Everyone really wants to do something， but there are few that will put forward the needed effort to make the necessary sacrifice to secure it. There is only one way to accomplish anything and that is to go ahead and do it. A man may accomplish almost anything today， if he just sets his heart on doing it and lets nothing interfere with his progress. Obstacles are quickly overcome by the man that sets out to accomplish his heart’s desire. The “bigger” the man， the smaller the obstacle appears. The “smaller” the man， the greater the obstacle appears. Always look at the advantage you gain by overcoming obstacles， and it will give you the needed courage for their conquest.
Do not expect that you will always have easy sailing. Parts of your journey are likely to be rough. Don’t let the rough places put you out of commission. Keep on with the journey. Never sit down and complain of the rough places， but think how nice the pleasant stretches were. View in front of you will delight you.
在紧要关头被委以重任的人通常并不是什么天才，他不比别人拥有更多的天赋，但是他懂得只有坚持不懈地集中精力去做，才能取得成功。商界人士所创造的“奇迹”并非“偶然”。他知道，让奇迹发生的唯一方法就是：找寻新的理念，并领悟它。这也正是有人失败、有人成功的唯一奥妙所在。成功者往往去看已经完成的事物，并且一直抱有成功的信念。而失败者常常会去看失败的事物，因此失败总会降临在他身上。
在我看来，每一个接受过正确训练的人都能够成为成功者。有很多人，他们才华横溢、能力极强，却任自己的才能白白浪费，真可谓是一件令人羞愧的事。我希望有一天，可以看到哪位慈善家出资建造一所学校，来教授那些失败者如何取得成功。我相信，他把钱花在这方面是最明智的选择。在一年的时间里，应用心理学就会在他的身上创造奇迹。他们会发现，自己之所以失败，完全是因为意志力不坚定，经常受到悲伤与不幸经历的困扰，致使自己失去了再战的勇气。
