Mental Toughness Messages from "Golden Oldy" Books
There are some messages that last. My parents, grandparents and mentors read “mental toughness” books long before the Internet and science provided proof.
I am starting out 2010 with some of their suggestions.
The Power of Positive Thinking and Enthusiasm Makes a Difference (Norman Vincent Peale)
The Greatest Miracle in the World (Og Mandino)
Think and Grow Rich (Napoleon Hill)
Mind work is a lifetime job. These “golden oldies” will be a great addition to my personal development library.
Quote from Thomas Carlyle in The Power of Positive Thinking (1952):
“Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves”.

Hey Peter,
Congratulations on qualifying for the Canadian Tour in 2010.
I think that it is great that you are still persuing your dreams and goals. I was reading your blog and I actually have been reading a book for one of my classes.
The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People.
This book may help you with your mental toughness and drive.
One of the quotes from The Second Habit- Begin With The End In Mind I found very intresting.
"What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matter compared to what lies within us."
OLIVER WENDELL HOMES.
Best of Luck in the upcoming season. Hope to watch you in Calgary again.
