The first thing he did with it was turn to the word “impossible” and neatly clip it out of the book.
One of the main weaknesses of the human race is the average person’s familiarity with the word “impossible.”Ī great many years ago Hill purchased a dictionary. “When riches begin to come, they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding all those years.” More than 500 of the most successful individuals this country has ever known told Hill that their greatest success came just one step beyond the point at which defeat had overtaken them. “One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken by temporary defeat.”īefore success comes into your life, you are sure to be met with much temporary defeat and, perhaps, some failure. Know what you want and have the determination to stand by that desire until you realize it. “An intangible impulse of thought can be ‘transmuted’ into its physical counterpart.” “Opportunity has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, often disguised in the form of misfortune or temporary defeat which why so many fail to recognize opportunity.” “What a different story people would have to tell if only they would adopt a definite purpose and stand by that purpose until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession.” Hill learned from years of experience with men that when a man really desires a thing so deeply that he is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to get it, he is sure to win. “Thoughts are things-and powerful things at that when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches or other material objects.”
