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

Dear Readers,

In 1934, at the graduation at Wise High School in southwestern Virginia, the commencement speaker was Napoleon Hill, who wrote the eight-volume Law of Success. Hill had become so successful during the years of the Great Depression that the royalties from his book sales allowed him to purchase a Rolls-Royce, which attested to the tremendous demand for his writings on the philosophy of success.

Among the young graduates listening to Hill was Marvin Gilliam. This graduate from Wise High School attended Milligan College in Tennessee. After entering the U.S. Army, Gilliam served as a major with General George Patton in World War II. When the war was over, he returned to Wise High School, where he taught English and history.

I was a student of Mr. Gilliam’s in high school, and I grew to appreciate the quiet genius that he was. I remember one particular day when he read from the poem “Andrea del Sarto” by Robert Browning, in which Browning writes, “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp / Or what’s a heaven for?” I have recalled this incident hundreds and hundreds of times throughout my lifetime. Mr. Gilliam’s single explanation was that one should always try to improve oneself on a daily basis—simple yet profound advice.

After retirement, Mr. Gilliam and his wife, Betty, who taught art at Clinch Valley College, where I was later a student, moved to a nearby town.

One weekend, my wife and I were in the local shopping center, and as we were leaving a cafeteria after lunch, we met Mr. and Mrs. Gilliam and had a very interesting conversation with them. Mr. Gilliam told me that he had read in the newspaper of my involvement with the Napoleon Hill Foundation, and during the conversation, he told me about his 1934 graduation with Napoleon Hill as the commencement speaker.

I asked Mr. Gilliam if he recalled what Hill had spoken about, and he said that Hill had talked about the power of thought. He further remembered that the Wise High School principal, L. F. Addington, had remarked on what an eloquent speaker Hill was. I could not wait to make notes on what my teacher had to say, based upon his own personal experience and eyewitness. I will always treasure my conversation with Mr. and Mrs. Gilliam on that day.

A few years later, I received a call from Mrs. Gilliam, telling me of Mr. Gilliam’s death. She asked me to be a pallbearer, which I considered to be an honor.

In his classic Think and Grow Rich! first published in 1937, Hill said, “There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge. Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.”

 

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

The Law of Success

THE BRAIN
A BROADCASTING AND RECEIVING STATION FOR THOUGHT
The Twelfth Step toward Riches
by Napoleon Hill

This is the ninth in a series of excerpts from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich.

MORE than twenty years ago, the author, working in conjunction with the late Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, and Dr. Elmer R. Gates, observed that every human brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration of thought.

Through the medium of the ether, in a fashion similar to that employed by the radio broadcasting principle, every human brain is capable of picking up vibrations of thought which are being released by other brains.

In connection with the statement in the preceding paragraph, compare, and consider the description of the Creative Imagination, as outlined in the chapter on Imagination. The Creative Imagination is the “receiving set” of the brain, which receives thoughts, released by the brains of others. It is the agency of communication between one’s conscious, or reasoning mind, and the four sources from which one may receive thought stimuli.

When stimulated, or “stepped up” to a high rate of vibration, the mind becomes more receptive to the vibration of thought which reaches it through the ether from outside sources. This “stepping up” process takes place through the positive emotions, or the negative emotions. Through the emotions, the vibrations of thought may be increased.

Vibrations of an exceedingly high rate are the only vibrations picked up and carried, by the ether, from one brain to another. Thought is energy travelling at an exceedingly high rate of vibration. Thought, which has been modified or “stepped up” by any of the major emotions, vibrates at a much higher rate than ordinary thought, and it is this type of thought which passes from one brain to another, through the broadcasting machinery of the human brain.

The result of sex transmutation, is the increase of the rate of vibration of thoughts to such a pitch that the Creative Imagination becomes highly receptive to ideas, which it picks up from the ether. On the other hand, when the brain is vibrating at a rapid rate, it not only attracts thoughts and ideas released by other brains through the medium of the ether, but it gives to one’s own thoughts that “feeling” which is essential before those thoughts will be picked up and acted upon by one’s subconscious mind.

