“Conceive - Believe - Achieve”
“Conceive - Believe- Achieve” is a popular business motto. Napoleon Hill (1833-1970) wrote in Think and Grow Rich (1937):
“Edison did not believe them. He knew that the mind could produce anything the mind could conceive and believe, and that knowledge was the thing that lifted the great Edison above the common herd.”
“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve” was said in a Napoleon Hill lecture in 1956. “Believe, Conceive, Achieve” was cited in 1963 and “Conceive, Believe and Achieve” was cited in 1967.

Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches. Use auto-suggestion, have faith, imagination and overcome fear and time is your opposite player as in checkerboard.
