Chapter one desire, the starting point of all achievement. The first step to riches. When Edwin C Barnes climbed down from that freight train in Orange New Jersey, he may have resembled a tramp, but his thoughts were those of a king as he made his way from the railroad tracks to Thomas Edison's office, his mind was at work. He saw himself standing in Edison's presence. He heard himself asking Mr Edison for an opportunity to carry out the one consuming obsession of his life. A burning desire to become the business associate of the great inventor. Barnes's desire was not a hope. It was not a wish. It was a keen pulsating desire that transcended everything else. It was definite, the desire was not new. When he approached Edison, it had been Barnes's dominating desire for a long time in the beginning, when the desire first appeared in his mind, it may have been probably was only a wish, but it was no mere wish when he appeared before Edison with it. A few years later, Edwin C Barnes again stood before Edison in the same office where he first met the inventor. This time, his desire had been translated into reality. He was in business with Edison. The dominating dream of his life had become a reality.
