 deserve . Yet , for many of us , those dreams have become so shrouded in the frustrations and routines of daily life that we no longer even make an effort to accomplish them . For far too many , the dream has dissipated and with it , so has the will to shape our destinies . Many have lost that sense of certainty that creates the winner's edge . My life's quest has been to restore the dream and to make it real , to get each of us to remember and use the unlimited power that lies sleeping within us all . I'll never forget the day it really hit me that I was truly living my dream . I was flying my jet helicopter from a business meeting in Los Angeles , traveling to Orange County on the way to one of my seminars . As I flew over the city of Glendale , I suddenly recognized a large building , and I stopped the helicopter and hovered above it . As I looked down , I realized this was the building that I'd worked in as a janitor a mere twelve years ago ! In those days , I had been concerned whether my 1960 Volkswagen would hang together for the 30 - minute trip to work , my life had been focused on how I was going to survive ; I had felt fearful and alone . But that day , as I hovered there in the sky , I thought , " What a difference a decade can make ! " I did have dreams back then , but at the time , it seemed they'd never be realized . Today , though , I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy . As I continued my flight south along the coastal route , I spotted dolphins playing with the surfers in the waves below . It's a sight that my wife , Becky , and I treasure as one of life's special gifts . Finally , I reached Irvine . Looking below , I was a little disturbed when I saw that the off ramp to my seminar was jammed with bumper - to bumper traffic for more than a mile . 1 thought to myself , " Boy , I hope whatever else is going on tonight gets started soon so that the people coming to my seminar arrive on time . " But as I descended to the helipad , I began to see a new picture : thousands of people being held back by security where I was just about to land . Suddenly I began to grasp the reality . The traffic jam had been caused by people going to my event ! Although we had expected approximately 2,000 attendees , I was facing a crowd of 7,000 - in an auditorium that would hold only 5,000 ! When I walked into the arena from the landing pad , I was surrounded by hundreds of people who wanted to give me a hug or tell me how my work had positively impacted their lives . The stories they shared with me were incredible . One mother introduced me to her son who had been labeled " hyperactive " and " learning disabled . " Utilizing the principles of state management taught in this book , she was not only able to get him off the drug Ritalin , but they had also since been transferred to California where her son had been retested and evaluated at the level of genius ! You should have seen his face as she shared with me his new label . A gentleman talked about how he had freed himself from cocaine using some of the Success Conditioning techniques you'll learn in this book . A couple in their mid - fifties shared with me that , after fifteen years of marriage , they had been on the brink of divorce until they learned about personal rules . A salesman told me how his monthly income had jumped from $ 2,000 to over $ 12,000 in a mere six months , and an entrepreneur related that he had increased corporate revenues by over $ 3 million in eighteen months by applying the

应得 。 然而，对于我们中的许多人来说，这些梦想已经被日常生活的挫折和日常生活所笼罩，我们甚至不再努力去实现它们。 对于太多人来说，梦想已经消散，随之而来的是塑造我们命运的意志。 许多人已经失去了创造胜利者优势的确定感。 我一生的追求是恢复梦想并使之成为现实，让我们每个人都记住并使用潜伏在我们所有人体内的无限力量。 我永远不会忘记我真正实现梦想的那一天。 我在洛杉矶的一次商务会议上驾驶我的喷气式直升机，在前往我的一个研讨会的途中前往奥兰治县。 当我飞过格伦代尔市时，我突然认出了一座大建筑，我停下直升机，在它上面盘旋。 当我往下看时，我意识到这是我十二年前当过门卫的那栋楼！ 那些天，我一直担心我的 1960 年大众汽车是否会为 30 分钟的上班旅行而挂起，我的生活一直专注于我将如何生存； 我感到恐惧和孤独。 但那天，当我在天空中盘旋时，我想，“十年可以带来多大的改变！”我当时确实有梦想，但在当时，它们似乎永远不会实现。 然而 今天 我 开始 相信 我 过去 的 失败 和 挫折 实际上 为 创造 我 现在 享受 的 新 生活 水平 的 理解 奠定 了 基础 . 当我继续沿着沿海航线向南飞行时，我发现海豚在下面的海浪中与冲浪者玩耍。 这是我妻子贝基和我珍视的人生特别礼物之一。 最后，我到达了尔湾。 往下看，当我看到通往我的研讨会的出口匝道挤满了一英里多的人流时，我有点不安。 1 对 我 自己 说 : " 男孩 , 我 希望 今晚 的 其他 事情 尽快 开始 , 以便 来 我 的 研讨会 的 人 准时 到达 . " 但是 当 我 降落 到 直升机 停机坪 时 , 我 开始 看到 一个 新 画面 : 成千上万 人 . 我正要降落的地方被保安拦住了。 突然间我开始掌握现实。 堵车是有人去参加我的活动造成的！ 尽管我们预计大约有 2,000 名与会者，但我面对的却是 7,000 人——在一个只能容纳 5,000 人的礼堂！ 当我从停机坪走进竞技场时，我被数百人包围，他们想给我一个拥抱，或者告诉我我的工作如何对他们的生活产生了积极的影响。 他们与我分享的故事令人难以置信。 一位 妈妈 把 我 介绍给 她 被 贴上 " 多动 " 和 " 学习 障碍 " 的 儿子 . 利用 这 本书 中 讲授 的 国家 管理 原则 , 她 不仅 能够 让 他 戒掉 利他林 , 而且 调到加州，儿子被重新测试和评估为天才级别！ 当她与我分享他的新标签时，你应该看到他的脸。 一位绅士谈到了他是如何使用您将在本书中学到的一些成功条件反射技术从可卡因中解脱出来的。 一对五十多岁的夫妇跟我分享说，结婚十五年后，他们一直处于离婚的边缘，直到他们了解了个人规矩。 一位推销员告诉我，他的月收入如何在短短六个月内从 2,000 美元跃升至 12,000 多美元，一位企业家说，他在 18 个月内通过应用
