The Story Behind ..THINK AND GROW RICH ..

Almost 100 years ago, for the first time ever, a man named Napoleon Hill undertook an immense project. Andrew Carnegie asked Napoleon Hill to study the worlds most successful people and work out what it is that makes them so successful. Napolean Hill was one of the first authors who brought the power of positive thinking into prominence with his books. Think and Grow Rich is a true classic.

After 20 years of research he wrote an eight-volume book called The Law of Success, parts of which are used in his best-selling book, Think and Grow Rich. It is the absolutely amazing book on becoming successful. Without question, this single book has had a greater influence on the lives, accomplishments and fortunes of more individuals than any other work of its kind. I have been involved with self improvement books for years and have noticed that most of the books I’ve come across were all based on Hill’s concepts. Napoleon Hill is a mainstay in my "Success Library", no question about it.
It's been 100 years since the start of the research that lead to"Think And Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill. Riches are what Hill’s teachings promise the reader; these riches can be in the form of money or any other result aimed for, if the person applying the formula uses focus and desire properly to achieve them.
Napoleon has given us a simple A,B,C formula only in reverse. * For a person’s mind to be ready to put the Think & Grow Rich formula to work, certain things must be cleared out of the brain: indecision, doubt and fear. Analyzing the success of more than 500 of the 20th Centuries greatest achievers he found that the essence of success lies within 17 simple principles that, when used together, serve as an infallible formula for achievement. The formula for rags-to-riches success that Hill and Carnegie formulated was published initially in 1928 in his book The Law of Success. This formula, Carnegie repeated, was used by all the leading businessmen and inventors of the late 19th and early 20th century. Hill, in his introduction to Think and Grow Rich refers to this formula as a conception which he reports is the foundation of all success and appears to be the premise of the book.
Napoleon Hill was right, that most people do go through life in poverty because they don’t exercise control over their thoughts. Napoleon Hill said it best when he said 'What ever the Mind of Man can Conceive and Believe, he can Achieve' Napoleon Hill was also very clear on something else If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self.

Life Mapping: A Vision of Success

Success is more than economic gains, titles, and degrees. Planning for success is about mapping out all the aspects of your life. Similar to a map, you need to define the following details: origin, destination, vehicle, backpack, landmarks, and route.
Origin: Who you are
A map has a starting point. Your origin is who you are right now. Most people when asked to introduce themselves would say, “Hi, I’m Jean and I am a 17-year old, senior highschool student.” It does not tell you about who Jean is; it only tells you her present preoccupation. To gain insights about yourself, you need to look closely at your beliefs, values, and principles aside from your economic, professional, cultural, and civil status. Moreover, you can also reflect on your experiences to give you insights on your good and not-so-good traits, skills, knowledge, strengths, and weaknesses. Upon introspection, Jean realized that she was highly motivated, generous, service-oriented, but impatient. Her inclination was in the biological-medical field. Furthermore, she believed that life must serve a purpose, and that wars were destructive to human dignity.
Destination: A vision of who you want to be
“Who do want to be?” this is your vision. Now it is important that you know yourself so that you would have a clearer idea of who you want to be; and the things you want to change whether they are attitudes, habits, or points of view. If you hardly know yourself, then your vision and targets for the future would also be unclear. Your destination should cover all the aspects of your being: the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Continuing Jean’s story, after she defined her beliefs, values, and principles in life, she decided that she wanted to have a life dedicated in serving her fellowmen.
Vehicle: Your Mission
A vehicle is the means by which you can reach your destination. It can be analogized to your mission or vocation in life. To a great extent, your mission would depend on what you know about yourself. Bases on Jean’s self-assessment, she decided that she was suited to become a doctor, and that she wanted to become one. Her chosen vocation was a medical doctor. Describing her vision-mission fully: it was to live a life dedicated to serving her fellowmen as a doctor in conflict-areas.
Travel Bag: Your knowledge, skills, and attitude
Food, drinks, medicines, and other travelling necessities are contained in a bag. Applying this concept to your life map, you also bring with you certain knowledge, skills, and attitudes. These determine your competence and help you in attaining your vision. Given such, there is a need for you to assess what knowledge, skills, and attitudes you have at present and what you need to gain along the way. This two-fold assessment will give you insights on your landmarks or measures of success. Jean realized that she needed to gain professional knowledge and skills on medicine so that she could become a doctor. She knew that she was a bit impatient with people so she realized that this was something she wanted to change.
Landmarks and Route: S.M.A.R.T. objectives
Landmarks confirm if you are on the right track while the route determines the travel time. Thus, in planning out your life, you also need to have landmarks and a route. These landmarks are your measures of success. These measures must be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time bound. Thus you cannot set two major landmarks such as earning a master’s degree and a doctorate degree within a period of three years, since the minimum number of years to complete a master’s degree is two years. Going back to Jean as an example, she identified the following landmarks in her life map: completing a bachelor’s degree in biology by the age of 21; completing medicine by the age of 27; earning her specialization in infectious diseases by the age of 30; getting deployed in local public hospitals of their town by the age of 32; and serving as doctor in war-torn areas by the age of 35.
Anticipate Turns, Detours, and Potholes
The purpose of your life map is to minimize hasty and spur-of-the-moment decisions that can make you lose your way. But oftentimes our plans are modified along the way due to some inconveniences, delays, and other situations beyond our control. Like in any path, there are turns, detours, and potholes thus; we must anticipate them and adjust accordingly.
