Crystallize your thinking – Determine what specific goal you want
to achieve. Then dedicate yourself to its attainment with unswerving
singleness of purpose, the trenchant zeal of a crusader.
Develop a plan for achieving your goal, and a deadline for its
attainment – Plan your progress carefully; hour by hour, day by day,
month by month. Organized activity and enthusiasm are the wellsprings
of your power.
Develop a sincere desire for the things you want in life – A
burning desire is the greatest motivator of every human action. The
desire for success implants “success consciousness,” which in turn
creates a vigorous and ever-increasing “habit of success.”
Develop supreme confidence in yourself and your own abilities –
Enter every activity without giving mental recognition to the
possibility of defeat. Concentrate on your strengths instead of your
weaknesses… on your powers, instead of your problems.
Develop a dogged determination to follow through on your plan,
regardless of obstacles, criticism, or circumstances or what other
people say, think or do – Opportunities never come to those who wait;
they are captured by those who dare to attack.

Enslavement
In the absence of clearly-defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily trivia until ultimately we become enslaved by it.
Robert Heinlein
Go Ahead and Do the Impossible
Tain't the things we
don't know that
makes us so ignorant.
It's the things we know.
That ain't so
most of us dislike
changes and we oppose
them in most cases.
Every improvement ever
made was done so reluctantly
Nothing new is considered
practical or possible
until someone with
broader vision than
our own
does the things that
can't be done
and gets better results
by methods that won't work
Little Lulu Comic Strip circa 1959
Change
We must become the change we want to see
Mahatma Gandhi
Yearning
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up the men to gather the wood, divide the work, and give the orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea.
