[Vocabulary] Clarity

[hooshdar3]

Hi.
Brian Tracy has a book named "The power of clarity".

I wonder what clarity he has in mind.I saw a translated version of it(probably illigal), where the translator had translated it as "self-confidence"! .Was she right?

I'm not familiar with the book so I have no idea.

One would probably have to read the book to know what was meant.

Does this from amazon.com help?

Self-confidence is a bad translation. If you can't use "clarity" then try "focus."

Oops!Amazon only gives the CD!Not the book.

Might one translating it as "stating clearly what you want"?

That might be one part of the intended meaning. See post #3.

Does clarity only affect what you want?

 

[hooshdar3]

Does clarity only affect what you want?

No, but I guess only stating clearly your ambitions can have power.Or maybe he meant determination?!

 

[Tdol]

Or maybe he meant clarity in all areas- simply clarity itself, whether talking about ambition or frustration, hope or despair, etc.
