A century ago, a young man’s quest began. His quest was to find the greatest achievers and find their secret to success. He wanted to learn from the innovators, from the inventors, and the industrialists who built this nation.
Thomas Edison: Our greatest weakness lies in giving up.
Henry Ford: Before everything else, getting ready is the key to success.
Andrew Carnegie: Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success.
What this young man learned is that there are no secretes to success, only simple lessons, simple lessons that resound as strongly today as they ever have.
1. For your ship to come in, you must first send one out.
2. Close the door of fear behind you and the door to faith will quickly open in front of you.
3. Direct your thoughts and you will ordain your destiny.
4. Before trying to master others, master yourself.
5. Realize that you are where you are because of your habits.
6. Accept defeat as inspiration to try again.
7. Know where you are going before you go.
8. Keep a positive mental attitude and you’ll find the greatest riches.
9. Go the extra mile and opportunity will follow.
The young man who walked among giants left us this message: If you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve it.
Napoleon Hill: 1883 – 1970
Napoleon Hill (October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970) was an American author who was one of the earliest producers of the modern field of personal-success literature. He is widely considered to be one of the great writers on success. His most famous work, Think and Grow Rich, is one of the best-selling books of all time. Hill’s works examined the power of personal beliefs, and the role they play in personal success.
