Think and Grow Rich/Napolean Hill Review
Think and Grow Rich is a motivational book inspired by Andrew Carnegie and originally published in 1937. It examines the power of personal beliefs and how they influence personal success. Mr. Hill?s philosophy can be summed up in a famous quote: ?What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.? People that are successful socially and financially have a strong sense of self-empowerment and positive energy. The common thread for all of them whether they came from humble and destitute beginnings or had a silver spoon in their mouth is the fact that they never gave up on their hopes and dreams.
The secret of Achievement is what Mr. Hill sought to bring to the public through his book, but it was not overtly named because he realized it was important for individuals to make the discovery for themselves rather than having it drawn to their attention. Napoleon Hill covered many controversial subjects like racism, slavery, oppression, failure, war and poverty. His goal was to show that perseverance in the face of and despite these obstacles and success were the responsibility of every American.
With sufficient drive and determination, everyone can pursue their goals and dreams even if they must make adjustments in their strategy to achieve what they desire. Mr. Hill?s book put the formula for success in reach of the average person. And I close with this last thought: ?successful people move on their own initiative but they know where they are going before they start.? In other words, you need a good business plan or game plan if you will or outline to structure how you will get from Point A to Point B whether it is personal or financial success. Positive thinking and controlled attention are crucial to your success. No matter how many resources you have available, if you lack drive, determination or belief in yourself you will ultimately fail.
