| 0:06.0 | businesses like Magic Spoon and Mattel, who sell through the roof, you probably attribute |
| 0:12.2 | their success to great products and a strong brand. But an often overlooked secret is actually |

| 2:11.3 | must become great before great results can be secured. Aspiration concentrates attention upon superiority and therefore |
| 2:22.2 | elevates all the qualities of the mind into that state. This being true, every effort in life |
