GET WHAT YOU WANT.
You Can Finally Grasp II If You Are
Persistent and Patient.

You Can Finally Grasp It if You Arc
Persistent and Patient.
Get what you want in this world.
It's here waiting for you. All you have
to do is to reach for it. If you reach
hard enough and far enough and long
enough you'll get it, no matter what it
is you want
Suppose you are foolish enough to
want great wealth. You can get it.
But to get it you must make up your
mind that you want wealth; that you
want it above everything else in the
world.
Observe an Industrious alien with a
pushcart. He" wants $1,000. He sleeps
in a cellar He rises at 4. He works till
10 at night He denies himself food TO
save. Some day he will have his thou
sand dollars.
But" you protest, 81 can't sleep in
a cellar I'm above running a push
cart" Very well, then. There is little
likelihood that you will ever be rich.
There are other things that you want
more than wealth-your comfort, your
social position.
Suppose you are more sensible. Sup
pose that it is success you want Good!
There are few joys in this world that
can compare with the joy Of achieve
ment. Set your mark and start climb
ing toward it. You'll reach it if you
keep at it. Be persistent and be pa
tent. If you are in Maine you can't
wish yourself in California. You can't
get there overnight, either. But you'1l
get there some time if you start and
