Every man and woman, who follows these instructions steadily, perseveringly, and to the letter, will get rich. The law of the increase of life is as mathematically certain in its operation as the law of gravity. Getting rich is an exact science. The wage earner will find this as true of his case as of any of the others mentioned. Do not feel that you have no chance to get rich because you are working where there is no visible opportunity for advancement, where wages are small and the cost of living high. Form your clear mental vision of what you want, and begin to act with faith and purpose. Do all the work you can do, every day, and do each piece of work in a perfectly successful manner.  

Put the power of success and the purpose to get rich into everything that you do. But do not do this merely with the idea of currying favour with your employer, in the hope that he, or those above you, will see your good work and advance you. It is not likely that they will do so. The person who is merely a “good” worker, filling his place to the very best of his ability and satisfied with that, is valuable to his employer, and it is not to the employer’s interest to promote him. He is worth more where he is. To secure advancement, something more is necessary than to be too large for your place. The person who is certain to advance is the one who is too big for his place, who has a clear concept of what he wants to be, who knows that he can become what he wants to be, and who is determined to BE what he wants to be.
