Paul Davies - Training Your Mind To Realize Its Potential

I would like to thank Mr. Paul Davies for giving me the opportunity to be able to write this statement. It is not easy to describe years of fun and respect in a few words.

I have known Paul for 13 years both as a close family friend and as a man of honour and a truly spiritual man.

One of the many sides of Paul that amazes me is his ability to overcome obstacles in life and his will to persevere to pursue his goals in life. Not only is a creative individual, but he is also a person who has become a success in the business field.

As a friend Paul and I often discuss the concept of clearing our bodies from negativity to positivity.

Throughout all the years of knowing him, Paul has had a motivation in helping and supporting children. I suggested to Paul running childrens self-defence classes, he didnt hesitate for a minute and made a decision to use his basement gym as a place to train pupils and as a result more than 5 families came to register including my son. This gentleman has achieved victory upon victory in supporting the community.

I have to mention the other beautiful hobbies of Paul, he is brilliant in gardening and a very good chess player, and it has become a habit whenever I see Paul, that he and I play a game of chess.

I wish Mr. Paul Davies all the best, all the way.

I have known Mr. Paul Davies since 1989. In 1986, he moved to London from North Wales and gradually developed himself and started a letting business in 1989 and joined a partnership in 1990 at Gem Newsagents in Tooting, South London. After 7 years, he left the newsagents partnership and started his own video store.

For the whole time that I have known him, he has run successfully the letting and property purchase business and throughout running the various businesses, he was consistently systematic, organized and energetic.

After achieving his business aims he changed direction in life. He became more spiritual and travelled extensively in the Far East.

I also know that he is involved with various charities all over the world especially in the Philippines.

I have had the great pleasure to have known Paul for over 20 years, I first met him in Gems which was a business shop partnership. From then on we have spent many hours discussing life and its meaning. Paul has always been very positive in his approach to life, setting goals and achieving them and after meeting his goals setting new objectives.

Paul is well travelled and it only takes a moment when speaking with him to understand the depth of his knowledge (first hand) from various parts of the world. His knowledge on most subjects is vast, but its the way in which he interlinks that knowledge which is amazing.

If you have read his first book, The Joy of Hard Work, it soon becomes apparent that he has a vision of what he wants to do, where he is going and what he will do once its achieved. His disciplined manner he attributes to martial arts training, but I believe, he had the discipline before his training and the training only enhanced it.

A Welsh lad arriving in London with very little and through determination goes on to become wealthy. Its often said that wealth is a state of mind, and this is amply demonstrated by Pauls endeavours through all areas of his life.

Having recently re-read his first book, I cannot wait to read the second book and am grateful for all the knowledge and assistance he has afforded me over the years.

Every so often, we have the rare opportunity of meeting someone who stands out from the crowd.

Thats exactly how I felt when I met Paul Davies 12 years ago.

After having become a member of his video store, Paragon Video, I soon realized that this was no ordinary person, and that his vast knowledge would extend far beyond any portrait of life, all the way to some of lifes deep fundamental questions.

Why are we here? What is our purpose? How far would we like to go? these are some of the questions that human beings face at one point or another throughout the course of their existence, and certainly these are some of the questions which have helped shape Pauls extraordinary and unique character.

Incorporating wisdom from some of the greatest Eastern philosophers to some of the greatest and most prominent Western characters and speakers of all time, Paul will take every opportunity to show you diamonds that will move and inspire you to search for your inner gold mine.

This book is the 2nd part of a trilogy. The 1st book, The Joy of Hard Work with a title within the title Neurosis of the Human Condition and the Failure of Materialism, was written at age 39. This book is being written almost 10 years later.

I wish to share that which I have experienced, learnt and uncovered over the last 45 years.

The best way to convey this learning is by telling the condensed story of my life.

I write primarily as a student of the mind and am sharing many of the lessons learnt and benefits derived through my studies in successfully putting various theories into practice.

The work relates invariably to non-thinking and focusing on the present. The condensed life story which is all about the past is hardly ever thought about, but for the purpose of this book there are extensive recollections. There are also many references and encouragements to obtain further knowledge, although when the search for knowledge is complete there is no further need for knowledge and then the learning becomes an unlearning.

I have been helping and advising people both spiritually and materially for 25 years by telling my stories and other peoples stories, sharing quotations, recommending and giving other peoples books and more recently recommending talks and brief biographies of successful people from YouTube. This book is written in the same way that advice is conveyed to people in person.

This book can be considered a compilation of writings, written for the purpose of assisting and encouraging the reader in changing from negative to positive i.e. pulling up many weeds and planting many seeds. Most of these seeds are from the great minds of others, combining profound knowledge and wisdom.

I have been seriously involved in development related studies for just 30 years, but the lessons of life began at the age of 4, when my leg was broken by a school bully in primary school.

A brief summary of my background up to age 39 is given by my friend Asiimwe in the foreword to The Joy of Hard Work:

Paul Davies arrived in London from North Wales the day after his twenty first birthday with a twenty year goal: to be a millionaire by the age of forty. He brought with him 400 in cash, a guitar and the book his father had given him for his twenty-first birthday- Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.

Since then Paul has achieved the majority of his goals, including:

Receiving a Merit Award for the company he worked for after first arriving in London in 1987;

Making a record with the band he was in as guitarist in 1988;

Obtaining his black belt in karate in 1988;

Receiving a joint Business Award with his business partner in 1997 (Area Award) ;

Receiving a Business Award in 2002 for his letting company for Outstanding Customer Care (Regional Award);

Receiving a Business Award in 2003 for his video store- Best Video Store in Great Britain 800-1000 square metres (National Award);
