"But you can be rich. Your future is ahead of you. You must prepare yourself to be ready. And in making yourself ready for the opportunities that are available to you, you must first develop a positive mental attitude." And the interesting thing is that this man did heed the author's advice. Five years later, the man wasn't rich, but he had developed a positive mental attitude. And he was on his way to wealth. He had been many thousands of dollars in debt. Within the five-year period, he had gotten completely out of debt and had begun making investments with the money he had saved.

He developed PMA as he studied the book Think and Grow Rich. He did not only read it. He had learned to recognize principles and apply them.

When the NMA side of his talisman was influencing him, he was like those workmen who blame their tools for poor craftsmanship.

Have you ever blamed your tools?

Where does the fault lie: If you own a perfect camera and use the right film; if you have the proper set of rules to take perfect pictures under all types of circumstances; if someone else takes perfect photographs with your camera but ? yours are failures?

Does the fault lie with the camera?

Could it be that you have read the rules but haven't taken the time to understand them? Or, if you do understand them, that you don't apply the rules?

Could it be that you will read Success Through a Positive Mental Attitude ? a book that could change the entire course of your life for the better?without taking the time to understand, memorize self-motivators, learn the principles that will guarantee success ? and apply them? Your answer will be evident to you by your action.

Now, it's not too late to learn.

If you haven't learned by now, you might as well learn now: you will not succeed consistently unless you know and understand the rules; you will not continuously succeed unless you apply the rules. Therefore, take the time to understand and apply what you are reading in this book. PMA will help you.

"The home of my dreams." Remember, the thoughts that you think and the statements you make regarding yourself determine your mental attitude. If you have a worthwhile objective, find the one reason why you can achieve it rather than hundreds of reasons why you can't.

One of the rules in obtaining what you want through PMA is to act once you have your sights on a goal. Another is: "Go the extra mile." W. Clement Stone tells of the following experience which illustrates both rules.

One April evening, while I was visiting Frank and Claudia Noonan in Mexico City, Claudia commented, "I wish we could have a home in the Jardines del Pedregal de San Angel." ("This is the most desirable section of that beautiful city.)

"Why don't you?" I asked

Frank laughed and answered, "We don't have the money."

"Does that make any difference, if you know what you want?" I inquired, and then, without waiting for a response, I asked a question that I might ask of you.

"By the way, have you ever read an inspirational, motivating book like Think and Grow Rich, The Power of Positive Thinking, I Can, I Dare You, TNT, Applied Imagination, Turn on the Green Tights in YourTife, Acres of Diamonds, or The Magic of Believing?"

"No," was the response.

Thereupon I told of several experiences of those persons who: knew what they wanted; read an inspirational book; listened to its message; and then got into action.

And I even told how years ago I purchased a new $30,000 home on my own terms ? with a $1500 down payment and how in due course it was completely paid for. I promised to send one of the recommended books. I did.

Frank and Claudia Noonan were ready.

It was the following December, while studying in my library that I received a telephone call from Claudia who said, "We just arrived from Mexico City, and the first thing Frank and I wish to do is to thank you."

"Thank me for what?"

"We want to thank you for our new home in the Jardines del Pedregal de San Angel."

A few days later at dinner Claudia explained, "Late one Saturday afternoon Frank and I were relaxing at home. Some friends from the States telephoned and asked if we would drive them to the Jardines del Pedregal de San Angel. "It just so happened we were both rather exhausted. And besides, we had taken them there earlier in the week. Frank was ready to 'beg off when an expression used in the book flashed through his mind ? Go the extra mile.

"While driving them through this man-made paradise, I saw the home of my dreams ? even the swimming pool I longed for." (Claudia is the swimming champion, Claudia Eckert.)

"Frank bought it."
