A man should conceive of a legitimate purpose in his heart, and set out
to accomplish it. He should make this purpose the centralizing point of
his thoughts. It may take the form of a spiritual ideal, or it may be a
worldly object, according to his nature at the time being; but whichever
it is, he should steadily focus his thought forces upon the object which
he has set before him. He should make this purpose his supreme duty, and
should devote himself to its attainment, not allowing his thoughts to
wander away into ephemeral fancies, longings, and imaginings. This is the
royal road to self-control and true concentration of thought. Even if he
fails again and again to accomplish his purpose (as he necessarily must
until weakness is overcome), the strength of character gained will be the
measure of his true success, and this will form a new starting point for
future power and triumph.

fourth human endowment-independent will-that really makes effective
self-management possible. It is the ability to make decisions and choices
and to act in accordance with them. It is the ability to act rather than
to be acted upon, to proactively carry out the program we have developed
through the other three endowments. Empowerment comes from learning how to
use this great endowment in the decisions we make every day.

The person who starts out simply with the idea of getting rich won't
succeed; you must have a larger ambition. There is no mystery in business
success...If you do each day's task successfully, and stay faithfully
within these natural operations of commercial laws which I talk so much
about, and keep your head clear, you will come out all right.
