce.
BELIEF #4: IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO UNDERSTAND
EVERYTHING TO BE ABLE TO USE
EVERYTHING.
Achievers tend to be time misers-they exact the essence from a situation,
take out what they need, and don't dwell on the rest. They know what's essential
and what's not.
I'll bet that if I asked you to explain how electricity works, you would come
up with something between a blank and a sketchy answer. But you're quite
capable of flicking the switch and getting the result called light.
BELIEF #5: PEOPLE ARE YOUR GREATEST
RESOURCE.
Individuals of excellence almost universally have a tremendous sense of respect and
appreciation for people. They have a sense of team, a sense of common purpose and unity.
Look at Japanese business and the conclusion of the book In Search of Excellence by Tom
Peters and Robert Waterman: "There was hardly a more pervasive theme in excellent
companies than respect for the individual." One person, no matter how brilliant, will find it
difficult to match the collaborative talents of an effective team.
BELIEF #6: WORK IS PLAY.
Pablo Picasso once said, "When I work, I relax; doing nothing or entertaining
visitors makes me tired." Mark Twain echoed, "The secret of success is making
your vocation your vacation." That's what successful people do-they enrich their
work by bringing to it the same curiosity and vitality they bring to their play.
BELIEF #7: THERE'S NO ABIDING SUCCESS
WITHOUT COMMITMENT.
If there's a single belief that seems almost inseparable from success, it's
that there's no great success without great commitment. Anna Pavlova once said:
"To follow, without halt, one aim: there's the secret of success." It's just another
way of stating the Ultimate Success Formula-know your outcome, model what
works, take action, develop the sensory acuity to know what you're getting, and
keep refining it until you get what you want.
What do Larry Bird, Pete Rose, Tom Watson, Dan Rather, Michael Jackson
have in common? I like to describe what they do with W.E.I.T. What Ever It Takes
(to succeed).
What if your beliefs are negative, not positive? How do you change beliefs?
You've already taken the first step-awareness. You know what you want. The
second step is action, learning to control your internal representations and beliefs,
learning how to run your brain.

Beliefs are how we turn off and turn on our brain.
We don't know if our beliefs are true or false, so we remind ourselves of that by
humorously calling them "lies."
