' Dormant Powers '...

A powerful interest which dominates a man's life
polarizes his mind, which then acts like a magnet
and continually draws out from his stored-up
experience and also from new experiences whatever
is relevant and useful to the end in view.

Deep
interest invigorates the mind, awakens its dormant
powers and is the key to super excellence, invention
and discovery.
