While thinking big is subject to interpretation, it is crucial to employ the faculties of the mind, soul and body that helps in doing just that.
Many times I have heard people use a similar phrase in describing a haughty person saying "He thinks big of himself".
"So for those who are ignorantly modest, they associate lack of achievement with humility, lack of significance with modesty and lack of relevance with superiority."
I have been educated on the need to think big, and it is more than closing your eyes, and thinking (for some, sleeping).
When you learn how to think big, everything you get involved with almost automatically gets a “big” approach.
In fact, when you step into a role temporarily, your outlook in the role exudes your big thinking.
In a Daily Telegraph advert with the same heading “It pays to think big”, Jimmy Hendrix, Barack Obama and Richard Branson all featured. The images are showing exclusively days of small beginnings for achievers in their generation.

Ben was the younger of two brothers whose lives, as young boys were heading in the wrong direction. Their mother (with very little education) turned their lives around by limiting the hours they spend watching TV, encouraging them to read - 2 library books a week and writing reports about the books. It didn't take long before the fruits were evident to all.
Labelled as dumb before, within a year, Ben was on top of his class. He went on to become a world re-known neurosurgeon, and in 1987 made medical histroy with an operation to successfully separate a pair of siames twins.
So I leave you with the "THINKG BIG" concept as laid out by Benn Carson.
Talent: Our Creator has endowed all of us not just with the ability to sing, dance or throw a ball, but with intellectual talent. Start getting in touch with that part of you that is intellectual and develop that, and think of careers that will allow you to use that.
Honesty: If you lead a clean and honest life, you don't put skeletons in the closet. If you put skeletons in the closet, they definitely will come back just when you don't want to see them and ruin your life.
Insight: It comes from people who have already gone where you're trying to go. Learn from their triumphs and their mistakes.
Nice: If you're nice to people, then once they get over the suspicion of why you're being nice, they will be nice to you.
Knowledge: It makes you into a more valuable person. The more knowledge you have, the more people need you. It's an interesting phenomenon, but when people need you, they pay you, so you'll be okay in life.
Books: They are the mechanism for obtaining knowledge, as opposed to television.
In-Depth Learning: Learn for the sake of knowledge and understanding, rather than for the sake of impressing people or taking a test.
God: Never get too big for Him.
