Introduction: Thoughts are things. Indeed, thoughts are things, and powerful things when mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire to transform them into wealth or other material objects. Many years earlier, a man named Edwin Barnes had a burning desire to become a business associate of the great inventor Thomas Edison. What started as just a thought became a reality. When that wish flashed in his mind, he didn't know Edison, nor did he have any plans or answers to make it a reality. He didn't even have enough money for a train ticket. All he had was a burning desire. Most would have given up at this point, but Barnes hitchhiked a truck all the way to New Jersey. He introduced himself to Edison and announced his intentions to become Edison's business partner. Thomas Edison later said: "He stood before me like an ordinary man, but something in the expression of his face conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come to seek. I have learned from years of experience that when a man really wants something so deeply that he willing to stake his entire future on one turn of the wheel to win it. I gave him the opportunity he asked for. I saw that he decided to persevere until he succeeded, later events proved that it was no mistake." Although he by no means immediately gave him a partnership that first day, he did give him a role and slowly over the years he became Edison's business partner and an extremely wealthy man. In other words, thought impulses can be turned into material rewards. Three steps from gold. One of the most common causes of failure is the habit of giving up when a temporary defeat overtakes you before success is achieved in anyone's life, failures and temporary defeats are bound to occur all too often success comes only a step away from the point where defeat has overtaken you. You just have to hang on and persevere through those temporary setbacks More than 500 of the most successful individuals America has ever known have told me that their greatest success came just one step away from the point where failure caught up with them failure is a trickster with a sharp irony and cunning it delights in by tripping one up when success is almost at hand. You are the master of your destiny and the captain of your spirit. Everyone has the ability to control their thoughts, therefore they are able to control their destiny. Our brains become magnetized by the dominant thoughts we hold in our minds. Through a path that no one fully understands, these dominant thoughts, like a magnet, attract towards us forces, people, circumstances of life, which harmonize with the nature of our dominant thoughts.

Principle 1: Desire - the starting point of all achievements. It wasn't a hope, it wasn't a wish, it was a strong pulsing desire that overcame everything else, it was determined. This is the first step to wealth. Hill emphasizes that desire is not just wish or hope; it must be a burning desire such that it is an all-consuming obsession backed by determination and persistence. There is a legend about an old commander and his army, which was greatly enumerated. They sailed for miles and reached the shores of the enemy. He ordered his men to land on the beach, but the commander knew that the greatest enemy of all was fear. Inspired by this belief, he eliminated the only possible source of retreat - burn the ships, he ordered. You see the ships burning, that means we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win, we have no choice now, win or lose. To be successful, you must be prepared to burn ships and eliminate all sources of retreat and surrender. Only then will you have a state of mind that is conducive to a burning desire to win. When Barnes visited Thomas Edison, Barnes didn't say, "I'm going to try to get Edison to give me some work." He said, "I'll see Edison and let him know I've come to do business with him." He didn't say, "I'll work there for a few months, and if I don't get support, I'll quit my unfulfilling job." He said, "I will start anywhere and do anything Edison tells me, but before I finish I will be his associate." He did not say, "I will open my eyes to another opportunity if I fail to get what I want in the Edison organization." He said: "There is only one thing in the world that I have decided to have, and that is a business partnership with Thomas Edison. I will burn all the bridges around me and invest my entire future in being able to get what I want." Columbus dreamed of an unknown world, invested his life in the existence of such a world and discovered it. Copernicus, the great astronomer, dreamed of many worlds and discovered them. Marconi dreamed of a system to control the intangible forces of the ether and revealed radio to the world. Dreams are the seeds of reality. No one is ready for something until they believe they can get it. The state of mind must be faith, not just hope or wish. Openness of mind is essential to faith; closed minds do not inspire faith, courage and trust. Remember, it takes no more effort to aim high in life and demand abundance and prosperity than it does to accept unhappiness and poverty. Hill lays out six steps to achieve your desire, which are applied with the other 12 principles. The method by which the desire for wealth can be transformed into its financial equivalent consists of six specific and practical steps:

1. Focusing your mind on the exact amount of money you want. That number cannot be indefinite; must be the correct amount.
2. Determining exactly what you will give in return for that money.
3. Setting a specific date when you want to be in possession of the money.
4. Creating a specific plan to achieve your desire and start immediately.
5. Taking steps one through four and summarizing them into a clear and concise statement of amount, timelines and plan to get there.
6. Read this statement out loud twice a day - when you wake up in the morning and once more before bed. As you read aloud, you must visualize yourself already in possession of that money. Desire will not bring wealth, but desiring wealth with a mental state that becomes an obsession, then planning certain ways and means of acquiring wealth and backing up those plans with a tenacity that admits no failure, will bring wealth.

