Riches don't respond to wishes. They respond only to definite plans, backed by definite desires, through constant persistence.
Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

Riches come if they come at all, in response to definite demands, based upon the application of definite principles, and not by chance or luck.
A clear vision, backed by definite plans, gives you a tremendous feeling of confidence and personal power.

Do definite good; first of all to yourself, then to definite persons.
It's much easier to have something that's absolutely definite and has a definite identity, rather than a really generic role.
