Цепочка: от видения к свершению через жертву

Сквозной аргумент двух глав: как удержанный идеал становится реальностью через усилие и жертву — и почему «удачи» нет.

1. Мечтатели питают видимый мир — visions-and-ideals

   THE dreamers are the saviours of the world.
   — As a Man Thinketh, ch. Visions and Ideals

2. Лелеемое видение однажды воплотится — voploshchaetsya-videnie-a-ne-prazdnoe-zhelanie

   He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it.
   — As a Man Thinketh, ch. Visions and Ideals

3. Но реализуется видение, а не праздное желание — voploshchaetsya-videnie-a-ne-prazdnoe-zhelanie

   And you, too, youthful reader, will realize the Vision (not the idle wish) of your heart
   — As a Man Thinketh, ch. Visions and Ideals

4. Случая нет — есть усилие и его мера — visions-and-ideals

   In all human affairs there are efforts, and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result. Chance is not.
   — As a Man Thinketh, ch. Visions and Ideals

5. Достижение — прямой результат собственных мыслей — net-dostizheniya-bez-zhertvy

   ALL that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
   — As a Man Thinketh, ch. The Thought-Factor in Achievement

6. И нет достижения без жертвы, соразмерной цели — net-dostizheniya-bez-zhertvy

   He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.
   — As a Man Thinketh, ch. The Thought-Factor in Achievement
