Speeding the Bullet Without Aiming
We have shown you that you have within you the potentialities of success in the form of latent mental energy. We have shown you that your ability to achieve depends upon your ability to utilize to the full your underground mental resources.
But success demands that you do more than merely use all your mental energies. You must use them intelligently.
Why Most Men Fail
Most men fail because they speed the bullet without aiming. They fire at random, and so bag no game.
Your pent-up mental energy is the powder in the cartridge. Its usefulness depends upon the man behind the gun.
To succeed in business you must intelligently control and direct (1) your own mental energies, (2) the mental energies of others.
The course of the average man through life is an aimless zigzag. It has neither direction nor purpose. It represents wasted energy capriciously expended.
Mental energy is like water: it has a tendency to scatter. It is diffusive. It seeks release in a thousand different directions at the same time.
