The Secret

"The Secret"(中譯:《秘密--心想事成的方法》)
此書作者為Rhonda Byrne, 因為出了這本極為簡單易懂卻又重要的暢銷書,被《時代》雜誌選為二零零七年最有影響力的人物之一,此書在美國短短一年就賣出八百萬本,台灣在去年中出版之後連印四十三刷.銷售逾三十三萬本.
此書最重要的重點有以下幾點,也可說是美夢成真的步驟:
1. Think clearly about your "available" dreams
2. Use positive words to discribe them
3. Order to the universe
4. Visualize your dreams
5. Try to take the first step to change the current circumstance
6. Feel you've already changed into a future circumstance and think more details
7. Thoughts become things
此書也曾被商業周刊報導過,詳情請參閱商業周刊第1059期封面故事"好事吸引力".
另外,我想實踐願望也得加上時間管理才能相得益彰,所以我也參考了商業周刊第1065期的封面故事"窮忙大解放",並歸納以下重點:
1. Do the 80% important things in 20% limited time
2. Separate things into several categories with quickness or slowness
3. Check your time schedule usually
再者,我想《秘密》一書所講的重點其實也跟東方佛教思想很像,佛教名人聖嚴法師有言:
存好心,做好事,好願在人間,意思就是人要存善心,多做善事與對世界抱持正向的希望,我們希望能美夢成真,雖不一定要對世界發願,但也是要抱持正向的願望才不會招來負面的結果.另外,當我們所希望的事都達到目標了,行有餘力了,就輪到我們回饋社會做好事助人了,有付出才會有收穫嘛!
與各位共勉之!!
