As a Man Thinking👍 Recommends
…discussing how her father's teachings about mindset and environment shaped her approach to life and business
“My dad taught me to love people who were actively, physically, socially hating me. And I learned something from him that later was epitomized in a couple of lines out of a book called As a Man Thinking. I gained the right to rewrite that book into As a Person Thinking. And what those two lines say is, we think in secret and it comes to pass. Environment is but our looking glass.”

…discussing how her father taught her to reframe negative situations through positive thinking
“And I think it impacted how I look at humanity today. My dad taught me to love people who were actively, physically, socially hating me.

And what those two lines say is, we think in secret and it comes to pass. Environment is but our looking glass.”
