后记

"Daydreaming again, Barb? You'll never achieve anything if you spend your time that way! Can't you find something useful to do?" Many youngsters have heard words like those from their parents.And until recently this hostile attitude towards daydreaming was the most common one.Daydreaming was viewed as a waste of time.Or it was considered an unhealthy escape from real life and its duties.But now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming.
The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be.Industrialist Henry J.Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming.He maintained that "you can imagine your future." Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse.The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor.For these notable achievers,it appears that their daydreams came true.
Can you use purposeful daydreaming to shape your own future? Why not try? Choose a time when you can be alone and undisturbed.Close your eyes,to permit your imagination to soar more freely.Now picture yourself-as vividly as possible-the way you want to be.Remember to picture your desired goals as if you had already attained them.Go over all the details of this picture.See them clearly and sharply.Impress them strongly on your memory.The resulting memory traces may start affecting your everyday life.They will help lead you to the attainment to your goals.
