Think and Grow Rich is a book written by Napoleon Hill, was a journalist and writer. Fortunately he got a chance to take the interview of the richest person of that time Andrew Carnegie. Interview was going well. In the middle of interview Andrew Carnegie put a serious offer in front of Napoleon Hill.
Carnegie said, "I know most of people will fail in trying to figure out everything themselves. So, I will open the door to the 500 richest people in America. So, you can interview them, take all their information, and put it into a series of book to help other young people be successful much faster. But I'm not going to pay you penny."
Napoleon Hill spent 20 years of his lifetime on researching and analyzing 500 of well-known people during his time to come up with his masterpiece. Hill makes some rules for achieve success, which helps millions of people to create fortunes.
Desire
Everyone wants to achieve success but only a few people can achieve it. Have you ever tried to know its reason? Successful people are successful because they have a lot of interest about success. They are ready to go to any extent for success.
The feeling of wanting something very much or a strong wish
Take Colonel Harland David Sanders (Colonel Sanders) as an example- Event after retiring, he went door-to-door walking for an order for his chicken recipe. After listening NO to almost 1000 places, they got to listen first YES. Only after that was the introduction of a food chain, named KFC, which is famous all over the world.
Inside the successful people, the aspirations of success are more than the fear of failure.
Despite the refusal of thousands of people, they run away behind their DREAM, due to which they are successful. That's why you will first awaken your Desire for success.
Faith in your Ability
If you read the story of any successful people, you will find that he believed himself more than anyone else. No one has achieved success without it. They knew that they will achieve what they want to achieve and they will never ever stop until they succeed.
Just like Thomas Alva Edison, despite having failed 10000 times in inventing bulb, his faith did not break and he kept trying and finally invented the bulb and removed darkness.
There is a lot of strength in believing yourself. It can do anything. So, if you want to reach your destination and achieve success, then you must have to believe yourself first.
Auto-Suggestion
To achieve success, you have to change your present behavior. You can change your behavior by talking good about yourself.
Everyone can learn to believe on themselves. If you say to yourself everyday that you can do this work, then one day it will really happen when you do that work. To say such things to yourself, is called Auto-Suggestion.
In Auto-suggestion, we think about things we want to do. By doing that we can take ourselves towards success but for some reason we are not able to do that work. When we repeatedly talk about that matter to ourselves, then one time comes when our mind starts to believe that it is true and we are able to do that work.
With the help of Auto-suggestion, we can learn to believe on ourselves and do everything we want to do. If you are one of those who want to achieve something but can not believe on yourself, then this method is made just for you.
Specialized Knowledge
You need to have some specialized knowledge in order to succeed.
With the coming of knowledge, a lot of work becomes easier. Successful people always keep on increasing their knowledge. They know that they will be as successful as they read. But if you were and success will go away from you.
To get the information you do not need to be admitted to any school, no degree is required. Without going to school, you can get lot of information and can be successful. For this, you have read books of different authors and go to attend educational seminars.
Information/Knowledge does not mean that you remember all the things around the world. It means that knowledge that you can use at the right time in right way and take yourself towards success.
Apart from this, it is also important that you maintain healthy relationship to an expert, so that you can ask them if required.
Imagination
Albert Einstein says, "Being intelligent does not mean how much you know, being intelligent means how much you can imagine."
Imagination is the only way by which you can transfer your dream into ideas and ideas into reality.
Imaginations are two types
-
Creative Imagination
In this kind of imagination, we think of something that has not yet been thought. We try to make something that nobody has ever thought about. This kind of imagination used by inventors to make big things. -
Synthesized Imagination
In this kind of imagination, we mix some small ideas and change into a new big idea. Example: Sony used this kind of imagination to build MP3 player. Similarly Walkman was invented.
Sometimes creative and synthesized imagination worked together.
If you want your imagination to remain intact then keep imagine time to time. The more you imagine, the better your imagination will keep growing.
Organized Planning
You can get success in life only when you know what you want to achieve and then plan your way.
By following below steps, you plan your action way -
- If you want to become a millionaire then first of all decide how much money you want to earn (Exact amount. Don't think like that I have to make lot of money.)
- Set the end date, till you get that amount. (Set a particular date. If you thought that I wanted to earn money, but did not think of how long to earn, you would never be able to earn those amount.)
- Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such a reality as "something for nothing")
- You create a definite plan to achieve your goal and then, you are ready or not. You start work according to your plan
- Write it clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
- Read written statement a loud, twice a day, first time after arising in morning and second time before retiring at the night. As you read, see and feel and believe yourself, already in possession of the money.
By doing this, you can keep eye on your work and motivate yourself to do it.
With your strengths, pay attention to your weaknesses too.
Many of us are not ready to accept that we have many drawbacks, by improving this, we can take ourselves forward. The same thing prevents us from succeeding. For this, first of all try to find out about yourself.
You can ask yourself such questions to know about yourself
- Have I completed this year's goal?
- Could I have been able to work more this years?
- Could I have made better decisions?
Such questions will tell you, where you are making mistakes. This will tell you how you can improve yourself. Many habits already present in all of us. These habits includes, laziness, avoiding today's work for tomorrow, not doing what it should do.
You have always kept a list of work in which you write those works that you have to do. If you are not able to finish those tasks within the given time, then the time has come, to know where you are making mistakes.
After knowing yourself fully, if you want, you can ask someone else about your own behavior too. In this way, you can make better Yourself by knowing your weaknesses.
The Subconscious Mind
Our conscious mind knows how to distinguish between good and bad things. That's why it keeps the things of his work with him, and throwing out the things that are worthless. But this does not happen with our subconscious mind. It keeps good and bad things with him. It is therefore necessary that you keep yourself away from negative / bad people and bad things.
Our subconscious mind stores every kind of information because of which our behavior is similar like that. So, if you live with unsuccessful people then you are also unsuccessful.
So, if you want to succeed then you have to live with good thinking and successful peoples.
Decision And Persistence
Many people can not stay long on decision taken by themselves. This is the same people who are unsuccessful. They leave their decisions taken by themselves in difficult times and pay much attention to those work which is not beneficial for them in long run.
If you can not stand firmly on your decisions then you will never get success. It is very important to be stubborn for success. Peoples will always say a variety of things on your decisions. If you listen to everyone says that you will never get success.
Only the stubborn people win in the race of success.
Whenever we do any work, there are difficulties. When we do not face these difficulties and run away from them then this is not less, but rather gets bigger.
Successful people know this thing very well. That's why they don't panic to see difficulties, rather they face them with full energy and planning.
If you adopt following behaviors, this will help you to achieve success
- To achieve any destination, create a deep desire within yourself.
- Make a plan to get that destination.
- Keep yourself away from negative people.
- Build relationship with those people, who can support you when required.
Power of Master Mind
There are different benefits to working in the team, which can never meet by working alone.
The larger your goal, the group of your master mind should also be as big.
To achieve success in life, you need to create a master mind group.
It is not that you can not succeed alone but working with the team makes it easy to reach to the destination. But you have to be very careful in building this master mind group. If they do not cooperate to each other, you can never achieve the goal with them. So, building such group, working alone is better.
In short - - If you want to succeed in life and live independently then, first of all, you have to create a desire to succeed in yourself and you have to build confidence in yourself that you can succeed. After that you plan your work and finish the work according to your plan. During this time you must have patience and have to believe on yourself that you can reach to your desire goal.
