A review by wast
Think and Grow Rich: The Original, an Official Publication of The Napoleon Hill Foundation by Napoleon Hill

3.0

Over and over again the same thing in the book is the main idea Think and grow rich, which corresponds to the title of the book.I spent so much time on this as a child, dreaming and imagining wealth, sex, having a beautiful wife, etc. And nothing came true.It's common sense if you think about what to wear tomorrow, it will come true. And if you think how I will fly to Mars or become a billionaire, it's practically 0%.

"A DEFINITE PURPOSE BACKED BY BURNING DESIRE FOR ITS FULFILLMENT.

2 A DEFINITE PLAN, EXPRESSED IN CONTINUOUS ACTION.

3 A MIND CLOSED TIGHTLY AGAINST ALL NEGATIVE AND DISCOURAGING INFLUENCES, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances.

4 A FRIENDLY ALLIANCE WITH ONE OR MORE PERSONS WHO WILL ENCOURAGE ONE TO FOLLOW THROUGH WITH BOTH PLAN AND PURPOSE.

Bargaining with Life for a penny, instead of demanding prosperity, opulence, riches, contentment and happiness.

"During the “flu” epidemic which broke out during the world war, the mayor of New York City took drastic steps to check the damage which people were doing themselves through their inherent fear of ill health. He called in the newspaper men and said to them, “Gentlemen, I feel it necessary to ask you not to publish any scare headlines concerning the 'flu' epidemic. Unless you cooperate with me, we will have a situation which we cannot control.” The newspapers quit publishing stories about the “flu,” and within one month the epidemic had been successfully checked.
