When President John F. Kennedy decided in 1960 that the United States would put a man on the Moon in ten years, most of the technology to accomplish the task was not yet available.

The decision to set the goal — the belief in its possibility and the belief that it could be achieved — produced the necessary scientific and technological breakthroughs to make it possible, and the resulting spin-offs of these new technologies altered our lives for the better.

Or as Charles F. Haanel so simply yet eloquently wrote in The Master Key System:

We are first to believe that our desire has already been fulfilled. Its accomplishment will then follow.
