The power of the mind can never be underestimated. Every good thought stems from the mind. The mind is where creativity and further strategies is released to build up successful ventures. The mind is like a fertile garden where every thought its planted like a seed and will germinate and grow  into a full tree if watered and nurtured properly. In this fashion, every good and bad idea cultivated in the mind which is constantly watered by the desire to actualize it and nurtured with proper strategy has a high possibility to materialize. Many great men are testimonies of the power of the mind. They thought of a solution to a problem, and with constant dedication, planning, excution strategies and follow ups, they achieve their aims. Let's look at a few of them:
Abraham Lincoln: had a conviction that all men are created equal, should have equal rights and equal opportunities. He pursued it with determination, which brought about the end of open marginalization and slave trade in the united states. Although he paid the ultimate price with his life before his idea was actualized.

Charles Schwab: A young man in his thirties whom conceived in his mind the US steel corporation and gave a famous speech at a gathering which swept the money king Morgan off his feet and bought him to his idea. Morgan invited him for another discussion for clarity and he convinced Morgan so much that he invested over $400 million in the dream of this young man. Surely he wasn't disappointed.

Napoleon Hill: On a tip off from Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon went into proper research for 25 years on the secrets of acquiring great wealth. An idea that people will term irrelevant, but his conviction and strong will power gave birth to the famous book "think and grow rich" which uncovers 13 principles of acquiring genuine riches and achieving the impossible. Himself received a reward of his own dedication by refusing to accept a deaf and dumb child. He continued believing in his son's ability to live a normal life, constantly encouraged the boy. Nature finally rewarded him accordingly and his son lived a normal life many years later.

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther king: he had a dream that one day, people wouldn't be judged by the color of their skin, but what they brought to the table. He was an activist for economic equality, eradication of racial activities and equal recognition. He achieved his aim, but died fighting for black workers to have equal benefits with whites. He called for equality on several occasions and even when it fell on deaf ears, he did not relent as his convictions were strong and his ideas were sound.

Satoshi Nakamoto: had the idea of decentralization of currency, transparency and trust in transactions , freedom from unnecessary government monetary policies. He  pursued his ideas by creating a program where people can send money to one another anonymously and securely with softwares called digital wallets, outside government regulations. He met with political and social backlash, but stayed true to his game. The bitcoin crypto currency we now enjoy is a testimony of his strong idea.

Many great men have already demonstrated that the greatest power a man weilds is his mind. As soon as your mind is compromised with negative thoughts about your Idea and strategies, only then are you defeated. There is still room for critism and change of strategies that are not practically sound, but keep the idea alive.
We ought to use our minds properly, feed in only positive thoughts to this fertile garden and populate our subconscious minds with possibilities of achieving these goals and we will see how strategies for actualizing these great ideas of ours will be unfolding gradually until it become a success.
Even in the forum, the desire to rank up and get the best recognition should keep us going. we should be committed to active learning, contributions, creating quality threads and all other lawful manners of engagements that will help us actualize the very idea of being in the forum. All these are achievable with the right mindset.
Don't rush yourself, just keep on every good cause and take things a step at a time. Remember, Rome wasn't built in a day. You need to keep a sound and positive mind at all times, and believe in your abilities. That way, you'll coerce others to believe in you too.
