Positive Mental Attitude:
A System of Success


Sign up today!

Dear Student of Napoleon Hill,

This online distance learning course presents and examines the principles of success researched and developed by Dr. Napoleon Hill and others. It provides a framework for students to better understand life’s opportunities and the need for definiteness of purpose.

The class is based on and structured around Hill’s 17 Principles of Success. Each lesson focuses on one principle and contains online reading assignments, points to ponder, chapter quizzes, Napoleon Hill vintage audio and just released video, articles from the Think and Grow Rich and PMA Adviser newsletters, class discussion questions, journal writing assignments and, other activities that help reinforce the principle being studied. Each student in the class has a personalized relationship with a fully accredited and approved instructor for Napoleon Hill Distance Learning Courses. The class concludes with an assignment dealing with an individualized plan for personal success.

It is because we sincerely feel that every reader of Think and Grow Rich should go on into this post graduate course, that we take the liberty here of giving a few brief side lights upon this brilliant work. Napoleon Hill’s Course presents the true Philosophy upon which all lasting success is built. Ideas, when translated into intelligent plans of action, are the beginning of all successful achievement. So this course proceeds to show you how to create practical ideas for every human need. It does it in easy-to-understand lessons. Napoleon Hill spent the better part of twenty-five years in perfecting this Philosophy of Success.

During the long years he has worked on it, some parts or the whole of it, have been reviewed and praised by many of the greatest Americans of our times. Among them are included four Presidents of the United States, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Wm. H. Taft; Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank, Wm. J. Wrigley, Alexander Graham Bell, Judge E. H. Gary, Cyrus H. K. Curtis, Edward Bok, E.M. Statler — dozens of glowing names in Politics, Finance, Education, Invention.

Don’t waste your own precious years blindly searching for the hidden road to the heights. Profit by the dearly brought experience of America’s leaders. Over 500 great and prominent men of America were minutely analyzed — their methods, motives, strategy — to find out the secrets that put them on top. No matter whether you are rich or poor — you have one asset as great as the richest man living — and that is TIME. But with each setting sun you become one day older, and have one day less in which to attain the success and wealth you desire. Thousands of progressive people throughout the North American continent have realized this mighty truth, and have sought the help so clearly and inspiringly taught in Napoleon Hill. You cannot afford to let day after day slip into eternity, without getting possession of this course. You will profit greatly from the lessons in Think and Grow Rich. You will take even more brilliant and gratifying rewards from this course. The cost is trifling; the benefits are tremendous.

“I am a graduate of my Grandfather’s philosophy. I studied Napoleon Hill for years, reading Think and Grow Rich now eight times. I even used his philosophy to change my life —twice! In spite of this, the course pulled the philosophy all together for me and gave me a deeper understanding!”

~ Dr. J.B. Hill
(Napoleon Hill’s Grandson)

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

Dear Readers,

Desire, persistence, accurate thinking, and the Master Mind are principles that stand out in Think and Grow Rich. Another important one is concentration. This simply means keeping your mind on what you want and off what you don’t want.

Incidentally, the important principle of going the extra mile is not explicitly in either Law of Success or Think and Grow Rich. The idea is there, but the actual words “go the extra mile” first appeared in one of the other books, How to Sell Your Way through Life, published in 1939.

He attributes his success following failure to the habit of performing more and better service than he was being paid for. This trait was the precursor of two of his principles of success: Learning from Adversity and Defeat and Going the Extra Mile.

In this excerpt from PMA: Science of Success, Napoleon Hill shares with us two important laws that I believe are essential to our continuing success. As we end one season and begin another, this is a good time to reflect on the harvest we produced.

 

I wish you the best,
Don Green

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.

