"Everything is determined by you; be the person you want to be—this is the foundation of success. Start with small things. If you want to be a certain kind of person, demand the same of yourself. Don’t shy away from small tasks, nor get bogged down in trivialities. If you set your mind to it, persevere from the smallest details, from the little things around you. Once you’ve chosen, don’t retreat. Whether you succeed or fail in the future doesn’t matter; what matters is whether you’ve tried your best. As long as you can say with a clear conscience: 'I tried, I gave my all—I don’t care about the outcome.' To gain more than others, you must first give more than others.
James Allen discovered a truth: only by overcoming difficulties in thought can one achieve peace of mind. He always dreamed of writing a book to help people—whether poor or rich, educated or uneducated, worldly or otherworldly—to help all find the source of all success, all happiness, all achievement, and all truth within themselves. Driven by this dream, he tirelessly worked until it became reality. Now, he pours his entire knowledge into writing, entrusting it to the world to fulfill the mission of healing and bringing happiness.
