To prove to myself that I wasn't dreaming, I did it again using a different approach. I then did it again, and again, with new variations. The price of success was self-knowledge and self-discipline. The methods used, the Winning Ways, are described in Chapter 26. Deliberately, they are near the end of the book. This is
