This percentage is estimated at only 2%!<\/p>\n<p>The outstanding leaders in every walk of life are the ones in the sixth<br \/>group. They recognize the power of their own minds, take possession of that<br \/>power and direct it to whatever ends they choose. To these people the word<br \/>&#8220;impossible&#8221; has no meaning. To them, everything they want or need is possible&#8211;<br \/>they manage to get it. The only trait which differentiates them from most of<br \/>the others who accept failure as their lot, is that they recognize and use<br \/>their mind-power for the attainment of the circumstances and things they<br \/>want while the others do not.<\/p>\n<p>Wishes, desires, hopes, beliefs, faith, and action&#8230;where are you?<\/p>\n<p>(Extracted from writings by Napolean Hill)<\/p>\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-197\" data-postid=\"197\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-197 themify_builder themify_builder_front\">\n\t<\/div>\n<!-- \/themify_builder_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The majority of people never discover the difference between wishing andbelieving; nor do they recognize that there are six steps which peopleusually follow in using their mind-power for the attainment of their desires.These steps are: First: The vast majority of people go through life by merely wishing forthings.
