# Chapter V - THE THOUGHT-FACTOR IN ACHIEVEMENT (page 5/6)
'As James said 'Intellectual achievements are the result
of thought consecrated to the search
for knowledge, or for the beautiful and true in life and nature. Such achievements may be sometimes connected with vanity and ambition, but
they are not the outcome of those characteristics; they are the natural
outgrowth of long and arduous effort, and of pure and unselfish thoughts'.
It has been said by many people that just by having the pure thoughts, people are able to fly in air or even see the things happening at different place.
