Quote by Robert Collier

The first principle of success is desire -- knowing what you want. Desire is the planting of your seed.

The first principle of success is desire -- knowing what you

Summary

Desire is the fundamental catalyst for success. It encompasses the clear understanding of one's objectives and aspirations, serving as the initial step towards achieving them. Like a seed planted in fertile soil, desire is the starting point of growth and development. Without a strong desire to pursue a particular goal or dream, progress is unlikely to materialize. Just as a seed needs nourishment and care to flourish, desire must be fueled by passion, dedication, and hard work to bring about the fulfillment of one's ambitions.
