especially in today's society, even way more so than 1937, but today I see people who have goals, they have dreams, and then they use their sexual energy and they look at pornography, they do things like that, that releases the sexual energy and then they just go back to drifting and they lose that drive, they lose that energy and the momentum forward.
And so what Napoleon talks about, he says that if you will not waste the sexual energy and instead you like, you bottle it up or you store it, like that energy is one of the most powerful things to open up creativity and to get you to drive towards something.
And if you focus that energy on other things, that's how you become driven.

And so many people, people who would be successful, who could be creating companies and businesses and doing things, instead, they slip back into this tendency to go and focus for those things.
