THIS book
conveys the experience of more than 500 men of great wealth, who began at
scratch, with nothing to give in return for riches except THOUGHTS, IDEAS and
ORGANIZED PLANS.
The book was
inspired by Andrew Carnegie, after he had made his millions and retired. It was
written by the man to whom Carnegie disclosed the astounding secret of his
riches—the same man to whom the 500 wealthy men revealed the source of
their riches.
Riches
cannot always be measured in money! All who read, understand and apply this
philosophy will be better prepared to attract and enjoy these higher estates
which always have been and always will be denied to all except those who are
ready for them.
Be prepared,
therefore, when you expose yourself to the influence of this philosophy, to
experience a CHANGED LIFE which may help you not only to negotiate your way
through life with harmony and understanding, but also to prepare you for the
accumulation of material riches in abundance.

THE MAN WHO “THOUGHT” HIS
WAY INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH
THOMAS A. EDISON
TRULY, “thoughts are things,” and powerful things at that, when they
are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their
translation into riches, or other material objects.
A little more than thirty years ago, Edwin C. Barnes discovered how
true it is that men really do THINK AND GROW RICH. His discovery did not come
about at one sitting. It came little by little, beginning with a BURNING DESIRE
to become a business associate of the great Edison.
One of the chief characteristics of Barnes’ Desire was that it was
definite. He wanted to work with Edison, not for him. Observe, carefully, the
description of how he went about translating his DESIRE into reality, and you
will have a better understanding of the thirteen principles which lead to
riches.
When this DESIRE, or impulse of thought, first flashed into his mind
he was in no position to act upon it. Two difficulties stood in his way. He did
not know Mr. Edison, and he did not have enough money to pay his railroad fare
to Orange, New Jersey.
These difficulties were sufficient to have discouraged the majority
of men from making any attempt to carry out the desire. But his was no ordinary
desire! He was so determined to find a way to carry out his desire that he
finally decided to travel by “blind baggage,” rather than be defeated. To the
uninitiated, this means that he went to East Orange on a freight train.
He presented himself at Mr. Edison’s laboratory, and announced he
had come to go into business with the inventor. In speaking of the first
meeting between Barnes and Edison, years later, Mr. Edison said, “He stood there before me, looking like an ordinary tramp, but there
was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that
he was determined to get what he had come after. I had learned, from years of
experience with men, that when a man really DESIRES a thing so deeply that he
is willing to stake his entire future on a single turn of the wheel in order to
get it, he is sure to win. I gave him the opportunity he asked for, because I saw
he had made up his mind to stand by until he succeeded. Subsequent events
proved that no mistake was made.”
Just what young Barnes said to Mr. Edison on that occasion was far
less important than that which he thought. Edison, himself, said so! It could
not have been the young man’s appearance which got him his start in the Edison
office, for that was definitely against him. It was what he THOUGHT that
counted. If the significance of this statement could be conveyed to every
person who reads it, there would be no need for the remainder of this book. Barnes
did not get his partnership with Edison on his first interview. He did get a
chance to work in the Edison offices, at a very nominal wage, doing work that
was unimportant to Edison, but most important to Barnes, because it gave him an
opportunity to display his “merchandise” where his intended “partner” could see it.
Months went by. Apparently nothing happened to bring the coveted
goal which Barnes had set up in his mind as his DEFINITE MAJOR PURPOSE. But something
important was happening in Barnes’ mind. He was constantly intensifying his
DESIRE to become the business associate of Edison. Psychologists have correctly
said that “when one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.” Barnes
was ready for a business association with Edison, moreover, he was DETERMINED
TO REMAIN READY UNTIL HE GOT THAT WHICH HE WAS SEEKING.
He did not say to himself, “Ah well, what’s the use? I guess I’ll
change my mind and try for a salesman’s job.” But, he did say, “I came here to
go into business with Edison, and I’ll accomplish this end if it takes the
remainder of my life.” He meant it! What a different story men would have to
tell if only they would adopt a DEFINITE PURPOSE, and stand by that purpose
until it had time to become an all-consuming obsession!
Maybe young Barnes did not know it at the time, but his bulldog
determination, his persistence in standing back of a single DESIRE, was
destined to mow down all opposition, and bring him the opportunity he was
seeking.
When the opportunity came, it appeared in a different form, and from
a different direction than Barnes had expected. That is one of the tricks of opportunity.
It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes
disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why
so many fail to recognize opportunity.
Mr. Edison had just perfected a new office device, known at that
time, as the Edison Dictating Machine now the Ediphone. His salesmen were not
enthusiastic over the machine. They did not believe it could be sold without
great effort. Barnes saw his opportunity. It had crawled in quietly, hidden in
a queer looking machine which interested no one but Barnes and the inventor.
Barnes knew he could sell the Edison Dictating Machine. He suggested
this to Edison, and promptly
got his chance. He did sell the machine. In
fact, he sold it so successfully that Edison gave him a contract to distribute
and market it all over the nation. Out of that business association grew the slogan,
“Made by Edison and installed by Barnes.”
The business alliance has been in operation for more than thirty
years. Out of it Barnes has made himself rich in money, but he has done
something infinitely greater, he has proved that one really may “Think and Grow Rich.”
How much actual cash that original DESIRE of Barnes’ has been worth
to him, I have no way of knowing. Perhaps it has brought him two or three million
dollars, but the amount, whatever it is, becomes insignificant when compared
with the greater asset he acquired in the form of definite knowledge that an
intangible impulse of thought can be transmuted into its physical counterpart
by the application of known principles.
