Excerpt from Anthology It is a true fact that nine-tenths of the human race either are not intelligent enough to know, or fail to wake-up to the great fact of life - personality. When they do wake-up on the right side, they perceive that the most important person in the world is not the King, or the Pope, or the Prime Minister, or any Officer of State or Church, or the Nobility or anybody else, but just - "self." Some may say but this is no more than a "swelled-head." But it is not - rightly understood. It is quite true. Listen! No one ever will think so much of you as you will; no one is so interested in you as yourself; and your own estimation must be appreciated at its true value. Whatever you most desire you can have, for in the development of your ability, your desires will frame themselves within measurable size, and with a correct understanding of your desires will come a realisation of your power to obtain things. Honour, power, riches, may come to you unearned and uninvited, but they will not serve you unless you earn them, and if you do not earn them, you will lose them again. The whole power of a man lies within himself. You may be one of a hundred-thousand workers in some large city doing what may seem trivial, menial work, where there seems no reason for any initiative or enthusiasm. But do not face life like that, for far too many of the human swarm do this. You just pull yourself together and look life squarely in the face, and if your present circumstances are not all that you desire, then try to make them better. Your life will always be what you want it to be - it will always be what you deserve, no more, no less. Absolute justice will follow you all the days of your life. This is the law, not the law of the land, but the moral law - God's own law. Then put your undivided attention on your thoughts, words, acts. Make them "tell." Put your whole mind into your work - your whole ability - your whole strength. Enthusiastic work is joy work - you feel the thrill of life along your "keel." Enthusiasm robs life of all monotony.
