Who was Napoleon Hill?

Napoleon Hill was born in 1883 in a one-room cabin near the Appalachian town of Pound, in Southwest Virginia. Hill's mother died when he was nine years old, and his father remarried two years later.

At the age of 13, Hill began writing as a "mountain reporter" for small-town newspapers in the area of Wise County, Virginia.

Howdy! Nice to meet

They were only 2 conditions:

THE LAW OF SUCCESS, Napoleon Hil

In 1928 Hill’s book was published in 8 volumes.

Each volume contained 2 laws as described following:

a definite chief aim#1

We need to set an objective before we can achieve it. Not having a solid aim to focus on can not possibly get us to it. we have to know what we want so that we can start receiving it.

master mind#2

Telepathy, ether, vibration are the basis for how the world functions. A Master Mind is the alliance of minds joining in a harmonious way. The power that is formed from two or more minds coming together is more powerful than one alone. This is strictly for minds who trust each other and are interested in the good success of all parties involved.

self-confidence#3

Believe that we are worth of success and that we can attain it. Without this simples understanding - truly understanding it - we will probably get nowhere with most of our goals. If we are not confident, then we can not sell ourselves in life.

the habit of saving#4

Stop trying to get more than we can afford. Don’t waste anything in life.

initiative and leadership#5

Address the importance of leadership skills. Yes, they can be habituated and we do not have to be a born leader. It is only “genius" that attracts the attention of critics. Nobody bothers slandering a person who is not some where near the upper rings of the ladder of success.

imagination#6

Dream, and use our imagination to help lead us to the attainment of our goals. The making good decision comes with use, and our intuition will always lead us toward our dream. Dreams and actions are closely related.

enthusiasm#7

Compels us to act. Mix enthusiasm with our work - do something we are enthusiastic about - and we will not get tired nearly as quickly. If we look like a million bucks, we’ll feel like a million bucks, and we will likely find ourselves around a million bucks feel good about our appearance.

self-control#8

Auto-suggestion is like reprogramming our subconscious mind to believe what we want it to believe - to replace our old beliefs with new ones that will serve us better. When we take control over the thoughts we are thinking, then we can take control of our success.

habit of doing more than paid for

#9

Do the work we have in front of us, than ask what else we may do. By doing this we make ourselves valuable and we will surely reach a point where we are being paid handsomely.

pleasing personality#10

Have one. Do not point things out on people. Do not hang our head and say “we are tired”. Mediocrity does not care if we are pleasant or not. Success does.

accurate thought#11

Sort facts from information, and use auto-suggestion in conjunction with focused thoughts.

concentration#12

Is the act of focusing the mind upon a given desire until ways and means for its realisation have been worked out and successfully put into operation.

co-operation#13

The implementing of cooperation between we and others who are going to help us to get to our goal. The top of the ladder success is never lonely because we can not help bringing others with us. Cooperation must also exist between our conscious and sub-conscious mind so that they may work harmoniously in our favor.

failure#14

Yes. Fail and be happy that it is bringing us one step closer to success. Failure is inevitable, and it is a great step towards the right direction. Replace “failure" with “temporary defeat”. Never make the same mistakes, never fails as the same way as before. Take advantages of failure in order to pave the way to success.

tolerance#15

Do not practice prejudice or racism. It is ignorance, and it is barrier to success just see the best in people and situation, and focus only on our goal and the good for all.

the golden rule#16

Do unto other as we wish them to do unto us. Think of others as we wish them to think of us.

in sum

#1 A DEFINITE AIM #2 MASTER MIND #3 SELF-CONFIDENCE #4 THE HABIT OF SAVING #5 INITIATIVE AND LEADERSHIP #6 IMAGINATION #7 ENTHUSIASM #8 SELF-CONTROL

#9 HABIT OF DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR #10 PLEASING PERSONALITY #11 ACCURATE THOUGHT #12 CONCENTRATION #13 CO-OPERATION #14 FAILURE #15 TOLERANCE #16 THE GOLDEN RULE

To think over

According to Napoleon Hill’s research, only 3% to 5% of people achieve success in life.

Which philosophy of life have you adopted?
