"Think & Grow Rich"
Chapter 2 (Condensed)


01. Edwin C. Barnes thoughts were those of a king!
02. It had been Barnes' dominating desire for a long time.
(It took years, not weeks or months. Patience is required!)
03. 5 YEARS PASSED before the chance he had been seeking
made its appearance.
04. If you DESIRE MONEY so deeply that your desire is an OBSESSION,
you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it.
You must convince yourself that you will have it.
05. Successful application of the 6 steps calls for sufficient imagination.
06. All people who have accumulated great fortunes first did a certain amount of DREAMING (Visualization), hoping, wishing, desiring, & planning before they acquired money.
07. If you do not see great riches in your imagination,
you will never see them in your bank account.
08. TOLERANCE & AN OPEN MIND are practical necessities
of the dreamer.
09. Henry Ford, was poor & uneducated, but he was not afraid to back his dreams. He became rich & famous as a result.
10. Thomas Edison, put his dream into action, & despite more than 10,000 failures, he stood by that dream until he made it a physical reality.
11. Practical dreamers DO NOT QUIT!
12. Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.
13. No one ever is defeated until defeat has been accepted as a reality.
14. Kindle anew in your mind the fire of hope, faith, courage,
& tolerance. If you have these states of mind, all else that you
need will come to you, when you are ready for it.
15. "Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds."
16. FAITH knows no such word as impossible.
17. BELIEVE in the power of DESIRE backed by FAITH. I have seen
this power lift men from LOWLY BEGINNINGS to places of POWER
& WEALTH.
18. All achievement must begin with an INTENSE BURNING DESIRE
for something definite.
