Lewis Carroll believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. Take your own impossible dreams and make them become reality.

How They Think-

Thousands of potential millionaires are born every year. And making a million dollars is coming closer to everyone's pocket. What advice did the money-makers follow?

Aristotle Onassis worked eighteen hours a day to maintain his fortune. He started as a welder and aimed for the top. "You have to think money day and night," he said, "you should even dream about it in your sleep."

John D. Rockefeller, Jr., said, "I believe in the dignity of labor, whether with head or hand; that the world owes every person an opportunity to make a living."

And J. Paul Getty acknowledged his hard work: "I have no complex about wealth. I have worked hard for my money, producing things people need."

Even Proverbs advises: "In all labor there is profit." Richard Bach, the author of the best selling "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" wrote, "You are never given a wish without also being given the power to make it true. You may have to work for it, however."

The Empress of the British Empire, Queen Victoria, admonished, "We are not interested in the possibilities of defeat."

Do YOU Have What it Takes?

There are qualities of endeavor and achievement that are common to many people who make it to the top. The following questions are a guideline to self-enterprise and attaining your goals.

* Do you prefer to work for yourself than for others?

* Are you well-informed on current business and political affairs?

* Are you a leader?

* Do you take advantage of opportunities?

* Do you pay attention to what other people say?

* Can you finish a job even when it is difficult or unpleasant?

* Are you challenged by problems?

* Do you have a goal you want to achieve?

* Do you consider other people?

* Do you strive to attain?

* Can you obey commands?

* Can you bounce back after defeat?

* Do you believe in yourself?

* Can you stand by your actions in spite of criticism?

* Can you follow instructions?

* Can you respond to the needs of others?

* Will you give credit to others?

* Can you make your own decisions?

* Are you determined?

* Are you ready for success?

Establish a Goal-

What do you want?

* Are you looking for financial security, professional acknowledgment, spiritual attainment?

* Do you want to fit better socially, or become more expressive creatively?

Establish the goal that's right for you.

Then turn that goal from a dream into a desire. You want to realize that goal, not just wish for it. Aesop said, "Beware that you do not lose the substance by grabbing at the shadow."

* Know exactly what you want, then go for it.

* Don't be tricked by your own procrastination- especially if you want to achieve something artistic.

The writer Thomas Wolfe wrote, "I had been sustained by that delightful illusion of success which we all have when we dream about the books we are going to write instead of actually doing them.

Now I was face to face with it, and suddenly I realized that I had committed my life and my integrity so irrevocably to this struggle that I must conquer now or be destroyed."
