of the way, you can read the sign: "Wanted. Men
with Power." There is an unexplored continent in your Being. Go into
it, bring out its riches, for yourself and for the world.
=PERSISTENCE AND PLANNING=: A plan is a mighty source of power.
Do not work and live "hit-or-miss" in your activities day by day. Have
a plan. Sit in Silence a few moments each morning and create a plan.
You can double your efficiency. Think out a plan, open a way. Get an
effectual insight. Keep your plan under your cap, and work it out.
Persist in your plan. Stick to it. Never grow sour or negative in your
manner. Keep sweet. If your plan is blocked, dig in another direction.
Build a new foundation. Shake off doubts and start new. Unless your
success makes you happy it is not success. Deep at the heart of the
Universe lies happiness. Live closely to that heart, in persistent
power of service.
=IMPERSONATE YOUR DESIRES:= Impersonate greatness and you will
become great. Impersonate loveliness and you will become lovely. Why
do actors become matinee idols? They could readily marry a hundred
times a month. It is quite impossible for an actor to remain
unmarried. What is the secret? Can a person get it? Certainly; here
it is. Actors impersonate heroes, villains, model husbands, daring
lovers, in a real way. They think, plan, and train themselves to
impersonate the character, they make it so real that people think it
must be a part of their nature. You can do it, young man, bachelor,
widower. If you are only half a man, half a lover, impersonate a whole
one. If you are so bashful that it makes you blush to walk with your
best girl, in the garden where the flowers are in bed, impersonate a
dashing, dare-devil, scamp of fascination, and your sweetheart will
faint from adorable bliss and fall into your arms. If you are a coward
impersonate a hero, until you are one. Do not stand on one foot, or
bite your fingernails, or tear the rim off your hat, trying to tell a
beautiful, healthy twentieth century young woman you love her. You'll
be all to the mustard. Do something brave. Go hire a kid that is a
good swimmer, to fall into the lake as you and your sweetheart are
walking past, then throw back your shoulders and tear off your coat
and leap in, the kid will get you to shore, but you'll be a hero in
her eyes. Impersonate the hero, and you will win the heroine.
Young woman, if you would marry a hero, impersonate beauty. Maiden
