Napolean Hill - Think and Grow Rich

I've read a lot of material on success and motivation. Not much has gotten me as inspired as this book did. Take into account it was published in 1938 and it's sold over 30 million copies and countintg to date. Thats impressive, very impressive. If you haven't read it yet do yourself a favor and grab a copy.

The author was funded by Andrew Carnegie (arguably one of the most powerful men in the world in his time) to interview 500 of the most successful men in in the world. Of these 500 were such notable names as :

Thomas Edison (light bulbs, you know the little things that help uis see in the dark!)
Alexander Graham Bell (the phone guy)
George Eastman (take a picture it'll last longer)
Henry Ford (F.ixed O.r R.epaired D.aily M.y A.ss!)
Joey Stalin ( thats right, STALIN)
Big Teddy Roosevelt (if the name Roosevelt doen't say winner I donr know whay does)

Thats just a short list of the 500 successful people that he interviewed to write this book. His job was simple, Carnegie knew and believed that his success was somethig that could be duplicated if someone were to 'unlock' a formula for it. So Hill spoke with the successful gentlement to discover what made them all such a success, what separates them from the average folk.

What he would come to realize and discover was that quite literally "thoughts become things". If you don't believe or already know it you need to definatey look into it. Maybe you've heard some of the mumbo jumbo 'hype', but you still can't get over the fact that your in the place you are because x > determines y. The fact is actually that A > determines B, and YOU ARE 'A' !

Now some people take it as a matter of simple awareness. You may see results of altering your own luck only because your were aware of the opporuntity where before you may of passed right by it. This is true. You will notice what you are attuned to. However, once you begin to act on an inteniont you set fourth for yourself a string of odd and unlikely 'coincidences' will occur.
This cannot be denied.

The facts are in the science. Quantum physics are now starting to allude to fact that there may be something out there, in here ..err all around us we cannot explain so easily.

Check out the articles I've posted on Quantum Physics and The Strangest Secret for further proof you may not be as helpless as you think you are.
