One specific example from the book Think and Grow Rich is the story of Edwin C. Barnes, who had a burning desire to become a business associate of the great inventor, Thomas Edison. Barnes didn't just wish to work with Edison, he was determined to do so and he did not let anything deter him from this goal. He took a freight train to Orange, New Jersey, where Edison's offices were, and presented himself. He didn't get the partnership he wanted right away, but got a chance to work in the office. His determination and refusal to give up eventually led to his desired partnership with Edison. This story is used by Napoleon Hill to illustrate the principle of desire.
