Default Simple Mentality for Great Success

“ Yes. The German Mentality is all about concentration and discipline.
You have to fight in the game for 90 minutes or more. That is the German Mentality”
- Berti Vogts, German football great

“Why should I adopt the German mentality?”

“What is so special about their (Germany) mentality?”

“Everyone develops the kind of mentality that suit him/her”

“I don’t think the German Mentality can change anything”

“Forget about it. You can’t tell me to adopt another’s country mentality. What about me own country’s?”

“Is it only the Germans That has good mentality?”

The ‘critics’ in your head might give you one of these messages when
reading the headline and the beginning quote by Berti Vogts.

Look my dear, Listen up!

Don’t allow those critics to close you mind to what I’m about to tell you.

“Germany is not the most glamorous country. The people are not the most wonderful people.
Neither is their mentality the most success- attractive minds in the world”.

YOU ARE YOU RIGHT.
But…
OPEN your MIND and listen up!

The German mentality is subtle and unique, so well connected to the attainment of all life accomplishments.
The kind of mentality we all need to sky-rock and bullet-proof our way to great and greater achievements.
The mentality that accompanies with a binding POWER and FORCE that can break any yoke of failure and struggle.

(Please re-read the beginning quote once or twice before proceeding)

Adopting the German Mentality is developing two outstanding habits,
which is CONCENTRATION and DISCIPLINE, then mixing it up with
DETERMINATION (fighting till the end).
(Know this formula well)

CONCENTRATION is the vital habit we all need for achievement.
Without concentration problems and circumstances will distract and knock you off your feet.
Concentration eliminate a whole lot of FEAR.
Concentration is focusing or putting you mind deeply on what you are doing.
Avoid distraction of any kind. Don’t allow anyone push you around.
KEEP YOUR FEET on achieving you goal and purpose.

DISCIPLINE. If you don’t discipline yourself enough you will be enslave by your emotion.
Lack of self-control can destroy any good dream.

Discipline is STANDING ALONE on the thing you know to be true, when the world
is trying to confuse and deceive you. (Read it again).
Discipline is SAYING NO even when everyone (including your inner critics)
tells you to say yes.
It takes a lot of overlooking, forgiving, sacrifice and effort to become discipline.

Evaluate very thoughts and words before talking ACTION.

Don’t do things because you FEEL LIKE do things because you NEED TO
and you know the REWARD of it.

PLUS DETERMINATION. You have to fight in the game for 90 minutes or more. That is the German Mentality.
Never say NEVER until they blow the final whistle. There is still HOPE for you no matter the situation. There is always a way out.

Don’t give up (Don’t commit suicide). There is no problem without a solution.
You only fail when you QUIT.
Try to see the end. The end is not failure, but SUCCESS.

Adopt the GERMAN MENTALITY today.

To your Success. Love Ya!

My neither, I'm certainly not that way.

It turn out that the character traits don't differ that much from country to country amoung western nation.
The differences between professions are far greater.

There are problems without solutions, that is something that you can prove mathematically.
