46. Master the art of public speaking. There are few natural speakers. One great trial lawyer
stammered dreadfully but through courage and strength of conviction, he developed into
a brilliant orator. Role model anyone you think is a highly effective, influential
communicator. Visualize a picture of this person. Stand like him, smile like him, and talk
like him. The results will startle you.


47. Seek out motivational speakers committed to character training and lifelong success.
Make it a point to attend inspirational lectures each month to consistently renew the
importance of personal growth in your mind. In a two hour seminar, you can learn
powerful techniques and strategies that others have spent many years learning and
refining. Never feel that you have no time for gathering new ideas, you are investing in
yourself.


48. Read the wonderful book "Discovering Happiness" by Dennis Wholey. It will certainly
open up new horizons for you in your quest for an optimal state of health and happiness.


49. To enhance your concentration, read a passage in a book you have never explored. Then
try to recite it verbatim. Practice this for only 5 minutes a day and enjoy the results which
follow after a few months of effort.


50. Try entering a 5 km running race and then a 10 km event. The adrenaline that flows from
the experience of racing with several hundred other fitness-minded people is exhilarating.
By constantly pushing the envelope of your capacity, your potential will quickly unfold.
Remember, the body will give you only what you ask of it.
