Think And Grow Rich |
Re: Books Every Investor Should Read by Blackkie: 11:29pm On Aug 13, 2015 |
Think And Grow Rich - Napoleon Hill Think and Grow Rich, a book wrriten by Napoleon Hill is a summary of what it takes to build a business and set it on automatic gear. It is among the oldest business literature that is still relevant after about a century of its first publication. The dictates of the book are the basics without dilution. It is based on positive philosophy and psychology - what you think is what you will be. The author made it clear that there is no magic, accident or miracle to wealth creation. If there is any, they are the ones an individual personally orchestrates knowingly and unknowingly. According to him, all one has accumulated in life is a sum total of what that individual knows. Going through the book, all the names mentioned are pioneer captains in various fields in United States of America. These men are in politics, management, sales, marketing, arts, music, invention et cetera. One thing is peculiar about these people, these men who are the fulcrum of what we know today as America are men of no certificate education but men who are pure thinkers and acted accordingly positively. Thinking makes the difference. A popular maxim said ''Good thinking - Good product'' Unfortunately, thinking aright is the hardest thing to do. Good thoughts sets people in their desired calibration! All through the book, history of great men were given prominence in its simplest and educative summary. You will come across Ford who a majority of the so called elites of his age dubbed an illiterate, yet he built Ford Motor Corporation from nothing but imagination and persistence, the Enchanted Kettle-talking about the origin of the bottle with the best contours Coca-Cola, the men who fought with their brains to midwife the nation called America by risking the gallows, Berns who taught his way to become a partner with the great inventor Thomas Edison, the savvy personality of Charles Schweb in building United State Steel Corporation, the speech that gave birth to Illinois Institute of Technology as delivered by a priest, the list was endless. Napoleon Hill's focal point in the book is success in wealth creation, this could only be achieved by coordinating various attributes in the right dimensions. These attributes includes- Desire - The starting point of all achievement Faith - The belief that whatever one is going after is obtainable Persistence - The only shield against failure Auto Suggestion - What you tell yourself, you will voluntarily do in real life Organised Planning - How to go after what seems too far from you and pocket it via application of winning strategies. On the other side, he outlined the elements that causes many to be perpetual losers in life. Chief among them is procrastination-shifting till tomorrow what you should have done days ago. Fear, being afraid of what has not yet happened. According to him, fear has different ways of presenting itself conspicuously without due invitation. When fear reigns, procrastination creeps in boldly and dictates the way things will go, however they will be wrapped in negativity. The author directed the attention of all seeking wealth to the place of transformed partnership. Partnership was all he was describing when he mentioned the Mastermind Group. A Mastermind Group is a group of people who came together to carry out a specific assignment till absolute perfection. Thus, any successful person must practice the act of bringing people together and working harmoniously with them and achieve a set out goal. To support the work of Masterminds, he advocates tapping ideas from the ''invisible'' counselors and Seating for Ideas. The Invincible counselors are achievers and role models that may be living or dead, you focus on their work and ideas and draw inspirations from their wealth of success. Seating for Ideas is taking an extra time to disect a given challenge and factor in the most suitable and qualified answers to the given challenge. Once again, its all about thinking and thinking right. Some personal analyses are added with questions to draw ones attention to personal effectiveness. These researched questions are offered by the author so that the reader of the book will understand that he or she is totally responsible for whatever happens around him in life. Think And Grow Rich is the name of the book. Why did the author appendage this name to his work? Thinking and Doing it right is all that spells success in all realms of life. Riches and wealth is within your environment only your style of thinking makes teh difference. In his closing remarks, Napoleon Hill quotes the words of Immortal Emerson, ''if we are related, we shall meet'' which he accents to thus, ''if we are related, we have through these pages meet'' 5 Likes |

Re: Books Every Investor Should Read by khaynoni(m): 8:05pm On Aug 19, 2015 |
The richest man in Babylon is a very insightful book. It teaches the practical way of acquiring wealth and not just theories. It teaches one the effective way of saving and investing it wisely by not just acting on one's intelligence but seeking advice from expertise in the line of business one chooses to invest in. It also teaches one to love your neighbour as yourself and not more than yourself. There are so many lessons I learnt there, can't list all as I'm not much of a man for words. If you are the type that truly and legally want to amass wealth, I will advise you read this book. Someone should please recommend another good book for me and direct me to a link where I can download the soft copy. |

ernie4life:Think and grow rich is a watered down version of the Law of Success series by napoleon hill...It is so powerful that they had to take it off the market. Try law of success in sixteen lessons and you ll never be the same. I got the audio version and I listen to it every single day. Napoleon Hill literally uncensored success principles. Unfortunately I was only able to download 11 lessons out of 16 before the links mysteriously disappeared from youtube. 1 Like |

this book needs no review from me but I will leave a quote "If you think you can do a thing or think you can't do a thing, you're right.""Don't find fault, find a remedy." I have both E-copy and audio copy but may not be able to share any due to insufficient data , the files are large, I will advice anybody who wants to read it to go and buy the book, after reading you could add it to your library

Re: Books Every Investor Should Read by ernie4life(m): 11:22am On Aug 30, 2015 |
Xxpress: The Scroll Marked I Today I begin a new life Today I shed my old skin, which hath, too long, suffered the bruises of failure and the wounds of mediocrity. Today I am born anew and my birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all. Today I will pluck grapes of wisdom from the tallest and fullest vines in the vineyard, for these were planted by the wisest of my profession who have come before me, generation upon generation. Today I will savor the taste of grapes from these vines and verily I will swallow the seed of success buried in each and new life will sprout within me. The career I have chosen is laden with opportunity yet it is fraught with heartbreak and despair and the bodies of those who have failed, were they piled one atop another, would cast its shadow down upon all the pyramids of the earth. Yet I will not fail, as the others, for in my hands I now hold the charts, which will guide me through perilous waters to shores, which only yesterday seemed but a dream. Failure will no longer by my payment for my struggle. Just as nature made no provision for my body to tolerate pain neither has it made any provision for my life to suffer failure. Failure, like pain, is alien to my life. In the past I accepted it as I accepted pain. Now I reject it and I am prepared for wisdom and principles which will guide me out of the shadows into the sunlight of wealth, position, and happiness far beyond my most extravagant dreams until even the golden apples in the Garden of Hesperides will seem no more than my just reward. Time teaches all things to he who lives forever but I have not the luxury of eternity. Yet, within my allotted time I must practice the art of patience for nature acts never in haste. To create the olive, king of all trees, a hundred years is required |