Here is an example of a written statement:
"By the first of September, I will have $250,000 in my possession, which will come to me in various amounts during the transition period. In return for that money, I will provide the most efficient service possible to me as the founder of startup XYZ. I believe I will have that money in my possession . My faith is so strong that I can see that money in front of me. I expect a plan, and I will implement that plan when I get it."
Customize the written statement to your liking and sign it at the bottom. You will use this written statement when the principle of auto-suggestion occurs.
Creative visualization, as Napoleon Hill instructs, is to see yourself as you will be when you have already achieved your goal. This method is explored in more detail in the principle of auto-suggestion.

The other you - every failure carries with it the seed of an equivalent success. When you only focus on your failures in life, you attract more negativity towards you. Try instead to cultivate a friendship with what Hill calls the other you. You can imagine the other self as an alter ego that does not admit defeat. Make this side of you an ally who shares your goals and desires.

Principle 2: Faith, visualization and belief in the realization of a wish. Faith is the master chemist of the mind. When faith is mixed with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind immediately recognizes the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to the infinite intelligence. Look around at some of the biggest companies in the world; they all started as thoughts in the minds of one or two people. Riches are created every day around you, and those riches started as ideas. Only when you really believe and have faith that you can make your wish come true, you will be ready to do it. Your faith can be developed through continuous affirmations and visualization of your desire. Faith is one of the most powerful positive emotions we have, next to sex and love. Through the power of these three emotions, we are able to reach our subconscious mind. These thoughts can be translated and received by infinite intelligence. In reality, faith is a state of mind that you can cultivate through repeated signals to the subconscious mind. Hill often refers to this practice in the book as auto-suggestion. People eventually become their own thought patterns, and when your thoughts are dominated by positive emotions and a burning desire, all forces are directed towards actions that fulfill that desire.

Strange forces - poverty and wealth are offspring of thought. Your thoughts are like a magnetic force that attracts similar thought patterns that align with yours. Your thoughts begin to become real in the physical world; you manifest reality. Similarly, the subconscious mind cannot distinguish between positive and negative thought patterns. So someone who feels they are doomed to poverty and just fills their subconscious mind with negative thoughts attracts just that. There are millions of people who believe they are doomed to poverty and failure because of some strange force over which they believe they have no control. They are the creators of their own unhappiness because of this negative belief, which their subconscious mind recognizes and translates into its physical equivalent.

Plant seeds - thoughts mixed with any sense of emotion form a magnetic force that attracts from the vibrations of the ether other similar or related thoughts. A thought thus magnetized by emotion may be compared to a seed which, when planted in fertile soil, germinates, grows and multiplies again and again until what was originally only a small seed becomes infinite millions of seeds of the same kind. The main idea is that any idea, goal or purpose can be planted in your subconscious mind through repetition. Again, be careful what you think because the subconscious mind has no way of distinguishing between constructive and destructive thoughts.

Principle 3: Auto-suggestion, a means of influencing the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind only recognizes and acts on thoughts that are well mixed with an emotion or feeling. Auto-suggestion is a vehicle we can use to stimulate and direct our subconscious mind to work for us. How you view the world and yourself is what your subconscious mind adopts. It cannot distinguish between positive and negative thoughts. So if your thoughts are generally negative, your subconscious mind will start working to manifest those negative thoughts into reality. We want to try to wash away these negative thoughts and emotions and replace them with seeds of positive thoughts and emotions. We can achieve this through auto-suggestion. Auto-suggestion is a vehicle we can use to stimulate and direct our subconscious mind to work for us. This process is accomplished by repeating self-suggestions that use the five senses. For our suggestions to the subconscious mind to have an impact, they must first be mixed with emotion. Here's how you can stimulate and direct your subconscious mind:

