In my attempt to get my Human Mind book published, I am in contact with Penquin - Random House in New York city, Dorrance Publishing in Pittsburg and the Etobicoke office of John Wylie & Sons (Canada). I am also sending snail mail letters to Marilyn Thomson of the rich and famous Thomson family in Toronto.
I am using snail mail instead of emails. My motive, in part, --- is to separate myself from the horde of other letters [emails] that these companies receive every day.
The other part of my motive is to force myself to move forward in my efforts to get my book published. If I fail it will be up front for all to see. This situation should help to motivate me to be more successful.
The other aspect of this endeavor involves the emotion of fear. When trying to overcome the fear of failure, it is important to take small steps. One could compare that journey to climbing a ladder. If you try to skip one or more of the steps there is a good chance that you will fall down and fail.
My achievement is two-fold in nature. The most important achievement is to get my ideas about how the human mind functions accepted. The ancillary achievement is to get the book published.
In a commercial for an upcoming movie Sylvester Stalone says: --- "It is not how hard you can hit someone else. It is how hard can you be hit and still move forward." I am trying to continue to move forward.
