“The creative vision of one generation develops into the laws and institutions of later generations of men.”
~Napoleon Hill

 

 

I have been fortunate to travel to many foreign countries that have been enjoyable trips as well as successful trips for the Napoleon Hill Foundation.

One of my favorite trips was due to an invite from SSI in Japan, who has had a business relationship with the Napoleon Hill Foundation for over 35 years.

Mr. Tanaka Taka-Aki invited the trustees to visit Japan. I will always treasure their hospitality and kindness, from being escorted by the VP of a Japanese airline on our first class trip to all of our days touring Japan. We went from Tokyo, on the so called bullet train, to Kyoto (home of Toyota motors) to the old capital of Nara.

On our last night, Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka Taka-Aki had a lovely dinner for the trustees and they showed us pictures of our visit. Two photographers and guides were with us all the time.

After the pictures were shown Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka Taka-Aki played Elvis’ song “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” I was sitting between Mr. and Mrs. Tanaka Taka-Aki and she said they loved Elvis and I told her I did too.

Shin Saikyo is an employee for SSI and resides in the United States. I have been amazed at the kindness, promptness, and honesty of the people like Shin and Mr. Tanaka.

SSI and all of their employees have been a blessing to the Napoleon Hill Foundation. The friendships we have developed are priceless. Japan has done a tremendous job of teaching Napoleon Hill’s principles to our friends in Japan.

The best to you at whatever you do!

“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

Vintage Essays By Judy Williamson, Director of the Napoleon Hill World Learning Center at Purdue University Calumnet

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Let us move forward with strong and active faith.”  ~ Franklin Delano Roosevelt

Dear Readers:

Since many of you have asked, here is some information on the Napoleon Hill Foundation from the archives. As you can read, the Mission of the Foundation is timeless, and the legacy of Napoleon Hill continues to support current and future generations.

Background: The Foundation was formed August 21, 1962 by Dr. Napoleon Hill and Annie Lou Hill as a not-for-profit Educational Foundation.

The Foundation was established to foster, perpetuate and disseminate throughout the world, by publication and instruction the lifetime research, writing and teachings of Napoleon Hill, Litt. D., Hu. D., Ph.D., Philosopher and Author of the First Practical Philosophy of Personal Achievement as sponsored by Andrew Carnegie.

The Foundation is dedicated to impart this philosophy to business, industry, social service agencies, educators, minority groups, prison inmates, and individuals. The application of the Principles of this Philosophy will help them learn “how to” motivate themselves to high individual achievement and reach their own self-fulfillment.

The goal of the Foundation is to make this world a better place in which to live for this and future generations. Six objectives have been set to accomplish the goal:

• Publish Napoleon Hill’s personalized course of individual study.
• Publish unpublished manuscripts of Napoleon Hill.
• Train instructors in the teaching of the philosophy.
• Hold seminars to teach the philosophy.
• Enable the formation of study groups (online, Facebook, etc.,) as a method of continuation and implementation of the principles of the philosophy.

As the Educational Director of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, I encourage you to read and apply Dr. Hill’s success materials in your daily life. Not only will it make a profound difference in your capacity to reach your personal goals, but it will serve your children’s children as well. Remember, as the Indian saying goes, “We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.” May both Napoleon Hill’s enduring legacy and our own legacy live well beyond our time spent on this planet.

Thoughts are things, and good thoughts are the gemstones of peace.

Be Your Very Best Always,
Judy Williamson

The Law of Success

 

The Place to Begin is in Your OWN Mind
by Napoleon Hill

Right where you are now is the place from which to start for success, regardless of where you’re headed. You, and you alone, can make the start because you make the start in your own mind, your own mental attitude, and over this you, and you alone, have complete control. The place to begin is in your own mind. Your success and failure are in your own mind.

It may take a long time to find that out, but when the truth is finally recognized, the twelve riches of life listed below will become realities for you and you will have an abundance of each.

1. A Positive Mental Attitude
2. Sound Physical Health
3. Harmony in Human Relationships
4. Freedom from Fear
5. The Hope of Achievement
6. The Capacity for Faith
7. Willingness to Share One’s Blessings
8. A Labor of Love
9. An Open Mind on All Subjects
10. Self-Discipline
11. The Capacity to Understand People
12. Financial Security

These are listed for your benefit so you can check off the ones you have and note those you still wish to acquire.

Fundraising Gala 2016


 

Support the Foundation April thru May, 2016.

Dear Friends of Napoleon Hill,

Unable to attend this year’s Gala? Still want to participate?

Consider sponsoring a Principle of Success. Often certain principles are more “energized” for people than others. I find that my two top principles are Applied Faith and Learning from Adversity and Defeat. If I were focusing on what principles have made a difference in my life, I would select these two. When I experience Adversity and Defeat I recall Dr. Hill’s saying that “In every adversity and defeat there is a seed of equal or greater benefit.” Just reciting this to myself makes me confident in forging ahead even under adverse conditions. And then the element of Applied Faith encourages me to have ongoing Faith in unseen forces that are very real and supportive of worthy efforts. In the end, I have always found that these two concepts keep me on an even course when the path I am following is rocky and not fully disclosed.

Perhaps you feel this way too. In any event, if you want to sponsor your favorite principles, just click here and identify them and put your personal support in front of your beliefs. “Faith without works is dead.”

Judy Williamson

 

Thanking you in advance,

~ Judy Williamson, Director

The Little Book of Leadership

 

Wisdom for Winners:
A Millionaire Mindset

by Jim Stovall
“An Official Publication of The Napoleon Hill Foundation”

On the heels of the New York Times bestseller The Ultimate Gift and the major motion picture from 20th Century Fox based on that book Jim Stovall brings you Wisdom for Winners, A Millionaire Mindset.

For more than a decade, Jim Stovall’s Winner’s Wisdom syndicated columns have been read and studied by highly successful people around the globe. Now, that same wit, wisdom and millionaire experience is available for you in this book.

Wisdom for Winners contains a unique combination of guidance for the career professional and the entrepreneur combined with spiritual wisdom that prompts self-reflection. Organized into small sections, the material can be read incrementally for greater impact.

“Jim Stovall’s life is proof of the effectiveness of the millionaire mindset, and a shining testament to the principles found within this book. In his easy to read style, Jim has put together a collection of practical and powerful success tips and tools.”

~ Don Green, Executive Director of The Napoleon Hill   Foundation

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
