“To succeed in life, you need two things: ignorance and confidence.” — Mark Twain In a flash of inspiration, the possibility of embarking on a wonderful project comes to mind.

There it is, in black and white, on top of the goal list, “Become a Millionaire in less than ten years.” A very lofty goal and certainly a reasonable one. It’s been done many times before.

“As long as you believe something, your brain operates on automatic pilot, filtering any input from the environment and searching for references to validate your belief, regardless of what is it.” – Anthony Robbins The human mind is funny.
