{UAH} eBOOK ONE: "As A Man Thinketh"
As a Man Thinketh by James Allen is one of the grandaddies of self-help literature. This bestselling classic was published as a literary essay, and its title comes from a verse in the Bible: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he," which is basically saying: "All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts." Allen, who's like the OG Tony Robbins, pulled from many areas of philosophy and faith to compile his groundbreaking tract.
James Allen's As a Man Thinketh reminds us that our thoughts control our actions and mold who we are as a person. Good and generous thoughts bring about good and generous actions. Thoughts of greed and covetousness show themselves in selfish and paranoid behavior. Feed your mind on healthful thoughts and happiness and success will follow. Mind is the Master power that molds and makes, And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills, Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills: - He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass: Environment is but his looking-glass.
This short essay is a swift and highly motivating read. Its poetic style makes it sing along - and no matter how hard a man's heart, this little gem is sure to affect him. As a Man Thinketh is old school "positive thought" meditation in written form, meant to be read again and again for inspiration. Lastly, this book was the inspiration for the 2006 film "The Secret," which restates Allen's notion that man (or "woman" or "person") is literally what he or she thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.
very high education. We can call Obote all bad names we have, but the bottom line remains that he got more scholarships for Buganda than all previous Uganda leaders combined. That includes Sir Edward Mutesa, President Lule, President Binayisa, up to and into Ssabasajja Mutebi. Who all happen to be Baganda leaders." Mulindwa
