today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
a mulberry leaf(桑叶) touched with the genius of man becomes silk.
a field of clay touched with the genius of man becomes a castle.
a cyprus tree touched with the genius of man becomes a 1.
a cut of sheep's hair touched with the genius of man becomes raiment for a king.
if it is possible for leaves and clay and wood and hair to have their value multiplied a hundred, yea a thousandfold by man, cannot i do the same with the clay which bears my name?

i am liken to a grain of wheat which faces one of three 2. the wheat can be placed in a sack and dumped in a stall until it is fed to swine. or it can be ground to flour and made into bread. or it can be placed in the earth and allowed to grow until its golden head divides and produces a thousand grains from the one.
i am liken to a grain of wheat with one difference. the wheat cannot choose whether it be fed to swine, ground for bread, or planted to multiply. i have a choice and i will not let my life be fed to swine nor will i let it be ground under the rocks of failure and despair to be broken open and 3 by the will of others.
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
to grow and multiply it is necessary to plant the wheat grain in the darkness of the earth and my failures, my despairs, my ignorance, and my inabilities are the darkness in which i have been planted in order to 4. now, like the wheat grain which will 5 and blossom only if it is 7 with rain and sun and warm winds, i too must 6 my body and mind to 8 my dreams. but to grow to full 9 the wheat must wait on the 10 of nature. i need not wait for i have the power to choose my own destiny.
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
and how will i accomplish this? first i will set goals for the day, the week, the month, the year, and my life. just as the rain must fall before the wheat will crack its shell and sprout, so must i have objectives before my life will crystallize. insetting my goals i will consider my best performance of the past and multiply it a hundredfold. this will be the standard by which i will live in the future. never will i be of concern that my goals are too high for is it not better to aim my spear at the moon and strike only an eagle than to arm my spear at the eagle and strike only a rock?
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
the height of my goals will not hold me in 11 though i may stumble often before they are reached. if i stumble i will rise and my falls will not concern me for all men must stumble often to reach the 12. only a worm is free from the worry of stumbling. i am not a worm. i am not an onion plant. i am not a sheep. i am a man. let others build a cave with their clay. i will build a castle with mine.
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
and just as the sun must warm the earth to bring 13 the 14 of wheat so, too, will the words on these 15 warm my life and turn my dreams into reality. today i will surpass every action which i performed yesterday. i will climb today's mountain to the utmost of my ability yet tomorrow i will climb higher than today, and the next will be higher than tomorrow. to surpass the deeds of others is unimportant; to surpass my own deeds is all.
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
and just as the warm wind guides the wheat to 16, the same winds will carry my voice to those who will listen and my words will announce my goals. once spoken i dare not recall them lest i lose face. i will be as my own prophet and though all may laugh at my 17 they will hear my plans, they will know my dreams; and thus there will be no escape for me until my words become 18 deeds.
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
i will commit not the terrible crime of aiming too low.
i will do the work that a failure will not do.

i will always raise my goals as soon as they are 19.
i will always strive to make the next hour better than this one.
i will always announce my goals to the world.
yet, never will i proclaim my 20. let the world, instead, approach me with praise and may i have the wisdom to receive it in 21.
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
one grain of wheat when multiplied a hundredfold will produce a hundred stalks. multiply these a hundredfold, ten times, and they will feed all the cities of the earth. am i not more than a grain of wheat?
today i will multiply my value a hundredfold.
and when it is done i will do it again, and again, and there will be 22 and wonder at my greatness as the words of these scrolls are fulfilled in me.
