The Thought Factor in
Achievement

All achievements, whether in the business, intellectual,
or spiritual world, are the result of definitely
directed thought. |

As You
Think
As You Are
All that a man achieves and all
that he fails to achieve is the
direct result of his own
thoughts.
A
man's weakness and strength,
purity and impurity, are his
own, and not another man's; they
are brought about by himself,
and not by another; and they can
only be altered by himself,
never by another. His condition
is also his own, and not another
man's.

A
strong man cannot help a weaker
unless that weaker is willing to
be helped, and even then the
weak man must become strong of
himself; he must, by his own
efforts, develop the strength
which he admires in another.
None but himself can alter his
condition.

It
has been usual for men to think
and to say, "Many men are slaves
because one is an oppressor; let
us hate the oppressor."
Now, however, there is amongst
an increasing few a tendency to
reverse this judgment, and to
say, "One man is an oppressor
because many are slaves; let us
despise the slaves."

Good thoughts and actions can
never produce bad results; bad
thoughts and actions can never
produce good results. This is
but saying that nothing can come
from corn but corn, nothing from
nettles but nettles.
