500 To put away aimlessness and weakness, and to begin to think
501 with purpose, is to enter the ranks of those strong ones who
502 only recognize failure as one of the pathways to attainment;
503 who make all conditions serve them, and who think strongly,
504 attempt fearlessly, and accomplish masterfully.
505 Having conceived of his purpose, a man should mentally
506 mark out a straight pathway to its achievement, looking
507 neither to the right nor to the left. Doubts and fears should
508 be rigorously excluded; they are disintegrating elements
509 which break up the straight line of effort, rendering it
510 crooked, ineffectual, useless.
511 Thoughts of doubt and fear never accomplish anything, and
512 never can. They always lead to failure. Purpose, energy,
513 power to do, and all strong thoughts cease when doubt and
514 fear creep in.
