Chapter one introduction, the man who thought his way into partnership with Thomas A Edison. Truly thoughts are things and powerful things of that when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence and a burning desire for their translation into lies or other material objects. A little more than 30 years ago, Edwin C Barnes discovered how true it is that men really do think and grow rich. His discovery did not come about at one setting. It came little by little beginning with a burning desire to become a business associate of the Great Edison. One of the chief characteristics of Martin's desire was that it was definite, he wanted to work with Edison. Not for him, observed carefully the description of how he went about translating his desire into reality. And you will have a better understanding of the 13 principles which lead to riches. When this desire or impulse of thought first flashed into his mind, he was in no position to act upon it. Two difficulties stood in his way. He did not know Mr Edison and he did not have enough money to pay his railroad fare to Orange, New Jersey. These difficulties were sufficient to have discouraged the majority of men from making any attempt to carry out the desire, but this was no ordinary desire. He was so determined to find a way to carry out his desire that he finally decided to travel by blind baggage rather than be defeated to the initiated. This means that he went to East Orange on a freight train. He presented himself at Mr Anderson's laboratory and announced she had come to go into business with the inventor. In speaking of the first meeting between Barnes and Edison years later, Mr Edison said he stood there before me looking like an ordinary champ, but there was something in the expression of his face which conveyed the impression that he was determined to get what he had come. After I had learned from years of experience with men that when a man really desires and things so deeply that he is willing to take his entire future on a single turn on the wheel. In order to get it, he is sure to win. I gave him the opportunity he asked for because I saw he had made up his mind to stand by until he succeeded. Subsequent events proved that no mistake was made. Just what young Marin said to Mr Edison on that occasion was far less important than that, which he thought Edison himself said. So it could not have been the young man's appearance which got him his start in the Edison office for that was definitely against him. It was what he thought that counted. If the significance of the statement could be conveyed to every person who is it, there will be no need for the remainder of this book, Barnes did not get his partnership with Edison on his first interview. He did get a chance to work in the Edison offices at a very nominal wage doing work. That was unimportant to Edison, but most important to Barnes because it gave him an opportunity to display his merchandise where his intended partner could see it.
