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

Dear Readers,

Jim Stovall and Ray H. Hull, Ph.D., recently published a book called The Art of Communication. I think Jim and Ray could not have picked a better time to release this book because it appears that effective communication has been lost in today’s world. I would like to point out that not everyone has lost the ability to communicate properly, but the manner we all communicate can be improved.

As the authors point out in their book, communication is a system of purely human interaction that can be either verbal or nonverbal. As we are pursuing success in our lives, it is important that we learn the skills necessary to communicate effectively. It doesn’t matter if we have all of the knowledge or talent in the world, if we cannot communicate with other people, our knowledge is worthless.

If you would like to learn more about how to become an effective communicator, I urge you to read The Art of Communication. It is published by my good friends at Sound Wisdom and is available for purchase on Amazon. I would also like you to remember that when you buy any self-help material, you are simply investing in yourself. Whenever someone asks me for investing advice, I always tell them that the best investment one can make, is the investment you make in yourself.

 

I wish you the best,
Don Green
Executive Director Napoleon Hill Foundation

The Law of Success

 

Two Important Laws
by Napoleon Hill

There are two important laws with which you should become familiar. One is the law of compensation and the other is the law of increasing returns. Mankind is dependent upon the operation of these two laws for its very life. If the farmer did not comply with them he could produce no food. Let us see how he must necessarily observe these laws plus the principle of going the extra mile, whether he consciously recognizes it or not.

The farmer must clear the soil of trees and shrubs. Then he must plow, harrow and fertilize where necessary. After this he must put seed in the soil. He must mix intelligence with his labor, observing the proper season of the year for planting, the correct method of crop culture, and the right irrigation and cultivation techniques.

With these steps completed, he has done all he can do. Up to this point he has not been paid for his labor. He has literally done more than he has been paid for! Now he must wait for nature to germinate the seed and for time to elapse, during which growth occurs and a crop is produced.

If the farmer has performed his labor intelligently, nature will reward him through the law of compensation, by which she neither permits any living thing to get something for nothing, nor allows any form of labor to go unrewarded. This law assures the return of the seed which was planted. But with a return of the seed alone, nothing would have been gained by the process, and no food could be produced for man or beast.

There must be another law operating at the same time. It is the law of increasing returns, for there is an increase in the amount produced over the amount planted. Nature gives back to the farmer the seed he planted in the ground plus a margin of many times the amount of seed. This is his reward for having done more than he was temporarily paid for. This unvarying law always rewards intelligent effort rendered in the attitude of faith, and rendered unstintingly without regard to the limits of immediate compensation.

Now you can understand the statement that this strategic principle of rendering more and better service than one is presently paid for is not a man-made law. Of course, you may think that these examples are simple. They are simple enough so far as effects are concerned, but you would hardly consider the cause behind them as simple. That cause is as profound and imponderable as the other laws by which this planet and the entire universe are maintained in an orderly and harmonious manner throughout time and space.

Nature has definite, established laws and principles to which man must adapt himself if he wishes to live successfully. It is not necessary for us to grasp the broad meaning and purpose of these laws. All we need do is observe their existence and adapt our actions to them.

The 17-Year Headache
by Jim Stovall

In 1923, there was a baseball player named Wally Pipp who was the starting first-baseman for the New York Yankees. He had a great position on an elite team, and his future seemed bright until one day he showed up at the ballpark and didn’t really feel like playing that particular game, so Wally Pipp told the Yankees’ manager he had a headache. The manager was frustrated with Wally Pipp because it didn’t seem that his headache was very serious, but the manager called to one of the reserve players telling him he would be playing first base that day. That reserve baseball player covered first base during that game as well as virtually every game for the next 17 years.

Lou Gehrig became known as The Iron Horse and set a Major League baseball record of playing in 2,130 consecutive games. This record for reliability and consistency in playing consecutive games stood for over 50 years. Had Wally Pipp only had the hindsight perspective that you and I have today, I’m certain his headache would have cleared up, and he would have taken his position at first base for that game in 1923. Reliability and dependability are as valuable as talent and high performance. It doesn’t matter how well you can play if you don’t show up.

To date, I have written over 40 books, and eight of them have been turned into movies. This has given me the opportunity to work on the film set and in auditioning and casting actors. I have had the privilege of having James Garner, Brian Dennehy, Raquel Welch, and Academy Award-winner Louis Gossett Jr. appear in my movies. They each have an incredible gift and great talent, but one of the vital elements we look at when hiring cast members is their track record for reliability. Movie production can cost tens of thousands of dollars each day, and an actor who doesn’t show up and perform consistently can halt the entire project.

My company, the Narrative Television Network, makes movies, TV shows, and educational programming accessible for the 13 million blind and visually-impaired Americans as well as millions more around the world. Our talented team has been recognized with an Emmy Award, a Media Access Award, and the top scriptwriting honor from the Writers Foundation of America, but the element in which I take the greatest pride is the fact that as we enter our 30th television season having produced literally thousands of programs, we have never missed a deadline.

Whatever you choose to do in your career and in your life, always give it your best, and that begins with reliability and dependability.

As you go through your day today, remember the lesson from Wally Pipp.

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.