1. Go to a quiet place, close your eyes and repeat out loud the amount of money you intend to accumulate, the time limit for its accumulation and the description of the service or product you intend to provide in return. For example: "By the first of September, I will have $250,000 in my possession, which will come to me in various amounts during the transition period. In return for this money, I will provide the most effective service that I am capable of providing as the founder of startup XYZ. I believe that I will have this money in my possession. My faith is so strong that I can see this money before me. I expect a plan, and I will carry out that plan when I receive it."
2. Repeat this statement night and morning until you can see in your imagination the money you intend to accumulate.
3. Finally, post a written copy of your statement where you can see it morning and night. Read it right before you go to sleep and again when you wake up until you remember it.
These instructions may seem abstract or even ridiculous at first, and skepticism is normal for all people. Don't let this upset you; stick to the plan, and soon skepticism will be overcome by belief. You will begin to notice how your mind is thinking about how to make more money and everything else less. And through repetition, you voluntarily create thought habits that can influence your subconscious and transform your desire into its monetary equivalent. Reading your statement once is easy; the challenge is to turn these into thought habits through continuous daily repetitions until the desire comes true. Remember, we can't just read a statement once and expect results; we must bombard the subconscious mind with positive thoughts directed towards our desire over time, and we must not allow space for negative thoughts and emotions to develop. Repeating the statement continuously will begin to open the universe to your thoughts; you will have a heightened awareness of the ideas and insights that will come to you in the form of hints and inspiration, and the universe will guide you towards the plan to achieve your desire. Your ability to use the principle of auto-suggestion will depend largely on your ability to concentrate on a given desire until that desire becomes a burning obsession. Repeating the statement continuously will begin to open the universe to your thoughts.

Principle 4: Specialized knowledge. Personal experiences or observations. Wealth is often accumulated by having specialized knowledge. However, knowledge alone does not create wealth. Knowledge becomes power only when it is organized into specific plans of action and directed towards a specific goal. Knowledge can be general or specialized. General knowledge is of little use in the accumulation of wealth. Specialized knowledge of the service or product you intend to provide is required in return for wealth. Hill suggests identifying the specialized knowledge you need for your product or service and then acquiring that knowledge, rather than just working with the current knowledge you have.

Principle 5: Imagination, the workshop of the mind. The impulse, the desire, takes shape, form and action with the help of the imaginative faculty of the mind. If you want to make your wish come true, you must add imagination with specialized knowledge. Two Forms of Imagination, Hill explains, there are two different forms of imagination: synthetic imagination and creative imagination. Our only limitations, within reason, lie in the development and use of our imagination. Synthetic imagination is the organization of concepts and ideas into new combinations. This type of imagination is used predominantly to acquire wealth. Creative imagination is through the use of hints and inspiration to better read the subconscious of others. Great leaders become very good at this kind of imagination. Imagination is like a muscle; both types of imagination become stronger with use and weaker without use.

Infinite intelligence - for the famous psychologist Carl Young, infinite intelligence is the collective subconscious. Psychologists today may refer to infinite intelligence as being in the zone or in a state of flow. For most people, it is difficult to imagine that thoughts can be something tangible. But if everything in the universe is made of matter or energy, and thoughts create energy by sending little packets of photons through the brain, aren't they, surely, something tangible? Do they create little vibrations in the universe? With quantum physics, the quantum world, and theoretical science like string theory, it's never been easier to imagine a world where, in fact, our consciousness is somehow connected to the universe and others around us in ways we don't yet fully understand. Ideas are the starting points of all riches; ideas are products of the imagination.

Principle 6: Organized planning, crystallization of desire into action. Millions of people go through life in unhappiness and poverty because they lack a solid plan by which to accumulate wealth. Our plans are organized and designed in the workshop of our imagination. You should become part of a group, known as a mastermind, team up with like-minded people that you will need to create and implement your plans. Decide in advance what advantages or benefits you will offer other members, whether monetary or otherwise. Meet with the mastermind group at least twice a week until you refine the plan together. Maintain complete harmony between the mastermind members and yourself. Quitting never wins, and a winner never quits. If your first plans fail, replace them with other plans until you find plans that make your wish come true. This principle rewards those who persevere to success and eliminates people who only want success if it is not difficult.

