ASSUME THAT YOU ARE IT NOW

But here, in the world of Caesar, we can test it. So you want more money?  You want a better job? You want an increase in position? Well, assume that you are it now. Don’t wait for it. Don't read the papers and have them deny that these things are possible, for today everything is denied.

A little thing that just happened in England: They were so com­placent, so sure, they didn't even go to the polls to vote, so Mr. Heath got in. I wondered who was pulling and “treading in the wine­press.” I wondered who started the rumor in England that they were so in you didn't have to vote. It could be Mr. Heath himself! But it's all imagination.

You suggest, and they accept the suggestion, and then you, know­ing they are going to act upon it, go out and then you do exactly what you have to do: work under compulsion to meet everyone you can and get them out. And then he sits back with his pipe, and he is so stunned! He can't believe for one moment they would throw him out, any more than Churchill could believe they would throw him out after the victorious campaign in Europe. But they did!

YOU DARE TO ASSUME
