"Believe and Achieve" by W. Clement Stone. The following is an excerpt from the book: TO SUCCEED YOU MUST BE WILLING to PAY the PRICE

Sorry it's been so long since I've put anything on this blog. I've been sick in bed for the past week with a stomach virus which has not been very much fun. However I'm feeling much better and wanted to talk little bit about the book "Believe and Achieve" by W. Clement Stone. The following is an excerpt from the book:

Preface

TO SUCCEED YOU MUST BE WILLING to PAY the PRICE

Every normal person has a brain and nervous system and he is, therefore, endowed with great mental capacities. Few of them, however, use and develop their natural abilities sufficiently to reach the many goals they could achieve. Most people simply are willing to pay the price: the effort of learning the art of motivation with a positive mental attitude (PMA).
You can be different.
You can develop your abilities to the fullest...
If you are motivated to pay the price.
Specifically, you must be willing to make regular investment in study, thinking, and planning time followed up by action. Work, in other words. There is no substitute. It will be an effort. You will not have everything you want next week. You will make sacrifices.