Leaders and followers - there is no shame in being a follower; on the other hand, there is no merit in remaining a follower. Most great leaders started out as followers. They became great leaders because they were intelligent followers. If you find yourself under the guidance of someone else, make sure you take advantage of that opportunity to gain knowledge. The main leadership qualities you need to develop in order to become a leader in your field and gain wealth. However, in the beginning, you may start as an intelligent follower. Napoleon Hill explains the 11 important factors of leadership:

1. Unwavering Courage - No one will follow someone without confidence.
2. Self-control - if you can't control yourself, how can you control others?
3. A keen sense of justice.
4. Decisiveness in decisions - don't second-guess yourself.
5. Determination in plans - plan your work and do your plan.
6. The habit of doing more than you are paid.
7. Pleasant character.
8. Empathy and understanding.
9. Mastery of details - become good at the little things.
10. Willingness to take full responsibility - take responsibility for your mistakes and don't shift the blame to others.
11. Collaboration - ten minds working together are better than one.

In the book, this principle also includes ten negative traits of leaders. However, most of them are just the opposite of the successful leadership traits we just went over. Moreover, if you follow these important leadership factors, you will avoid all these mistakes.

Reasons People Fail - Hill also lists the top 30 reasons people fail in life, which include things like lack of purpose, lack of education, poor health, lack of self-discipline, procrastination, over-cautiousness, lack of capital, and selfishness.

Principle 7: Decision, mastering delay. Procrastination, the opposite of decision, is a common enemy that practically every person must overcome. Procrastination must be conquered for success to flourish. Successful people make certain decisions quickly and are slow to change their decisions. People who fail to accumulate wealth do the opposite, and are often too easily swayed by the opinions of others, close friends and relatives. Although not meaning it, they often handicap one through opinions. Thousands of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them throughout their lives because some well-intentioned but uninformed person destroyed their self-confidence through opinions or ridicule. Be careful when considering the opinions of others; your wish must be your own wish. But if you are easily influenced by others, you will not have your own desire. When you have a specific purpose with a burning desire, you can quickly make decisions in your life and stand behind those decisions. Insecurity is a habit; it may begin to develop in your adolescence and strengthen as you age. Freedom or death on the decision; tell the world what you intend to do, but show it first. Becoming decisive in your decisions takes courage. People who talk too much usually do nothing but talk. Be a doer, not a talker. The book advises you to use your mouth less and your eyes and ears more.

Principle 8: Persistence, the sustained effort necessary to induce faith, desire and will. Persistence is key in turning a desire into its monetary equivalent. When you can combine desire with a strong will, they make a formidable pair. Lack of persistence is very common among people. Without persistence, you will fail before you even begin. People who develop perseverance know that every failure carries with it the seed of an equivalent advantage. For people with perseverance, they know that failures are only temporary and that they will eventually reach their goal. Persistence has a direct relationship with the intensity of your desire. Weak desires produce weak results, just as a small amount of fire creates a small amount of heat. You can fix the lack of persistence by boosting or building a stronger fire under your desire. Poverty Consciousness vs. Money Consciousness: Riches gravitate toward those whose minds are primed to attract them, just as water gravitates toward the ocean. In the absence of money consciousness driven by persistence and desire, poverty consciousness will naturally fill the void. Poverty consciousness will voluntarily take over a mind that is not occupied with money consciousness. Perseverance is a state of mind; therefore it can be developed. Here are eight ways to develop a persistent state of mind:

1. Purpose - Know what you want.
2. Desire.
3. Self-confidence - Believe in your abilities.
4. Certainty of plans - Plans encourage persistence.
5. Accurate knowledge - Guessing destroys persistence, knowledge encourages persistence.
6. Cooperation - Be willing to cooperate with others.
7. Will.
8. Habit - Persistence is a direct result of building daily habits.

Fear of Criticism: People refuse to take risks in business because they fear the criticism that may follow if they fail. The fear of criticism in such cases is stronger than the desire for success. Fear of criticism is the opposite of persistence. Most people allow others to influence their lives so much that the fear of criticism outweighs the will to persevere. The fear of failure becomes stronger than the desire to succeed, and when the fear is greater than the desire, you will fail. Most ideas are stillborn and need to be breathed into life through specific plans for immediate action. Fear of criticism is at the root of the destruction of most ideas that never reach the stage of planning and action. Four steps to develop persistence:

1. A definite purpose backed by a burning desire - knowing exactly what you want and having the desire to achieve it. This cannot be a scale of desire; it must be crystal clear in your mind.

