Science of Being Great Fix upon your ideal of what you wish

Fix upon your ideal of what you wish to make of yourself, consider well and be sure that you make the right choice, that is, the one that will be the most satisfactory to you in a general way. Do not pay too much attention to the advice or suggestions of those around you, do not believe that any one can know, better than yourself, what is right for you. Listen to what others have to say, but always form your own conclusions. Close your ears to all adverse suggestions. Never mind if people call you a fool and a dreamer. Dream on, remember that Bonaparte, the halfstarved lieutenant, always saw himself as the general of armies and the master of France and he became in outward realization what he held himself to be in mind, so likewise will you.
