The Power of Desire

The power of desire is an unlimited source to create what you want. But, why most of people can't still achieving what they have planned to, their wishes, and everything they wanted to in the future? Simply, because they aren't sure and they don't have belief about themselves. Doubtfulness, have no confident, thinking incapable can lead us to disbelieve ourself. The power of desire never comes into that kind of people.

I can tell you a short story about someone named Edwin C. Barnes. He proved that people can be rich by thinking of being rich. It's started by simple expectation, but that's CLEAR and CERTAIN. He just want to be Edison (Thomas Alfa Edison) business partner, although Mr. Edison doesn't know who he is before. When Mr. Barnes finally met and stood in front of Mr. Edison, he most likely looks like pauper. But Mr. Edison saw that he had the power of desire and the power to survive to reach successfulness. Mr. Edison only gave him a chance to work in his office with minimum salary and doing some unimportant role. But, Mr. Barnes exactly treat it as an important thing because it's a chance to show what he actually can do for his business partner.

Time passes by and Mr. Barnes still with his position. Nevertheless, he didn't meant to turn into another kind of job, he still focus with his long-sticked desire. One day, Mr. Edison just had released his new invention, an office tool called Edison Dictate Machine (Ediphone). All salesman don't have any enthusiasm to distribute that tools, except Mr. Barnes. They thought that customers don't have any demand to buy those products. But Mr. Barnes saw it as his big chance ever. He's SURE that he can sell those products and state it to Mr. Edison. And what's happened then? Mr. Barnes has proved himself by successfully distributed those products with spectacular result. Mr. Edison appreciated it by giving him contract to distribute his products to all America. This partnership has turned up into a slogan, "Made by Edison, Installed by Barnes", and also turned up Mr. Barnes to become a rich man.

Literally, now Mr. Barnes is a Mr. Edison business partner. He don't have any money to start a business at all except desire about what he want, clearly and surely. He always stand up with his desire until he achieve it.

I hope that story can inspire you about desire and the power attached with it. And remember...YOU HAVE THE POWER.
