A man might know an encyclopedia of facts, but be a failure.
He might comprehend how to use his knowledge, and still be a failure.
_Success comes only to the man who acts most effectively on what he
knows_.
[Sidenote: Right Practice Of the Three Processes]
In order to secure quick and effective results, the _practice_ of the
three necessary processes of development should be:
First, _definitely conscious_. You need to _know just what_ quality you
want to develop in yourself.
Second, _discriminative_. You must learn the _differences_ between what
you _want_, and what you _don't want_ to develop in particular.
Third, _restrictive_. It is necessary that in your training to develop a
certain quality, you _concentrate_ your practice on the respects in
which this particular quality differs from other qualities.
Most of us are pretty _definitely conscious_ of what we want. We know
just the qualities we would like to have. But very few people employ
most effectively the _discriminative-restrictive methods of training_ in
their processes of development.
