DISCRIMINATION Discrimination is FIRST LAW OF SUCCESS. By Oscar Bruce
As author of personal development publications distributed world wide, I am frequently asked why certain people seem to succeed at practically everything they attempt, while others fail no matter how hard they try. My response is "I definitely can tell you, but you're really not going to like answer." But here it is.
Most people spend 97% of their time with wrong people. This fact means your best friend could very well be your worst enemy. It's here that discrimination as a process is essential element that will create success or disappoint.
What ear hears, mouth repeats. In short, you absorb language of people with whom you frequently associate. If language is mundane, and loaded with meaningless clichés and useless figures of speech, soon that is way you will speak. And, it's a well known fact that people judge you by way you speak.
Your mind is like a giant sponge that soaks up everything it hears. Many words that are not favorable to your well being and personal success take residence there. Through a psychological process I call: "Psycho-Semantics," they impose a detrimental influence on your imagination and your vision. Those words will direct your outlook and expectations.
Out there is a beautiful world and beautiful people everywhere. Why clutter it with relationships that don't belong in your life? It's an easy life if you don't let others drag you down. You therefore must break ranks from ordinary people whose language you do not want to become your way of speaking. Treat them like you would a cancer: early detection and swift removal.
Unless you discriminate deliberately and savagely, people around you will engage in conversation about trivia of their latest ailment, their relationship problems, and gossip in form of "I said, and then, she said." Even worse, a generous sprinkling of "isn't it awful" and "pity poor me." If all this sounds all too familiar, you must learn to initiate new conversation topics - topics that cause listeners to perceive you as intelligent and insightful.
