Think and Grow Rich (2)
Napoleon Hill gives you the money-making secrets that earned Carnegie, and many of the world’s other most prominent people, unprecedented riches.
In the authors preface first paragraph and the first sentence of the second paragraph;
“IN EVERY chapter of this book, mention as been made of the money-making “secret” which has made fortunes for more than five hundred exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully analyzed over a long period of years.
“The secret” was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than a quarter of a center ago. “
The techniques shown in his book are not much different that “the secret.” Right from the beginning of his introduction in the very first paragraph “TRULY, “thoughts are things,” and powerful things at that, when they are mixed with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a BURNING DESIRE for their translation into riches, or other material objects.”
He later lays out the 13 principles that lead to riches;
1.DESIRE - “The starting point of all achievement”
2.FAITH - “Visualization of, and belief in attainment of desire”
3.AUTO-SUGGESTION – “The medium for influencing the subconscious mind”
4.SPECIALIZED KNOWLEDGE - “Personal Experiences or Observations”
5.IMAGINATION - “The workshop of the mind”
6.ORGANIZED PLANNING - “The crystallization of desire into action”
7.DECISION - “The mastery of procrastination”
8.PERSISTANCE - “The sustained effort necessary to induce faith”
9.POWER OF THE MASTER MIND – “The driving force”
10.THE MYSTERY OF SEX TRANSMUTATION
11.THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND – “The connecting link”
12.THE BRAIN – “A broadcasting and receiving station for the brain”
13.THE SIXTH SENSE - “The door to the temple of wisdom”
Although, this book is mostly geared toward money and prosperity, within all the 13 principles are “the secret.”
Some of his quotes in is book are;
“There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge”
“Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought”
