Every failure carries with it the seed of an equivalent or greater reward’. - Napoleon Hill

A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.

But take note: Never express, through words or acts, something that does not harmonize with your beliefs — or you will lose the ability to influence others. I do not believe that I can afford to deceive anyone about anything; but I know that I cannot afford to deceive myself. To do so would destroy the power of my pen. It is only when I write with the fire of enthusiasm that my writing impresses others. It is only when I speak from a heart that is bursting with belief in my message that I can move my audience to accept it.
