I think Napoleon Hill was disciplined, at least in some areas. He was particular about his food and his health, and he lived to be eighty-seven. He followed a pretty strict routine for most of his life. He smoked a cigar occasionally, and he said sometimes he had a drink or two, but they never caused him problems...
I have learned that reading good books leads to a better future and a life of worthwhile purpose—and you can learn this same important lesson. When you plan for success, it will be absolutely necessary that you maintain a good reading program...
I remember that when I was a young person, several weeks before Christmas, I was not thinking about toys or clothes that I might receive as gifts. I was thinking of ways to make money.

You should relate to your belief system or faith as a source of energy, but if there is a secret, it is this: action is a key component.

This is the kind of thinking that was forced upon us in our younger days when we had to find the solution to a problem in mathematics, or when we tackled psychology in college...