Thus, you will see that the broadcasting principle is the factor through which you mix feeling, or emotion with your thoughts and pass them on to your subconscious mind.

The subconscious mind is the “sending station” of the brain, through which vibrations of thought arebroadcast. The Creative Imagination is the “receiving set,” through which the vibrations of thought are picked up from the ether.

Through the instructions described in the chapter on auto-suggestion, you were definitely informed of the method by which DESIRE may be transmuted into its monetary equivalent.

Operation of your mental “broadcasting” station is a comparatively simple procedure. You have but three principles to bear in mind, and to apply, when you wish to use your broadcasting station—the SUBCON-SCIOUS MIND, CREATIVE IMAGINATION, and AUTO-SUGGESTION. The stimuli through which you put these three principles into action have been described—the procedure begins with DESIRE.

THE GREATEST FORCES ARE “INTANGIBLE”

The depression brought the world to the very border-line of understanding of the forces which are intangible and unseen. Through the ages which have passed, man has depended too much upon his physical senses, and has limited his knowledge to physical things, which he could see, touch, weigh, and measure.

We are now entering the most marvelous of all ages—an age which will teach us something of the intangible forces of the world about us. Perhaps we shall learn, as we pass through this age, that the “other self” is more powerful than the physical self we see when we look into a mirror.

Sometimes men speak lightly of the intangibles—the things which they cannot perceive through any of their five senses, and when we hear them, it should remind us that all of us are controlled by forces which are unseen and intangible.

The whole of mankind has not the power to cope with, nor to control the intangible force wrapped up in the rolling waves of the oceans. Man has not the capacity to understand the intangible force of gravity, which keeps this little earth suspended in mid-air, and keeps man from falling from it, much less the power to control that force. Man is entirely subservient to the intangible force which comes with a thunderstorm, and he is just as helpless in the presence of the intangible force of electricity—nay, he does not even know what electricity is, where it comes from, or what is its purpose!

Nor is this by any means the end of man’s ignorance in connection with things unseen and intangible. He does not understand the intangible force (and intelligence) wrapped up in the soil of the earth—the force which provides him with every morsel of food he eats, every article of clothing he wears, every dollar he carries in his pockets.

The Key to Happiness
by Jim Stovall

 

In this day-to-day existence that we commonly call life, there are those rare and special moments when we rise above the fray and experience our true destiny. When it is all said and done, I believe that—more than anything else—life is about being happy in the active pursuit of making others happy. Most people are too busy making a living to really have a life. Happiness is often elusive and fleeting.

There are three elements that, when combined, always result in happiness. Like a three-legged stool, they work in tandem. Any two of the three are sorely lacking when the third element is absent.

In order to be truly happy in the largest sense of that word, we must have something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to. Given those three things, we will find ourselves experiencing happiness and joy. Take away one or more of these elements, and we are but groping in the dark for that elusive, missing, intangible, undefinable “something” that we only know exists because we don’t seem to have it.

“Something to do” represents the investment of the most precious commodity that we all have—our time. We all have the same amount of hours and minutes each day. Success and happiness hang in the balance based upon how we invest our time. Many people think that paradise would be a wonderful tropical island where there was nothing to do all day. Great literature is full of examples of people on such islands, totally invested in the pursuit of escaping.

“Someone to love” represents the investment of esteem and caring that we invest in others. In order to experience happiness, we must emotionally get outside of ourselves to affect the outcome of other people’s lives.

“Something to look forward to” is the investment of hope and energy we put forward into a time that has not yet arrived. No one can truly be happy who lives only in the here-and-now. We have to accept the fact that there is more to this existence than we currently have in front of us.

The next time you find yourself experiencing that life of “quiet desperation,” examine your soul and determine whether you’re missing something to do, someone to love, or something to look forward to. Therein lies the key to your happiness.

Today’s the day!
