veyed it to the minds of J. P. Morgan and the others, was marketed for a profit of
approximately $600,000,000. Not an insignificant sum for a single IDEA!
What happened to some of the men who took their share of the millions of dol-
lars of profit made by this transaction, is a matter with which we are not now
concerned. The important feature of the astounding achievement is that it serves
as unquestionable evidence of the soundness of the philosophy described in this
book, because this philosophy was the warp and the woof of the entire transac-
tion. Moreover, the practicability of the philosophy has been established by the
fact that the United States Steel Corporation prospered, and became one of the
richest and most powerful corporations in America, employing thousands of peo-
ple, developing new uses for steel, and opening new markets; thus proving that
the $600,000,000 in profit which the Schwab IDEA produced was earned.
RICHES begin in the form of THOUGHT! The amount is limited only by the per-
son in whose mind the THOUGHT is put into motion. FAITH removes limita-
tions!
Remember this when you are ready to bargain with Life for whatever it is that you
ask as your price for having passed this way. Remember, also, that the man who
created the United States Steel Corporation was practically unknown at the time.
He was merely Andrew Carnegie's "Man Friday" until he gave birth to his famous
IDEA. After that he quickly rose to a position of power, fame, and riches.
