1st sentence of chapter 5:
Rarely have we seen a person fail who has thoroughly followed our path.

2 words can change location and still be true:
thoroughly have we seen a person fail who has rarely followed our path.

plus this helped me:
If you have decided you want what we have and are willing to go to any length to get it-then you are ready to take certain steps.

i made a decision to go to any lengths.


plus this:
We thought we could find an easier, softer way. But we could not.

and this:
Some of us have tried to hold on to our old ideas and the result was nil until we let go absolutely.


and this:
Half measures availed us nothing.
