"So I searched for and found a vein of gold. Every indication was that I had made a very rich strike. I sold it for two million dollars. The terms were a million dollars in cash and a first mortgage of a million dollars. While mining operations were underway the vein ran out I informed the owners of the mining company that if they wanted to abandon the mine, I would take it back and cancel their mortgage. They accepted. So you see, I got a million dollars cash for the mine and still have the million dollars and the mine."
Wealth repelled with NMA. A positive mental attitude will attract wealth but a negative mental attitude will do just the opposite.
With a positive mental attitude you will keep trying until you achieve the wealth you are seeking. Now you might start with a positive mental attitude and make your first step forward. Yet you may become influenced by the negative side of your talisman and stop when you are just one step from reaching your destination. You may fail to employ one of the 17 success principles.

Let's call our man Oscar. In the latter part of 1929, he was at the railroad station in Oklahoma City where it was necessary for him to wait several hours for a train connection east. He had spent months in the western deserts in temperatures as high as 110
degrees. He was seeking oil for an eastern concern. And he was successful.
Oscar was a graduate of M.I.T. It is said that he had combined the old divining rod, galvanometer, magnetometer, oscillograph, radio tubes, and other instruments, into a Doodle Bug for detecting oil deposits.
