Catch up with your good!This is a new way of saying,“Before they call, I will answer.”

But how to catch up with your good?For you must have ears that hear, and eyes that see, or it will escape you.

Some people never catch up with their good in life；they will say,“My life has always been one of hardship, no good luck ever comes to me.”They are the people who have been asleep to their opportunities；or through laziness, haven't caught up with their good.

A woman told a group of friends that she had not eaten for three days. They dashed about asking people to give her work；but she refused it. She explained that she never got up until twelve o'clock, she liked to lie in bed and read magazines.

She just wanted people to support her while she read“Vogue”and“Harper's Bazaar.”We must be careful not to slip into lazy statesof mind.

Take the affrmation,“I am wide awake to my good, I never miss a trick.”Most people are only half awake to their good.

Think of the irresistible power of thought with clear vision. Many people are in a fog most of the time, making wrong decisions and going the wrong way.

Working with spiritual law, we are bringing to pass that which already is.

出奇制胜！出奇制胜从一个全新的角度来看，是指“在别人还没有提出问题之前，你就已经知道了答案”。

不过，用什么办法才能做到出奇制胜呢？首先，你一定要时刻保持耳朵警惕、眼神集中，不然，机会便会瞬间消失。

有些人一辈子都是循规蹈矩，更不用说出奇制胜了。他们会辩解说：“我的一生历尽了艰辛，我从来就没遇到过什么好运气。”这样的人实际上已经错过了所有机会。因为懒惰，他们根本找不到出奇制胜的机会。

曾经有位女士向自己的朋友求助，她说自己已经整整三天没吃东西了。听到这里，朋友们赶忙四处帮她找工作，但她不愿意去工作。她解释说：“每天不到中午十二点，我绝不会起床。我喜欢躺在**看杂志。”

她只希望在自己欣赏时尚杂志和购物杂志时，有人能让她衣食无忧。这是多么荒谬的想法啊！我们一定要严防这种懒惰的想法产生。

树立这样一个坚定的观念：“为了眼前的机遇时刻作好准备，我将永远不会错过任何一个机会。”然而，大多数人并没有好好利用出奇制胜的潜能，甚至只能说是囫囵吞枣罢了。

我们要用清晰的头脑来看待这不可抵挡的思想力量。大部分人因为长期处在一种混沌的状态中，导致他们错误不断，与成功渐行渐远。

只要掌握了出奇制胜的原则，我们便可以把握眼前的一切机会。
