在人类思想的门口，一定有一个守门人，而这个守门人就是每个人的潜意识。

我们有能力按照自己的心愿选择思想。

数千年以来，人类就是用自己的思考能力不断地生活、繁衍。有时，思想在我们的头脑里会像受惊的牛羊四处奔逃。这时的思想，看起来根本无法控制。

可事实上并非如此，面对受到惊吓而疲于奔命的羊群，一只牧羊犬可以轻松地把羊群重新赶回羊圈。

我曾经在一部新闻短片中，看到过一只牧羊犬和三只羊的画面。牧羊犬负责看管整个羊群，可是有三只羊心存不满，蓄意抵抗。它们咩咩地叫着，高高抬起前蹄表示自己的不满。然而牧羊犬只是静静地蹲坐在它们前面，并用眼睛紧紧地盯着它们。牧羊犬既没有朝三只羊狂吠，也没有要恐吓它们的意思，它只是用坚定的信念一动不动地注视着这三只羊。没过多久，这三只羊垂着头，乖乖地回到羊圈。

我们可以用牧羊犬的方法来支配自己的思想——依靠文雅的意志力，而不是粗暴的蛮力。

当陷入暴跳如雷、愤怒难耐的状态中时，我们必须要坚定信念来克服它，并一直坚持下去。我们当然不可能一直做到情绪稳定，但是至少你可以把握住言语并坚持告诫自己能够控制住潜意识。这样的话，我们便可以控制眼前的局势了。

你思想的“守门人”决定了你能否在生活中取得成功，分享幸福。“守门人”的作用迟早会在你的言行中体现出来。

很久以前，喇叭便作为一种乐器用来吸引人类的注意力——关注胜利，关注秩序。

当你认识到思想和言语的重要时，你就会养成重视思考和言语的习惯。

丰富的想象力作为心灵的剪刀，会孜孜不倦地剪掉那些乏味的生活琐事。
