Here is little Effie's head. Her brains are made of gingerbread. When
the judgement day comes, God will find six crumbs. Stooping by the coffin
lid waiting for something to rise as the something's always did. Imagine
His surprise, bellowing above the general noise, "Where is Effie? She
was dead." Back to God in a tiny voice: "My name's Maybe."
The first crumb said. The number two crumb picked up the song.
"Might, I'm called. I've done no wrong." Cried the third crumb,
"I am Should. Here's our little brother Could and my big sister
Would. Don't punish us for we've been good." And the last crumb, with
some shame, whispered unto God, "My name is Must and with the others,
we've been Effie, who isn't alive and never was. Cross the threshold have
no dread. Lift the sheet back in this way.

The way you activate the seeds of your creation is by making choices
about results you want to create. When you make a choice, you mobilize
vast human energies and resources which otherwise go untapped. All too
often people fail to focus their choices upon results and therefore their
choices are ineffective. If you limit your choices only to what seems
possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want,
and all that is left is a compromise.

People who have attained things worth having in this world have worked
while others have idled, have perservered while others gave up in despair,
and have practiced early in life the valuable habits of self-denial,
industry, and singleness of purpose. As a result, they enjoy in later life
the success often erroneously attributed to good luck.

The secret of the truly successful, I believe, is that they learned very early in life how not to be busy. They saw through that adage, repeated to me so often in childhood, that anything worth doing is worth doing well. The truth is, many things are worth doing only in the most slovenly, halfhearted fashion possible, and many other things are not worth doing at all.

People who come up with "It may not work" or "What are we going to do if it fails?" do not have the credentials to be businessmen. If there is only a 1 percent chance of success, a true businessperson sees that 1 percent as the spark to light a fire.
