“When a man gives his order to produce a definite result and stands by that order it seems to have the effect of giving him what might be termed a second sight which enables him to see right through ordinary problems. What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.”
— Alexander Graham Bell, Inventor
「当一个人下令产生一个确切的结果并且坚持那个命令，它似乎可以给人一种像是第二视力的效果，让他可以看穿一般的问题。这是什么力量我无法说；我只知道它存在，且只有当一个人处在那个心理状态时才会出现，他非常清楚的知道他要什么，且下完全的决心在找到之前绝不放弃。」– 亚历山大‧贝尔 (发明家)