2. A specific plan - A written plan expressed in continuous action.

3. A mind closed to negativity - A mind that rejects negative thoughts and influences.

4. Fellowship with other like-minded people - Share encouragement and purpose. Developing perseverance will allow you to control your financial destiny.
Principle 9: The Power of the Mastermind, Harnessing Collective Intelligence and Synergy. The power of the Mastermind is the principle of the combined knowledge, skills and resources of a group of like-minded people. By collaborating with others who share similar goals and aspirations, you can accelerate your progress and achieve greater success than you could on your own. Success is not just an individual endeavor but a collaborative effort based on synergy and mutual support.

Principle 10: The Mystery of Sexual Energy Transmission, the tenth step to wealth. Sexual desire, the word transmission means the change or transfer of one element or form of energy to another. Sexual desire is the most powerful of all human desires, and when you manage to channel this energy, it can be directed towards developing acuity of imagination, courage, will, perseverance, creativity and accumulation of wealth. Genius develops through the sixth sense. The transmission of sexual energy will raise you to the level of a genius. Note that just having this energy is not enough; this energy must first be transmitted from the desire for physical contact to another desire, such as art, literature, or the accumulation of wealth, before genius status is attained. Mind Stimulant: A mind stimulant is anything that makes your mind vibrate at a higher frequency and gives you enthusiasm, creativity and intense desire. The motivational power of sex is stronger than any other stimulus, and it can raise your mind to a higher level, which could not otherwise be reached. Other stimuli include love, the burning desire for fame, the desire for power, music, friendship, the Mastermind Alliance, mutual suffering, autosuggestion, fear, drugs and alcohol. When left to its own devices, sexual energy can become harmful, uncontrolled, and even destructive. However, if it is guided by the emotions of love and romance, it becomes a motivational tool.

Principle 11: The subconscious, the connecting link. The subconscious works day and night and consists of a field of consciousness in which every thought impulse, positive or negative, reaches the mind through any of the five senses and is classified and recorded. These records can be called up at a later time to recall thoughts. The subconscious is the connecting link between the finite mind of man and the infinite intelligence. She is the intermediary through which she can draw upon the forces of infinite intelligence at will. You can think of your subconscious mind as the gateway to infinite intelligence. You cannot completely control your subconscious; however, you can plant seeds within it to help you achieve your desires and goals. The subconscious mind will then begin to act on your burning desires and manifest them in their physical form. She is more susceptible to thoughts mixed with feelings and emotions. Negative emotions automatically find their way into your thoughts, and positive emotions need to be deliberately inserted into the mind through auto-suggestion. Positive and negative emotions cannot simultaneously occupy the mind; one or the other must dominate. It is your responsibility to make sure that positive emotions form the dominant influence of your mind. The main positive emotions are desire, faith, love, sex, enthusiasm, romance and hope. The main negative emotions are fear, jealousy, hatred, revenge, greed, superstition and anger. If you repeatedly fill your mind with positive emotions through auto-suggestion, there will be no room for negative emotions to flourish.

Principle 12: Brain, station for transmitting and receiving thoughts. The brains of every human being are like transmitting stations capable of receiving the vibrations of thought, which are sent by other brains. The creative imagination is foreign to receiving; our subconscious is the sending party. To send your message to the universe, autosuggestion is used. These vibrations are like intangible forces around us that govern our lives and are completely invisible. The power of your mind is like the invisible forces of gravity; we can't see it or touch it, but we know it's there.

Principle 13: The sixth sense, the door to the temple of wisdom. This principle is the pinnacle of philosophy and can only be applied when you have mastered all the other principles. Through this principle, you can access infinite intelligence without any effort or demand. The sixth sense is the part of the mind that provides you with insights and guidance towards your desires in the form of hints and inspiration, and can be better understood through meditation and mental development from within. With a sixth sense, you'll be alerted to impending dangers to avoid and gain advance insight into opportunities to embrace. The sixth sense can be considered a guardian angel who will always open the door to the temple of wisdom for you.

