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!”

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

Dear Readers,

You will discover that your belief system is needed if you are to turn desire into reality. Your belief system starts with the suggestions that you make to your subconscious mind. A belief is a part of you, giving you the realization that you have within you the ability to achieve what you think you can achieve as long as you desire to do so.

First and foremost, once you have the faith to achieve, you will acquire the necessary strength to bring about the goal you have in mind. You will begin to notice things, ideas, and people that can assist you. Belief in yourself will put you in touch with opportunities that you were not conscious of before you developed this belief.

Each accomplishment will add to this belief in yourself, and you will be truly in the small minority that uses belief in a positive manner to reach heights that others only dream of.

In this excerpt from our new book Adversity and Advantage, Napoleon Hill shares with us his unique way of using autosuggestion.

 

I wish you the best,
Don Green
Executive Director

Yes, I do have a workable system, and I am happy to share it with all who are ready to accept it and put it to work. The system consists of what I am pleased to call my Guiding Princes. There are nine of these invisible servants each of whom has been assigned a definite job to do on my behalf. The combined responsibility of the nine Princes is that of giving me a well-rounded and properly balanced life suited to the carrying out of my major purpose in life, which is that of helping people to take possession of their own minds.

In describing the Princes I will present them in the order that I communicate with them many times daily for the purpose of expressing my gratitude for the services they render me, beginning with—The Prince of Sound Health.

It is this Prince’s responsibility to vitalize every individual cell and individual organ of my body, and to keep my physical body continually free from unfriendly elements so that I may enjoy perfect health. It is also the duty of this Prince to give me the wisdom with which to cooperate intelligently in doing my part to keep my body healthy and efficient.

The Prince of Prosperity is charged with the responsibility of keeping me supplied with every material substance I desire or need, including money, from sources where I have earned the right to have these blessings, and it is the responsibility of this Prince to give me the wisdom with which to use wisely all riches of every nature that I may receive.

The Prince of Peace of Mind is charged with the responsibility of keeping my mind free from the causes of fear and worry and of keeping my mind always open and free from intolerance of every nature. This Prince also screens my mind against the encroachment of all thoughts and forces except those which I invite.

The Prince of Hope reveals to me images of the future which inspire and aid me in the daily performance of my duties, and which give me the courage to make beginnings before I can foresee the endings, in my chosen field of labor.

The Prince of Faith keeps the passageway between my mind and Infinite Intelligence constantly open and protects me against the acceptance of unnecessary limitations and negative thoughts in the performance of my duties. This Prince also inspires me to undertake and to successfully complete aims and purposes which many people would regard as impossible of attainment.

The Prince of Love keeps me eternally youthful in both body and mind and relates me to my fellow man in a spirit of understanding which gives me a wide latitude of opportunity to be of service to people of all races and all creeds.

The Prince of Romance makes all of my tasks and activities a labor of love and keeps me eternally alerted to the truth that no human experience is ever wasted or lost except by one’s negative mental attitude toward it.

The Prince of Patience gives me the self-discipline I need in order to adjust myself in all my human relationships so that I may deal justly and fairly with everyone under all circumstances. It also keeps me reminded that time and the proper timing of my acts and deeds can solve problems which yield to nothing else.

The Prince of Overall Wisdom keeps the other eight Princes eternally active in my behalf, while I sleep as well as when I am awake, and so relates me to every circumstance which touches my life that I benefit by it whether the circumstance be pleasant or unpleasant. And this Prince reveals to me the seed of an equivalent advantage which exists in connection with every adversity I may encounter.

There you have a description of my little army of invisible servants through whom I avail myself of that profound privilege granted to me by my Creator, to take full possession of my own mind and direct it to ends of my own choice.

Desire, Faith, and Persistence

In writing his letter of gratitude to Napoleon Hill, Jerry Snider points out the power of persistence. He has read, re-read, and lived Napoleon Hill’s message for over forty years. Many of us who have read Think and Grow Rich multiple times understand the feeling of discovering a nugget of wisdom that had been overlooked in all previous encounters with Dr. Hill’s work. It’s a living example of the classic truth that when the student is ready, the teacher arrives.

Dear Napoleon,

Thank you for writing Think And Grow Rich. I have read it cover to cover many times since I first discovered it in 1980. It never fails to give me new insights and inspiration. Here is my personal testimony illustrating desire, faith, and persistence.

THREE MONTHS AGO THIS SOUNDED LIKE A GOOD IDEA.

“It’s very hard, in the beginning, to understand that the whole idea is not to beat the other runners. Eventually, you learn that the competition is against the little voice inside you that wants you to quit.” —Dr. George Sheehan, runner and author I celebrated my 65th birthday—and a week later lined up in the early morning darkness with thousands of people on a street in Columbus, Ohio. We were there to take part in a marathon. Fireworks, music, and the roar of spectators started the 26.2-mile race at 7:30 A.M.

Running with a pace group, our goal was to finish the course in 4 hours and 30 minutes. The weather was ideal and the long hours and many miles of preparation had me glowing with confidence. The estimated crowd of 150,000 strung out along the route was about to see a senior citizen glide his way to the finish line with the grace of a ballet dancer. And for 14 miles, the people watching me, I’m sure, were more than pleased with my performance.

For months leading up to my birthday, I had been telling everyone within the range of my voice how I was going to celebrate by running in this race. Sounding like Muhammad Ali, I boasted…“I am going to shock the world. I’m going to run ten minutes faster than the world record. The army is going to name a bullet after me. They are going to paint my picture on the next rocket to Mars. And they are even going to dig up Ed Sullivan just so I can be on his show.”

Apparently my left foot and ankle, which had given me trouble in the past, didn’t recall any of my promises. They decided I had run far enough. And if I was going to finish this race, it would be without their cooperation.

Now my goal for the remaining 12 miles and 365 yards to the finish line would be to win the battle between the voice in my head and the pain shooting up my body. One voice was cheering me on and the other was urging me to hail a taxi.

I gimped my way to the next mile and then the next mile… looking back now and then to see if anyone was behind me. What I needed I found at mile 18. Someone had posted a sign: THREE MONTHS AGO THIS SOUNDED LIKE A GOOD IDEA.

Suddenly, my face remembered how to smile, and now I was back in the race—at least from the neck up. After all, marathons are designed to test our mettle.

Recalling some sage advice I had heard long ago from Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, author of The Power of Positive Thinking, “It’s always too soon to quit.” I gimped on.

Six hours, 11 minutes and 4 seconds after the starting gun—I crossed the finish line.

Just wait till next year.

ADVERSITY & ADVANTAGE
(coming in November 2021)

An inspiring guide to facing difficult times with strength and courage—the only true path to success—from the greatest voice in personal success literature, Napoleon Hill.

This newly annotated work from the Napoleon Hill Foundation collects a series of radio interviews Napoleon Hill gave as the world healed from the Second World War. With the world still recovering from the wounds, physical and mental, that accumulated from the conflict, Napoleon Hill felt that he could not enjoy retirement without coming forward one last time to deliver this series of talks. Hill’s message was that success cannot be achieved without failure. Strength and innovation in the face of adversity is the only true success—exactly the kind of message that many readers will want to hear after a global pandemic has caused upset and conflict around the world today. Hill gives his advice for conditioning the mind for success, identifying the three great markers of failure, and more, in this valuable and inspiring guide.

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.
