“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill was probably the very first self-improvement book that was recommended to me. Unfortunately, I didn’t recognise it as such (working in a sales environment at the time, I classed it as one of many “sales” books that were being recommended to me). Consequently, I never got round to reading it until earlier this year (some 25 years later).
I mention it now, because when I was viewing the Tony Robbins video (see last article), it struck me again how very relevant the principles of that book still are, over 70 years after it was first published. The principles and the methodology behind them still provide the keys to bringing success to your life.
The book provides a veritable warehouse of motivational quotes. Here are a few for you:
- All who have accumulated great fortunes, first did a certain amount of dreaming, hoping, wishing, DESIRING and PLANNING before they acquired money.
- If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance.
- Success requires no apologies, failure permits no alibis.
- Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.
- Practical dreamers DO NOT QUIT.
- The greatest achievement was, at first, and for a time, but a dream.
- No more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.
- Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.
- Nothing is impossible to the person who backs DESIRE with enduring FAITH.
- Life’s battles don’t always go, To the stronger or faster man, But sooner or later the man who wins, Is the man who thinks he can.
Just where would I be now, if I’d read and acted on this book 25 years ago?
If reading “Think and Grow Rich” has been on your “To Do” list for all too long, TAKE ACTION now and benefit from it. Don’t waste 25 years like I did!
To make it easy for you, there’s an Amazon link below: you’ll see there are prices to suit all pockets. If you don’t do it now, when will you get a better opportunity?