Epilogue: How to trick the six spirits of fear. There are six basic fears that all people face at some point in their lives: fear of poverty, fear of criticism, fear of ill health, fear of losing love, fear of old age, and fear of death. In order to be successful and achieve your desires, you must first eliminate three enemies from your life: indecision, doubt and fear. If these negative elements are present in your mind, they will suppress the sixth sense and separate you from infinite intelligence. These enemies are closely related and conspire to infiltrate your mind. Indecision comes from fear, indecision creates doubt, and when the two combine, they create fear. When you give in to fear, you allow other people to guide your decisions and negative opinions to influence you. You must think and act for yourself. You cannot control most things in life, but there is only one thing that you have absolute control over, and that is your mind. Either you control your mind or it controls you. The most practical of all methods of controlling the mind is the habit of keeping it occupied with a definite purpose supported by a definite plan. People who fail have one characteristic in common: they know all the reasons for failure and have what they believe to be impenetrable alibis to explain their lack of achievement. But you can't use your alibis to pay for things, and no one cares about all the reasons you failed. The world wants to know only one thing: have you achieved success? If I had money, if I had a good education, if I didn't have a wife and family, if I could get a job, if I only had time, if times were better, if the economy was better, if I got a chance in life, if other people were not against me , that I'm just younger, that I can do what I want, that I'm born rich, that I can meet the right people, that I just have my options, that I can take something, that I just get a break, and so on and so forth. The worst part is that people cling to these alibis because they created them, and the person's alibi is a figment of their own imagination. It is human nature to defend one's own mind child.

How you can get started with Think and Grow Rich:
1. Have a burning desire: What do you want to achieve in your life, be it money or something else? Weak desires bring weak results, so what is your burning desire? Make your wish your own; don't live someone else's wish. That's your first step.
2. Create a clear written statement following the six steps we covered in the summary. Don't hesitate if you don't have all the details or answers right now on how to make that wish come true, just start now.
3. Start using auto suggestion in the morning and at night. Start planting the seed of your desire in your subconscious mind. Wash away all your negative thought patterns, replace them with a state of money awareness. We want our subconscious mind to work in harmony with us, not against us. And don't forget that empty minds create poverty consciousness.
4. Look for the specialized knowledge you need to make your wish come true. Remember nothing is free in this life, so what will you give in return for the money you want? Commit to seeking out the knowledge you need that suits your burning desire. Will you find specialized knowledge on Instagram, Facebook, Netflix? Most likely not, so make sure you spend more time on this specialized knowledge and less time on useless cat memes.
5. Work on your creative imagination muscles. If you can't vividly imagine your desire, how do you expect to achieve it? You have to mix your auto suggestion with this creative imagination. You see the money in your bank account, you see yourself already living that desire. Make sure you visit that place in your mind regularly.
6. Use persistence. Use the eight ways we've covered to build a state of persistence and persevere until your desire comes true.

7. Don't forget that if you are a person who finds it difficult to make decisions easily, this can contribute to your failures in life. Look at the people around you who end up living life in ways they never wanted to live, and it's only because they fell into the habit of indecision. Your decision making should be in line with your burning desire, so if someone asks you to do something out of line, just say no. Get used to saying no more often, unless it's an emphatic yes.
8. You can achieve your desire faster by forming a mastermind, through positive mind stimuli, or through sexual desire, which is the most powerful mind stimulus. If you can harness this energy and not always look for it in physical form, you can channel that energy towards your burning desire. Hill may be referring to what some people today consider the benefits of the "nofap" theory, which are increased awareness, greater concentration, lower stress levels, reduced laziness, etc. Think of all of these as your rocket thrusters to give you more speed. Any of the seven positive emotions we've covered is fuel for your subconscious mind, and will keep the seven negative emotions as little as possible out of your mind.
9. When you master all those steps, your belief in yourself to achieve your desire will grow, your ability to communicate with infinite intelligence will increase, and whether you want to believe in infinite intelligence or sixth sense is up to you. You can look at it in the supernatural sense that Napoleon Hill alludes to, or you can look at these concepts as a heightened state of mind where our thoughts actively seek solutions to problems that need to be solved in order to achieve your burning desire.
At the end, I would like to remind you that life is like a chessboard, and the player opposite you is time. If you hesitate before moving or neglect to move promptly, your move will be erased over time. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate indecision. You have the privilege of creating in your mind a burning desire; no one can judge her, no one can take her away from you. There is no penalty for creating a desire, but for having no desire in life, the price is failure. The reward is worth your effort. Will you start?
