"Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions."
- Buddha
The story of how Fred Smith created Federal Express and grew it to become a Fortune 500 company in record time confirms this view. Smith started out with both a clear idea and a clear plan for how to achieve it. While doing his MBA, he conceived of the idea of establishing a courier business that would deliver packages across the USA overnight in comparison to the three to five day delivery offered by UPS and the US Postal Service. His strategy was to establish a hub system at Memphis so that flights coming from all major cities could reach the hub before 2 am, unload their parcels for resorting, reload with items bound for their return destination and land back home early morning in time for delivery during the day. His objective and his strategy were inseparable aspects of the plan he executed and the results he achieved.

Constant Aspiration towards progress:
For man's nature,especially his mental nature,has a spontaneous tendency to give favourable explanation for everything he thinks,feels,says and does.It is is only only by observing these movements with great care,by bringing them them,as it were,before the tribunal of our highest ideal,with a sincere will to submit ito its judgement, that we can hope to form in ourselfs adicernment that never errs.For if we truly want to progress and aquire the capacity of knowing the truth of our being,that is to say what we are truly created for,what we can call our mission upon earth,then we we must ,in a very regular and constant mission ,reject from us or eliminate in us whatever contradicts to the truth of our existence,whatever is opposed to it.In this way,little by little,all the parts,all the elements of our being can be organisedinto a homogeniuos whole around psychic centre.
