The cause of failure is doing too many things in an inefficient manner, and not doing enough things in an efficient manner. You will see that it is a self-evident proposition that if you do not do any inefficient acts, and if you do a sufficient number of efficient acts, you will become rich. If, now, it is possible for you to make each act an efficient one, you see again that the getting of riches is reduced to an exact science，like mathematics.
如果你屬于前者，你失敗的原因就在于低效的行動太多而高效的行動又太少。如果你能在行動中始終保持高效率，并且按質按量且按時地完成了足夠多的工作，你就一定能夠獲得夢想中的財富。對此，事實就是最好的證明。如果，你現在就立刻提高自己的工作效率，那么，你就可以再次親身體會這門科學的神奇之處，它就像數學中的邏輯證明一樣，奇妙無比。
The matter turns, then, on the question as to whether you can make each separate act a success in itself. And this you can certainly do. You can make each act a success, because ALL Power is working with you; and ALL Power cannot fail. Power is at your service; and to make each act efficient you have only to put power into it.
所以，現在問題的關鍵就在于你是否能夠保證自已能夠高效快速地完成每件工作。實際上，你完全可以做得到。你當然可以保證高效快速地完成每一件工作，因為你并不是孤軍奮戰，世間所有的力量都會幫助你。有了它們的幫助，你又怎么會失敗呢?現在，萬事俱備，只欠東風，當你將所有力量都集中到自己的工作上時，就算是將東風送到了。
Every action is either strong or weak; and when every one is strong, you are acting in the Certain Way which will make you rich. Every act can be made strong and efficient by holding your vision while you are doing it, and putting the whole power of your FAITH and PURPOSE into it.
每件工作產生的影響力或強或弱，或大或小。當你的每一件工作的影響力都很強的時候，那就說明你已經掌握了特殊的行為方式。增大工作影響力的方法很簡單，你只需要在工作時牢記自己的夢想藍圖，并將所有通過信念和目標凝聚起來的力量全部投人到工作當中就行了。
It is at this point that the people fail who separate mental power from personal action. They use the power of mind in one place and at one time, and they act in another pace and at another time. So their acts are not successful in themselves; too many of them are inefficient.
因此，很多人之所以會失敗，就因為他們沒能將自己的思想和行動統一起來。他們的思想與行動是完全獨立的，使用時也并不同步。所以，從一開始，他們的行動就注定會失敗，而事實上，這樣的行動大都效率不高。
But if ALL Power goes into every act, no matter how commonplace, every act will be a success in itself; and as in the nature of things every success opens the way to other successes, your progress toward what you want, and the progress of what you want toward you, will become increasingly rapid.
但是，無論是多平凡的小事，如果你能夠在每一次行動時都投入自己的全副力量，那么它就一定能夠成功，不斷加快你實現夢想的進程，在最短的時間里獲得自已想要的一切。而根據自然界的規律，每一次成功的行動必然會為你打開通向另一個成功的大門，眾多的成功累積起來就會形成一個加速器，
Remember that successful action is cumulative in its results. Since the desire for more life is inherent in all things, when a man begins to move toward larger life, more things attach themselves to him, and the influence of his desire is multiplied. Do, every day, all that you can do that day, and do each act in an efficient manner.
請記住，每次行動的結果都將累加在一起，共同作用于你的夢想。由于對美好生活的渴望是所有生物所共有的一種本能的生存欲望，所以，就在我們決定向這個目標邁進的那一刻，許多其他的生物便會附著在我們身上，也正因為如此，我們的渴望最后決不會僅僅單獨作用于我們自己身上，它的影響力必然會擴及到其他許多事物。因此，每天我們都要做好當天應該做好的事情，并讓每一次行動都保持高效。
In saying that, you must hold your vision while you are doing each act, however trivial or commonplace, I do not mean to say that it is necessary at all times to see the vision distinctly to its smallest details. It should be the work of your leisure hours to use your imagination on the details of your vision, and to contemplate them until they are firmly fixed upon memory.
我在上文中曾經提到過，我們在每次行動時都必須牢記自己的夢想，哪怕這件的行動再微不足道，再平凡，我們都必須全力以赴。關于這句話，我需要說明的是，我所說的時刻牢記夢想并不是要你清清楚楚地記住夢想的每個細節，即使是最細微的細節也不放過。我的本意是當你在行動時你應當充分利用思想的力量，讓想像力充分發揮其作用，使自己的夢想更加真實，更具誘惑力，更能激發自己行動的熱情，直到你將這一切變成一種習慣，銘刻在腦海里。
If you wish speedy results, spend practically all your spare time in this practice. By continuous contemplation you will get the picture of what you want, even to the smallest details, so firmly fixed upon your mind, and so completely transferred to the mind of Formless Substance，that in your working hours you need only to mentally refer to the picture to stimulate your faith and purpose, and cause your best effort to be put forth.
如果你希望夢想能夠盡快實現，那就從現在開始按照我要求的那樣不斷訓練自己吧!通過夢想的不斷刺激，你腦海里那幅關于財富夢想的藍圖就會變得越來越清晰，即使是最細微的細節之處也一清二楚，與此同時，這幅藍圖也會深深地印刻在你的腦海中，并已經通過清楚的意思表達傳遞給了無形的物質。于是，當你在每次行動的時候，你只需要稍加回憶，它便會清楚地顯現出來，刺激你進一步堅定自己的信念和目標，全力以赴地完成接下來的每件工作。
Contemplate your picture in your leisure hours until your consciousness is so full of it that you can grasp it instantly. You will become so enthused with its bright promises that the mere thought of it will call forth the strongest energies of your whole being.
所以，你必須不斷地借助藍圖來刺激自己的思想，直到這一切都成為你行動時的條件反射。等到那時，已經對一切都了若指掌的你只要想到夢想實現后的美好未來，就會立刻變身為一輛開足馬力的火車，風馳電掣般地向目的地駛去。