For example, the action and reaction may be seen everywhere and in everything. Nature’s budget is always balanced. Everything has its opposite equivalent: positive and negative in every unit of energy. Day and night. Hot and cold. Summer and winter. Good and evil; Up and down. Success and failure. Sweet and sour. Happiness and misery. The pendulum swings back the same distance it swings forward. And so it is in human relationships and in the rendering of personal service. For whatsoever a man soweth that also shall he reap, the Good Books says, Galatians chapter 6, verse 7. One should remember that the kind of seed he sows is important, because every seed yields a harvest after its own kind.

Now let us consider the variety of ways in which man is paid for going the extra mile. Animals of an order lower than man receive nothing for their labor but the food and protection essential to their existence. Man, however, has been given the power to command and receive the bounties of the earth in whatever form and quantity he desires because he can translate his thoughts into material things.

Man is the greatest handiwork of The Creator and has the privilege of becoming self-determining. He has been granted the right of control over his own thought power. Through the exercise of this divine gift man has a voluntary avenue of approach to Infinite Intelligence. This means that he can place the forces of the entire universe behind his plans and purposes.

Lesson from a Legend
by Jim Stovall

 

One of the many privileges arising from my work at the Narrative Television Network is the opportunity to meet and interview really wonderful people from all walks of life. Many of these encounters were compiled into my second book entitled Success Secrets of Super Achievers. The thought being that success is a pattern; it can be observed, followed, and duplicated.

I am reminded of my interview with Steve Allen, who is probably best known for his work in television as the creator of The Tonight Show as we know it today. Few people know that Mr. Allen has written over 5,000 songs and has a Grammy Award to his credit. He has written 32 books, and he was working on his newest one the day I showed up to interview him at his office at the studio in California.

The most amazing thing I found about Steve Allen is that he is a very ordinary, common man. He felt most comfortable talking with the camera people and the crew, and was very unpretentious. When it was time for the interview, the attitude he displayed was “I’ll do my job, and you do your job.”

I believe he revealed the secret of his success when he said, “I try to never lose touch with the common man. I just visualize a guy at home watching television, and if I can come to him at his level, he will relate to me and feel good about me.”

In his own way as a worldwide celebrity and one of the most talented and gifted people of our generation, Steve Allen has found the secret to greatness, which is his own personal form of the Golden Rule: Treat others as you would like to be treated. Not because it is some outdated theory, but instead, because you really believe everyone in the world has a vital function to perform, and everyone should be treated with respect.

As we go through our day seeking to elevate ourselves toward what we believe to be success, let us never forget the lesson from the legend, Steve Allen: Treat everyone in the world as if they are a star, and the world will collectively make you a star.

Today’s the day!

Master-Key to Riches

Self-Confidence Formula

by Napoleon Hill

Your formula to build a strong sense of self-worth so that you can better recognize opportunity, take action on your dreams, and enhance your resilience.

A lack of self-confidence is one of the greatest maladies of today’s world, one that is responsible for the rampant helplessness, lack of self-control, aimlessness, procrastination, and despair that characterize modern society. But as the venerable steel magnate Andrew Carnegie emphasized to Hill, “Confidence is a state of mind, necessary to succeed, and the starting point of developing self-confidence is definiteness of purpose.”

The time for self-doubt and self-criticism is over. Your faith in yourself and your abilities determines whether you fail or succeed. Napoleon Hill’s Self-Confidence Formula enables you to boost your self-confidence through the application of Hill’s strategies for controlling your thoughts. By implementing these principles, you will not only be able to operate at a higher plane of thought and action—attracting more opportunities, gaining influence, and strengthening relationships—but you will also be able to instill this critical quality in others.

Napoleon Hill’s Self-Confidence Formula gives you the keys to success and fulfillment by equipping you to:

• unlearn fears, insecurities, and limitations acquired in childhood and adolescence
• condition your mind to believe in the certainty of your success
• take bold, confident action on your definite chief aim
• conquer your inferiority complex through the mastermind principle
• build the self-reliance and self-esteem of today’s youth

You are now on the journey to confident, purposeful living. As you implement Hill’s principles, you will cultivate a state of mind primed to accept the abundance reserved for you.
