Every person has the power of dreaming. I believe that
if someone truly wants something in his/her life and he/she is ready to stand
behind their desire it will surely come in the form of success. He who are in
this race of riches should be encouraged to know that this changed world in
which we live is demanding new ideas, new ways of doing things, new leaders,
new inventions, new methods of teaching, new methods of marketing, new books,
new literature, new features for television, new ideas for moving pictures.
Back to all this demand for new and better things, there is one quality which
one must possess to win, and that is definiteness
of purpose, the knowledge of what one wants, and a burning desire to possess it.
We
who desire to accumulate riches should remember the real leaders of the world
always have been men who harnessed, and put into practical use, the tangible,
unseen force of unborn opportunity, and have converted those forces (or
impulses of thought) into skyscrapers, cities, factories, airplanes,
automobiles, and every form of convenience that makes life more pleasant.
In planning to acquire your share of riches, I want to
tell you that let no one influence you to scorn the dreamer. To win the big
stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers
of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value,
the spirit which serves as the life-blood of our own country—your opportunity
and mine, to develop and market our talent.
If
the things you wish to do is right, and you
believe in it, go ahead and do it! Put your dreams across, and never mind
what “ they” say if you meet the temporary defeat, for “they” perhaps, do not
know that every failure brings with it seeds of an equivalent success.
Thomas
Edison dreamed of a lamp that could be operated by the electricity, began where
he stood to put his dream into action, and despite more than ten thousand
failures, he stood by that dream until he made it physical reality. Practical dreamers do not quit!
Whelan dreamed of a chain of cigars stores,
transformed his dream into action, now the united cigars stores occupy some of
the best corners of the America.
The Wright brothers dreamed of a machine that could
fly through the air. Now one may see the evidence all over the world that they
dreamed soundly.
Marconi dreamed of a system for harnessing the
intangible forces of the ether. Evidence that he did not dreamed in vain may be
found in every radio and television set in the world. It may interest you to
know that Marconi’s “friends” had him taken into the custody, and examined in a
psychopathic hospital, when he announced he had discovered a principle though
which he could send messages through the air, without the aid of wires or other
direct physical means of communication. The dreamers of today fare better.
In last I just want to say that, This world is filled
with an abundance of opportunity which the dreamers of the past never knew!
