"Take control of your senses, determine to be happy, and develop a frame of mind that will make you and all those around you happy. It is within your control.” Harry Edelson

Harry Edelson

Understanding the above statement will make your life easy and joyful. I am really inspired by Mr. Edelson’s life and success. Harry’s parents were from Russia and moved to United States before the start of WWI, between 1913 and 1914. He was born in a poor family and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, during the depression years of the 1930s. He is now the director of one of the best technology companies (Edelson Technology Partners), which invested on more than a hundred tech companies all over the world.

He experienced the means of poverty and hunger, which makes his writing exceptional and touches hearts. Reading his words is like cleaning a dirty window, it makes us see the beautiful scenes outside. It’s really amazing to read his life’s full story through his book (Positivity), and how he succeeded at every level of his life.

I have learned from his book to always think positive and be happy by spreading happiness to others. Most people always discuss and think about their problems, instead of finding solutions. Mr. Edelson found out how to handle this, which is his main reason for success.

He stated: “The lesson is that perpetual happiness comes from within. So develop a mindset of positivity.” I think that if people knew how much their own thoughts can change their life, they would never think negatively. We have the power to change anything. In real life, each action has a direct reaction. Whatever you think, it will come back to you.

Harry has summarized his personal life philosophy as: “strive to be happy, work hard, help other people, and focus on solution rather than problems”.

Another inspirational quote from him which really inspires me is: “Learn from the past, but live and learn in the present.”
