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

Change the World

Probably most of us have had an occasion when someone is attempting to teach others yet lack the knowledge and skills to be qualified to do so.

For example, we should only seek medical advice, financial advice, or other skills we want to learn from those that have demonstrated they are capable of teaching what we want to learn.

Should you desire to learn to play golf, it would only be prudent to get instruction from a skilled golf instructor. Should you desire to learn how to manage your finances, it would seem practical to learn from a person who knows and practices financial know how and has shown they are capable of handling their own finances before teaching others.

Studying success principles and applying them will no doubt be the best investment of your time and money that you will ever make.

Napoleon Hill taught success principles he learned and today you can visit naphill.org and take the course from someone who has mastered the material by learning, applying, and teaching the material.

Napoleon Hill lives on through print, audio and video, carefully preserved by The Napoleon Hill Foundation. We offer to you Napoleon Hill’s most comprehensive course on the principles of success as taught by the Author himself. Through video, audio and written material you will journey through with Napoleon Hill to gain a deeper understanding of the world’s most definitive success philosophy. The next course begins September 5, 2017 so sign up today!

The reason to learn the material and apply it is explained in a poem written hundreds of years ago.

Judith Williamson has a love for poetry and published this poem in a book on poems and it explains the steps to success and how we can help make this a better world in which to live. It always starts with ourselves. We learn and we are better off for this simple act. We teach others and can change them. When we teach others to teach others we can change the world.

The poem explains why change must begin with us. I strongly urge you to contact the Napoleon Hill Foundation at naphill.org and begin your success journey now.

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world.
I found it was difficult to change the world,
so I tried to change my nation.
When I found I couldn’t change the nation,
I began to focus on my town.
I couldn’t change the town and as an older man,
I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man,
I realize the only thing I can change is myself,
and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself,
I could have made an impact on my family.
My family and I could have made an impact on our town.
Their impact could have changed the nation
and I could indeed have changed the world.

Author: Unknown Monk 1100 A.D.

 

The best to you at whatever you do!

The Law of Success

 

Contentment
by Napoleon Hill

The richest man in all the world lives in Happy Valley. He is rich in values that endure, in things he cannot lose — things that provide him with contentment, sound health, peace of mind and harmony within his soul.

Here is an inventory of his riches and how he acquired them:

“I found happiness by helping others to find it.”

“I found sound health by living temperately and eating only the food my body requires to maintain itself.”

“I hate no man, envy no man, but love and respect all mankind.”

“I am engaged in a labor of love with which I mix play generously; therefore, I seldom grow tired.”

“I pray daily, not for more riches but for more wisdom with which to recognize, embrace, and enjoy the great abundance of riches I already possess.”

“I speak no name save only to honor it, and I slander no man for any cause whatsoever.”

“I ask no favors of anyone except the privilege of sharing my blessings with all who desire them.”

“I am on good terms with my conscience; therefore, it guides me accurately in everything I do.”

“I have more material wealth than I need because I am free from greed and covet only those things I can use constructively while I live. My wealth comes from those whom I have benefited by sharing my blessings.”

“The estate of Happy Valley which I own is not taxable. It exists mainly in my own mind, in intangible riches that cannot be assessed for taxation or appropriated except by those who adopt my way of life. I created this estate over a lifetime of effort by observing nature’s laws and forming habits to conform with them.”

Joe and Larry
by Jim Stovall

There are several questions we can ask ourselves to perform a sort of self-examination to determine how mature, well adjusted, and enlightened we are. One of these questions is: Am I happy when my relatives, friends, or colleagues succeed? Almost all of us would agree that we don’t want our acquaintances or loved ones to fail, but the question remains, do we want them to experience success far beyond our own? This question reveals whether we believe the universe to be infinite or finite, meaning that someone else’s success could limit our own possibilities.

Most of us played ball of one sort or another when we were kids. Everyone wanted to be the best ballplayer on the block. I just read a fascinating book about a man named Joe who was such a great ballplayer that he was drafted into Major League Baseball when he was just 16. But Joe wasn’t even the best ballplayer who lived on his block. It turned out that Larry was the best ballplayer on the block, and they both played the same position. Joe and Larry were catchers, so even though Joe made it to the Major Leagues, Larry was even more successful in the Big Leagues and was enshrined in the Hall of Fame.

After their playing careers, Joe and Larry both pursued sports broadcasting. Larry found some success doing color commentary on Major League broadcasts, but Joe made it big with a national network and was later honored for his broadcasting prowess in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Throughout their lives, Joe and Larry were inevitably compared to one another. When Joe was asked how it felt to be a Big League catcher after never being recognized as the best catcher in his neighborhood, he told how proud he was of Larry and how lucky he was to have Larry as a friend. After he retired as a player and began broadcasting, Larry was asked how it felt to be a Hall of Fame player on the field but then have his friend Joe eclipse his success as a broadcaster. Larry spoke fondly of Joe and how proud he was of Joe’s great success as a broadcaster.

You and I can learn a lot from Joe Garagiola and Lawrence “Yogi” Berra. They were both great successes in their professional and personal lives. They realized that their own success should not be compared to anything other than their own potential. They both knew the satisfaction that comes from doing your best and succeeding while enjoying the greater success of a friend.

Joe Garagiola became famous for broadcasting sports as well as being the host of the Today Show. Beyond becoming a Hall of Fame baseball player, Yogi Berra became famous for a number of his offbeat sayings that carried a deeper seed of truth, but we would miss the bigger story of Joe and Larry if we didn’t understand how their combined success positively impacted them both.

As you go through your day today, strive for your own success, and celebrate the success of others.

Today’s the day!

The Path to Personal Power

by Napoleon Hill

This true lost manuscript from the “grandfather of self-help,” Napoleon Hill provides timeless wisdom on how to attain a more successful and wealthy life using simple principles.

Napoleon Hill first wrote The Path to Personal Power in 1941, intending it as a handbook for people lifting themselves out of the Great Depression. But upon the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America’s entrance into World War II, these lessons were put aside and largely forgotten–until today.

Discovered in the archives of the Napoleon Hill Foundation, this never-before-published work is made up of three easily digested lessons, each its own chapter: Definiteness of Purpose; the Master Mind; and Going the Extra Mile.

This concise book is a powerful road map that leads to a single discovery–you already have the power to attain whatever wealth, success, and prosperity you desire in life. All you need to do is walk the path without straying, and the rest will follow.

Using these lessons, you have principles to live by that will help you stay on your own personal path to power, and achieve success that you never thought possible.

Will be released on July 18, 2017 on Amazon.com

 

How to Own Your Own Mind

by Napoleon Hill

Locked in a vault since 1941, here is Napoleon Hill’s definitive lesson on how to organize your thinking to attain success!

In How to Own Your Mind, you receive a one-of-a-kind master class in how to think for success from motivational pioneer and author of Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill. In three compelling chapters, Hill demonstrates how to organize, prioritize, and act on information so that it translates into opportunity.

Knowledge is not power. Only applied knowledge is power. This book teaches you how to use what you know, and how to know what’s worth knowing.

“The name Napoleon Hill is synonymous with practical advice on how to get ahead.”—Mitch Horowitz, CNBC.com

Will be released on September 19th on Amazon.com

 

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
