His whole world of security will vaporize before his eyes. He goes home to his wife and family and says that he was fired because someone had it in for him, or company politics got him. She will understand by saying "what are we going to do, we have no money saved, how can we buy food and pay the rent".

And he says "well I can get unemployment for a while, and maybe find another job". He goes out to find another job and when he pleads his case to his prospective employer, he is afraid that his prospective employer might ask for a letter of recommendation from his last employer. So he is willing to take a lower salary.

This process will continue until he either retires and/or get on social security, or passes away in some home for the elderly and underprivileged. That my friend, is your destination, should you persist in following the direction you are now going. It may be worse, Bill: that is the best you can expect.

You can get angry and walk out now, or you can stay for a little while trying to justify your position. Or, if you are willing to listen and begin to be honest with yourself, I will allow you to stay and learn what it is to have the great key to abundance. Bill, which will it be?

He stopped talking, got up from his chair and said, "I will leave you alone for a while, and I will return for your answer. If you are not here when I return, I will understand you answer." Then he leftt the room.

At that moment, I felt as though I could have killed him andenjoyed every minute of it. I started to get up and leave, but just as I stood, I saw him through the window walking into the yard. As he stepped into the yard, his children ran up to him and hugged him, and they began to laugh and play.

I stood, thought of my family and realized what I was seeing never happened at my house. As I became caught up in that realization. I began to think of my unhappiness, and of what had happened to me and what this man had said.

I sat down again, and noticed that the time was 2:30. I would have to leave soon for a job interview if I were to get there on time. I sat waiting for him to return. 2:45 came and went. 3:00
came and went. I looked out the window, and he was still having fun with the children.

Then I thought "Could he have forgotten me?" I had missed my job interview - now what would I do? As the minute hand reached 4:00, the door opened and with that same warm smile on his
face, my friend said, "Can you stay for dinner?" I smiled and said, "I would love to."

He sat down and began to talk, any there I began the most fantastic journey of my whole existence. As I listened, a door opened in my mind, and then two opened, and then four, and I started getting excited.

I will try to relate to you exactly what he said as his ideas seared into my mind. "Bill", he started, "I gave you the key several years ago, but you failed to ask for an understanding and left in a hurry claiming understanding. You must recognize that your mind is much greater than you are, and always will be. As you discover it, you will always find that even if you think of what you have today as abundance, tomorrow will bring even greater quantity and quality.

You must each day ask of your mind, and it will continue to give in a greater abundance than you can imagine. It has ten great answers to every problem you can ever have. You see, Bill, the only major dierence between men and animals is the mind. Someone once said that you can nd everything that a man has, except his mind, in a pig. I said that the key to abundance is, "PEOPLE HAVE EVERYTHING YOU WANT."

You must first realize that The difference is how you use what you have, all starts with your mind. Bill, remember that people have all things, things do not have or own anything. The values attached to things are given by people, and people have all things of value. Let's say you want love, friendship, associations, some to work for, some to work for you, taxes, money, votes, etc.

Whatever it is you desire, people have it and will, under the right circumstances, gladly give it to you. This being true, what are the proper circumstances which will cause a person to give you that which you desire?

You must be willing to give something of equal or greater value. You might say, "he's broke and has nothing to give, or I have little to offer in exchange for the things that I desire". Well, that's where you are wrong again.You have at this moment everything available to exchange for more abundance than you can analyze or comprehend. The problem is, that you have been looking in the wrong places for value. You must lookto yourself. The rule is, "YOU RECEIVE IN EXACT PROPORTION TO WHAT YOU GIVE". This law is inflexible and cannot be broken. If you think you are ahead of the law and have gained something to which you are not entitled, you will soon discover the loss of that which you have gained.

Should you at the moment find the reverse, that is, that you are behind for services rendered, it will not be long before that shortage will be made up to you. Suppose that you are broke and have what appears to be little to offer. hat can you do with the little you have? You may take a job and receive a small salary. Now here is exactly what you do to start the law working for you in the positive direction.

You must first have your employer define for you exactly what it is that you are to do for the money he is to pay you. He may say that you are to come to work at 8 and leave at 5 with one hour for lunch, and that you are to produce 10 items per hour or 80 items per day.

You must come to work earlier than anyone else, produce more and stay later than anyone else, and at the same time discover ways in which you can give greater contributions to your employer. When you ask of your mind to give you new and better ways in which you can give greater contributions to your employer. When you ask of your mind to give you new and better ways to perform your duties, it will give to you every time. You should spend an hour each day alone, thinking of ways to do a better job. You will soon discover to your amazement that your mind is full of great ideas.

Quietly put your ideas to work, and this, along with your job performance, cannot es.go without recognition. You will be pleased to discover that you will be promoted and given raises.

Soon, you will be manager or foreman. As you continue to give more, you will soon find yourself in higher management. When you reach the point where additional education is required, go to night school or to the public library for the education needed. The fact that there is nothing that can hold you back.

When the company you work for has no place higher for you, help the company develop the need. If they fail to respond, other companies will want you. Should there be no other company create your own. But first, go to the top in your first company.
