THOUGHTS ARE THINGS


Truly, "thoughts are things," and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness and tenacity of purpose, persistence, diligence, and a burning desire for their translation into riches, or other material objects.

Whatever it is, becomes insignificant when it is compared with the greater asset he acquired in the form of definite knowledge that an intangible impulse of thought can be transmuted into material rewards by the application of known principles.

Psychologists have correctly said that "when one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.

Subsequent events proved that no mistakes was made."

The illustration of Barnes and Mr. Edison clearly proved to us that a desperate thoughts emerges greatness.

Barnes was so desperate to go into business with Edison, and he said "I will accomplish this end if it takes the remainder of my life." He meant it! What a different story men 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!


One of the most causes of failure is the habit of quitting when one is overtaken with temporary defeat. Every person is guilty of this mistake at one time or another.

A certain uncle R.U Darby probably commence on a project to dig gold and grow rich. But while drilling seems to become an endless task for them and encountering some machinery faultiness while all seems to be proved abortive and unavailing. They decided to quit while they handed over the project to another to a junk man after selling their machinery to them a few hundred dollars. The junk man told his engineers to make some calculations and they work on their weaknesses and realized that it would take just three feet from where the Darby's had stopped drilling! That is exactly where it was found!


Before success comes in any man's life, he is to meet with much temporary defeat, and perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do. Failure is a trickster with a keen sense of irony and cunny. It takes great delight in tripping one when success is almost within reach. No does not necessarily mean no. Experience was a blessing in disguise. It teach you to keep on keeping on, no matter how hard the going may be.

Stop studying failure in search of knowledge that may lead to success. Why don't you convert defeat into stepping stones of opportunity.

One of the main weakness of mankind is the average man's familiarity with the word "impossible."

Success comes to those who become success conscious.
Failure comes to those who indifferently allow themselves to become failure conscious.

Another weakness found in altogether too many people is the habit of measuring everything, and everyone, by their own impressions and beliefs. You cannot think and grow rich because your thought habits have been steeped in poverty, want, misery, failure, and defeat.

Learn from the language of Henry Ford

He told his engineers to build an engine with the entire eight cylinders cast in one block and to produce a design for the engine.
The engineers responded him with the word impossible.
Ford said, "Produce it anyway."
"But, "they replied, "it's impossible!"
"Go ahead,"Ford commanded,"and stay on the job until you succeed, no matter how much time is required."

The engineers went ahead and started the project but returned back to him with the word "impossible!"

"Go right ahead,"said Ford, "I want it, and i will have it."
They went ahead, and then, as if by a stroke of magic, the secret was discovered.

Before accumulating great riches in great abundance, we must magnetize our mind with intense desire for riches, that must become "money conscious" until the desire for money drives us to create definite plans for acquiring it.


Principles that can change your destiny

Maintain a spirit of open-mindedness, and remember that those great people highlighted above are invention of no one man. The principles have worked for many men. You can put them to work for your own enduring benefit.

Imagine the possibility of Henry Ford emerging his way to greatness, but with little schooling, without a dollar, with no influential friends, rose to great heights.

Convert ideas into money, start from scratch, without finances, and recoup your losses.


Paul perspective

Indeed, thoughts are things. I will personally like to expatiate more about the word thought.
We can simply refer the word thought to ideas or arrangement of ideas that result from thinking. Thought is a fundamental human activity. Thoughts are the result or product of either spontaneous or willed act of thinking.

The word thought comes from the Old English Þoht, or geÞoht, from stem of Þencan "to conceive of in the mind".

The primary source of success is usually in the thoughts. A weak thought will generate a weak destiny. Meaning, a weak achievements.

The book of proverb clearly stated it that "The way a man think in his heart, so shall he be".

This implies that thought = greatness and greatness is in the heart. Meaning that the first place to cultivate greatness in life is in your mind (thought and heart). I will express more when we get to power of the master mind.
A restricted thought will be limited in pursuit. What you can accomplish in your thought, you can achieve in reality. There is no success without a quality thought.
Don't let us deceive our self, it is easier to think something, to say something than to process it in the realm of the reality. A man can pass the first stage of success which is thought but may also fail in the second stage which is process.
An attempt to quit easily is a sure assurance that you can not emerge greatness. Quitters don't win. They are merely a looser.

Things are born(created) from the unseen realm of thought and are practically feasible into the realm of the seen(universe).
Thoughts are greatness.

Don't be ignorant of misinterpreting day-dreaming with thinking.

Specifically in every field of life that you are in, think.
The universe were filled with men who traveled into the unseen world of thought to discovered new secrets and mystery and return back to delivered their unveiling hidden treasures of secrets and unseal the unknown mystery of knowledge into practical facts.
They are men who arise in the morning and look into their primitive environment to see what next to be done. They think of what should be done that is not done, and not just satisfy with the present technology the universe have.
If scientist were satisfy, what will we have today? Never desire to become an experts but always crave to make a difference. The universe need you in its development. Try to replenish the earth. Make an impact in your own generation.

Take up new projects and start developing them.

To those who believe that hard working is step to riches, you are wrong because there are laborers out there who are really hard working but weak in thoughts. They are dreamless. Firstly become hard working in your thoughts.
Riches begin with a state of mind, with definiteness or tenacity of purpose, with little or no hard work. A man that is poor is not a man that has no money but a man without dream.
You, and every other person, ought to be interested in knowing how to acquire that state of mind which will attracts riches. I spent twenty-five years in research because I, too, wanted to know "how wealthy men become that way."

Above all, thought is the rung of a ladder that elevates people to the top(height).

What have you cultivated in your thought? Impossibility?
