NOTABLE QUOTABLE – “The information is easily conveyed: any idea, plan or purpose may be placed in the mind through the repetition of thought. This is why you are asked to write out a statement of your major purpose, or Definite Chief Aim, commit it to memory and repeat it, in audible words, day after day, until these vibrations of sound have reached your subconscious mind.” – Napoleon Hill (Page 73 of the 1945 Edition of Think and Grow Rich)
