Thinking does not mean idly wasting time. You need to think with a purpose in mind and an end in view: trying to solve a problem.

“Any business whose management has the foresight to adopt a policy which consolidates management, employees and the public it serves in a spirit of team work, provides itself with an insurance policy against failure.” ~Napoleon Hill

“Come what may, time and the hour runs through the roughest day.” ~William Shakespeare
Dear Readers:
Time is a factor in our lives that most of us take for granted. The sayings, “all we have is time, we have all the time in the world, time waits for no man, time heals all wounds”, and “time is money” all are in the common vernacular. Time is so common that it is often ignored and we assume that we have an unlimited supply. Like the air we breathe, we just assume it is there. Too often our time is spent in unworthy pursuits that advance us no further than we were before, and consequently our time is said to be wasted. Wasted time cannot be retrieved, but it can be mended in a fashion when we renew our commitment to spend our time wisely. Time that is focused allows us to forge a new path that leads us directly to our goal. We may think we want one thing and are really looking for another. We may never realize this fact until we are confronted with the outcome of the choices we have made in our lives.
In the children’s book, No Room for Napoleon, we learn about the concept of sharing and enjoying the company of others. But, not a first. The dog Napoleon visits a small island seeking friendship and is invited to stay. He accepts, and soon he begins to overtake the island with his new home. Every rock and resource is put into his home using the free labor of his friends, Crab, Bunny, and Bear. When finished, the friends decide their island is not the paradise that it once was and they sail away to another island nearby. Napoleon becomes lonely, and his kingdom is no place at all without his new friends. He leaves to seek them out. Worried that he will overtake their new home, his friends tell him that there is no more room for another member. Realizing that he was wrong to use all the resources for himself personally, Napoleon begs to stay because he is lonely. His friends relent, and under a new set of rules, Napoleon joins the group as an equal member, and not as their ruler. Napoleon learns too that is is important to respect both his friends and his shared environment.
When Napoleon’s time was spent in getting and not giving, he neglected the rights of others. He did not see himself as selfish, but as privileged. He assumed that his friends were in agreement with him. But, the morning he woke up to find them gone, he realized life was lonely with only his status and glory to befriend him. His time was misspent, but he learned from his mistake and favored his friends over his possessions. When the group reunites, Napoleon realizes that the only person he should rule is himself, and the change that comes from within is better than any dictated change. The give and take of true friendship is a better standard to judge by, than by how much someone can do for you alone.
Be Your Very Best Always,
Judy Williamson

My Commitment to Doctor Time
by Napoleon Hill
1. Time is my greatest asset, and I shall relate myself to it on a budget system which provides that every second not devoted to sleep shall be used for self-improvement.
2. In the future I shall regard the loss, through neglect, of any portion of my Time as a sin, for which I must atone by the better use in the future of an equivalent amount of it.
3. Recognizing that I shall reap that which I sow, I shall sow only the seeds of service which may benefit others as well as myself, and thereby throw myself in the way of the great Law of Compensation.
4. I shall so use my Time in the future that each day will bring me some measure of peace of mind, in the absence of which I shall recognize that the seed I have been sowing needs reexamination.
5. Knowing that my habits of thought become the patterns which attract all the circumstances affecting my life through the lapse of Time, I shall keep my mind so busy in connection with the circumstances I desire that no Time will be left to devote to fears and frustrations, and the things I do not desire.
6. Recognizing that, at best, my allotted Time on the earth plane is indefinite and limited, I shall endeavor in all ways possible to use my portion of it so that those nearest me will benefit by my influence, and be inspired by my example to make the best possible use of their own Time.
7. Finally, when my allotment of Time shall have expired, I hope I may leave behind me a monument to my name–not a monument in stone, but in the hearts of my fellowmen–a monument whose marking will testify that the world was made a little better because of my having passed this way.
8. I shall repeat this Commitment daily during the remainder of my allotment of Time, and back it with BELIEF that it will improve my character and inspire those whom I may influence, to likewise improve their lives.

Outwitting the Devil
by Napoleon Hill
Using his legendary ability to get to the root of human potential, Napoleon Hill digs deep to reveal how fear, procrastination, anger, and jealousy prevent us from realizing our personal goals. This long-suppressed parable, once considered too controversial to publish, was written by Hill in 1938 following the publication of his classic bestseller, Think and Grow Rich. Annotated and edited for a contemporary audience by Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Three Feet from Gold co-author Sharon Lechter, this book–now available in paper–is profound, powerful, resonant, and rich with insight.

Your Right to Be Rich
by Napoleon Hill
Dr. Napoleon Hill’s landmark book Think and Grow Rich does not restrict the concept of riches to such narrow parameters as fortune and fame. You have the right to be rich, and you deserve to be rich in every way—personally and spiritually—as well as financially. This seemingly simple idea spawned a philosophy about wealth and success that has permeated every generation since its inception.
Your Right to Be Rich gathers transcripts from the most vital and important speeches given by Napoleon Hill. Available in the past only as audio editions and sound-bite snippets, transcripts from these speeches will be presented in print for the first time here.

Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill
As Executive Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, I receive many requests from people wanting the original 1937 copy of Think and Grow Rich. To satisfy those of you who desire to have a 1937 unedited copy, we have reproduced Napoleon Hill’s personal copy of the first edition, printed in March of 1937. The book has the notation, “not to be loaned,” and signed: Annie Lou Hill (the wife of Dr. Hill). This personal copy of Dr. Hill’s was given to me by Dr. Charles W. Johnson, Chairman of the Napoleon Hill Foundation and a nephew of Napoleon Hill. It was Napoleon Hill who sent Dr. Johnson to medical school, and today he is a practicing cardiologist. Charlie refers to Napoleon Hill as “Uncle Nap” and will often makes the statement, “Uncle Nap would be proud of the Foundation today.” The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill. For example, the Foundation owns a 1958 edition that Hill edited personally. This did not lessen the book’s value in Hill’s judgment. Hill made the editing remarks in his own handwriting and the resulting 1960 edited edition has sold over 100 million copies making it the most read self-help book of all time
