Default Two points...

1: Think and GROW rich. Not "Think and Get-Rich-Quick". Not "Think and Get Rich Overnight. Think and GROW rich.

As you said... like a seed. Gradually. Steadily. Constantly.

2: Get it yourself. The book says you may not get it, and that it could be presented outright but is better left for you to discover. For you will only discover it When You're Ready.

Gordon, you've presented a very good analysis of the book. And even seeing it in plain black and white pixels, many will still not Get It.

They'll read it. Understand it. Know what it being said. But won't KNOW it. It won't dawn on them. Look without seeing. Listen without hearing.

Whatever.

3: The Magic of Thinking Big. Okay, I said two points, so consider this a bonus :o). Page 165 on - Get The Action Habit....

"Excellent ideas are not enough. An only fair idea ACTED UPON, and developed, is 100 percent better than a terrific idea that dies because it isn't followed up.
The great self-made merchant, John Wanamaker, often said, 'Nothing comes merely by thinking about it.'
Think of it. Everything we have in this world, from satelites to skyscrapers to baby food, is just An Idea ACTED UPON.
As you study people - both the successful and the just average - you find they fall into two classes. The successful are active; we'll call them 'activationists.' The just average, the mediocre, the unsuccessful are passive. We'll call them 'passivationists.'"

Just that section alone - Get The Action Habit - is a course in and of itself.

And, my sentence above contains an idea - an opportunity - for those with eyes to see and for those with ears to hear.

Thanks for you time.

Michael Ross.
