Reason makes the plans. The strong one carries them through.
The strong one is your Will. Dream, and then carry out your dreams. Drive
yourself to the finish line. The Will-less dreamer is never a success.
You have the vision. Make it come to pass. You dream your dream, and then make
the dream come true. Cultivate a discontent with everything that is common in
you. Compel yourself to improve your mind, and your abilities.

A young man had an unusual gift for dressing windows.
He had worked in a store for a long time. He had watched the window
dresser and given him suggestions, until, by and by, the window dresser asked
that he might become his helper. It was but a few weeks until the helper
became the artist.
The head dresser never told the boss who did the art work (and so
received the honor belonging to the young man), but men came from
different parts of the city to look at the windows. There was always a
crowd in front of the store. One day a man came from a distance.
He asked who dressed the window. The manager introduced him to the head
dresser. The man was disappointed. He said, "He does not talk like
one who could do this kind of work." The young man had stood
by.
Later he was introduced. The man said, "Do you dress these
windows?" The young fellow said, "I am only the side kick."
"I have this amount of space in my window," the other said, "what
would you do with it?" The young man said, "If you will
come back this afternoon, I will tell you."
He went into his office and drew the plans. When the man came back and looked at
it, he said, "I will give you twenty-five hundred dollars a year if you
will go back with me." He till then had been working for fifteen
dollars a week.
You cannot hide trained genius for ever. Some day it will show up. You cannot
hide trained ability. Other people may use you for a time, but you will break
the bonds sooner or later like this young man did. It is in you; pull it
out.
Sometimes a company may find out too late who was the real artist, and kill the
hen who laid them the golden eggs.
I was working in a company where my manager for years took the credits for my
work, he was promoted, got raises in salary, and continued to showoff with my
feathers. Till he made a very big blunder which cost the company a lot of
money. Now he blamed me for it, and because of that the working atmosphere
went below zero for me, and so I left that company. Within half a year the
manager lost his job, and I was asked to return. I didn't go back as I
found a better position. After that is was only one more year, and the
company was out of business.
I mean to say trained genius will be seen, and must be seen, for if a company
fails to recognize it, it has a negative effect on them too.
