PARAGRAPH FOR PRECIS

Nothing else will so serve you to accomplish great things as the belief in your own greatness, in your own marvellous possibilities; count that man an enemy who shakes your faith in your ability to do the thing you have set your heart upon doing, for when your confidence is gone, your power is gone. Your achievement will never rise higher than your self-faith. It would be as unreasonable for Napoleon to have expected his army over the Alps by sitting down and declaring that the undertaking was too great for him, as for you to hope to achieve anything significant in life while harbouring grave doubts and fears as to your ability. The miracles of civilisation have been performed by men and women of great self-confidence, who had unwavering faith in their power to accomplish the tasks they undertook. The race would have been centuries behind what it is today, had it not been for their determination, their persistence in finding and making real the thing they believed in, which the world often announced as chimerical or impossible.
