"Desire is the starting point of all achievement, not a hope, not a wish, but a keen pulsating desire which transcends everything"

This quote by Napoleon Hill suggests that in order to accomplish something, one must have a strong and also intense wish for it. Simply really hoping or wishing for something to take place will not be enough. The desire must be so solid that it surpasses any kind of obstacles or constraints that might emerge. It is this "keen pulsating wish" that works as the foundation for all accomplishments.
