It was once said the people who know their God will do great things, also the saying Know Thy Self which has been used by Ancient Greek Philosophers like Plato could be some of the most profound statements that I would consider as key to the success of people in this day and age. These two statements reveal some of the powerful ideas know to mankind today. Often in the most simple statements lie some of the greatest truths. For example there are basically two ways to look upon a problem, one; a person could view it as the greatest misfortune that has happened to them. But the second way could be seeing it as an opportunity to learn and find success by over coming the problem.

The power in the view-point

So we can see that the way a person views a problem and be the determining factor in what they gain from the situation. If a person was to go to Prince Charles and say you are not a Prince, it would probably have no effect on him as he already knows who he is and the fact that he is in line to be the next King. So it is important to know who you are. Some people have suggested that we are spiritual beings having an earthly experience, and some people feel that we live one sole life and then it all ends. We would note that the two people would live differing lives based on the things that they believe. In the same way if a person believed that they had the ability to achieve great things in life then they would probably achieve much more than the person who believe he or she will achieve nothing in life. So we can see that knowing oneself could have a huge impact on the things that are achieved in life.

Law of Attraction

There is talk of a law called The Law of Attraction, This law suggest that the things that we think about and feel about we tend to attract to us or into our experience. Could this be linked to the idea that we may possibly all have a sixth sense, a psychic sense. For example have you had the experience where you were thinking of a friend or a love one, and the next thing you know is that they either call you on the phone or meet you out of the blue. Could it truly be that we do attract the things that we think and feel about often. May be it might be that the people who are achieving great things in life could perhaps be knowing or unknowingly applying some kind of Universal Law. We know that we all need oxygen to breath if we are to continue living, and also that if we go under the sea could be deprived of oxygen and die. But also the fact that if we were in a submarine we would over come the law that would say that being under the sea could kill us, due to us over coming the sea by virtue of the submarine. So based on this idea that we have the knowledge that submarines exist gives us the power to use them to overcome the under sea world.

Understanding

So imagine someone having a manual which explained all there is in life could be in a position to get far more out of life than they could imagine. So could it be a good idea as Plato said Know Thy Self.
