Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Sixteen: The Golden Rule” by Napoleon Hill

There is an eternal law through the operation of which we reap that which we sow. When you select the rule of conduct by which you guide yourself in your transactions with others, you will be fair and just, very likely, if you know that you are setting into motion, by that selection, a power that will run its course for weal or woe in the lives of others, returning, finally, to help or to hinder you, according to its nature.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Fifteen: Tolerance” by Napoleon Hill

Intolerance is a form of ignorance which must be mastered before any form of enduring success may be attained. It is the chief cause of all wars. It makes enemies in business and in the professions. It disintegrates the organized forces of society in a thousand forms, and stands, like a mighty giant, as a barrier to the abolition of war. It dethrones reason and substitutes mob psychology in its place.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Twelve: Concentration” by Napoleon Hill

Lesson 12 of the Sixteen Laws of Success occupies a keystone position in this course, for the reason that the psychological law upon which it is based is of vital importance to every other lesson of the course. Lesson 12 is on Concentration – the act of focusing the mind upon a given desire until ways and means for its realization have been worked out and successfully put into operation. Stating it in another way, Concentration is the ability to think as you wish to think; the ability to control your thoughts and direct them to a definite end; and the ability to organize your knowledge into a plan of action that is sound and workable.

Success Passage: Old Man Worry by Napoleon Hill

Worry is a State of Mind based upon Fear. It works slowly, but persistently. It is insidious and subtle. Step by step it “digs itself in” until it paralyzes one’s reasoning faculty, destroys self-confidence and initiative. Worry is a form of sustained fear caused by indecision; therefore, it is a state of mind which can be controlled. Kill the Habit of Worry, in all its forms, by reaching a general, blanket Decision that nothing which Life has to offer is worth the price of Worry.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Eleven: Accurate Thought” by Napoleon Hill

Accurate thought involves two fundamentals which all who indulge in it must observe. First, to think accurately you must separate facts from mere information.

Second, you must separate facts into two classes; namely, the important and the unimportant, or, the relevant and the irrelevant. Only by so doing can you think clearly.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Ten: Pleasing Personality” by Napoleon Hill

What is an ATTRACTIVE personality? Of course, the answer is: A personality that attracts. But what causes a personality to attract? By far the most important part of your personality is that which is represented by your character . . . Even the manner in which you shake hands forms an important part of your personality, and goes a very long way toward attracting or repelling those with whom you shake hands. The vitality of your body – sometimes called personal magnetism – also constitutes an important part of your personality . . . Now let us proceed to arrange these outward mediums through which the nature of our personality is expressed, so that it will attract and not repel.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Nine: The Habit of Doing More Than Paid For” by Napoleon Hill

This entire lesson is devoted to the offering of evidence that it really pays to render more service and better service than one is paid to render. What an empty and useless effort this would be if the author had not, himself, practiced this rule long enough to be able to say just how it works out . . . When a man is engaged in work that he loves, it is no hardship for him to do more work and better work than that for which he is paid, and for this very reason, every man owes it to himself to do his best to find the sort of work he likes best.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Seven: Enthusiasm” by Napoleon Hill

Enthusiasm is a state of mind that inspires and arouses one to put action into the task at hand. It does more than this – it is contagious, and vitally affects not only the enthusiast, but all with whom he comes in contact. When your own mind is vibrating at a high rate, because it has been stimulated with Enthusiasm, that vibration registers in the minds of all within its radius, and especially in the minds of those with whom you come in close contact. In Lesson Seven, Napoleon Hill demonstrates that Enthusiasm is not merely a figure of speech; it is a vital force that you can harness and use with profit.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Six: Imagination” by Napoleon Hill

You will see how important is the subject of imagination when you stop to realize that it is the only thing in the world over which you have absolute control. Others may deprive you of your material wealth and cheat you in a thousand ways, but no man can deprive you of the control and use of your imagination. Men may deal with you unfairly, as men often do; they may deprive you of your liberty, but they cannot take from you the privilege of using your imagination as you wish.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Four: The Habit of Saving” by Napoleon Hill

The saving of money is solely a matter of habit. For this reason this lesson begins with a brief analysis of the Law of Habit. The rule is that if a man follows the systematic habit of saving a definite proportion of all money he earns or receives in other ways, he is practically sure to place himself in a position of financial independence. If he saves nothing, he IS ABSOLUTELY SURE NEVER TO BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT, no matter how much his income may be.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Three: Self-Confidence” by Napoleon Hill

The development of Self-confidence starts with the elimination of this demon called fear, which sits upon a man’s shoulder and whispers into his ear, “You can’t do it – you are afraid to try – you are afraid of public opinion – you are afraid that you will fail – you are afraid you have not the ability.” Science has found a deadly weapon with which to put it to flight, and this lesson on Self-confidence has brought you this weapon for use in your battle with the world-old enemy of progress, fear.

Free Success Ebook: “The Law of Success – Lesson Two: A Definite Chief Aim” by Napoleon Hill

The object of this lesson is not to inform you as to what your lifework should be, for indeed this could be done with accuracy only after you had been completely analyzed, but it is intended as a means of impressing upon your mind a clear conception of the value of a definite purpose of some nature, and of the value of understanding the principle of organized effort as a means of attaining the necessary power with which to materialize your definite purpose.

Success Passage: Your Source of Power by Napoleon Hill

Your mind is your own and your state of mind is something you can control completely. You are the sole supervisor of its reactions to every circumstance which affects your life. No one can control the actions of others or the many circumstances of life which tend to make one angry, but you can control your reactions to these actions and circumstances. Learn to close the door of your mind and shut out negative reactions if you wish to find peace of mind and prosperity.

Success Strategy: Leave Your Comfort Zone Behind and Do It Afraid

There is a kind of Fear that lurks within our conscious and subconscious minds that is not natural; and, worse, in the long run, it does us harm. This type of Fear is self-induced, pernicious and irrational. It works in stealth mode and its objective is simple: to keep Change and Growth at bay and keep you locked in your “Comfort Zone.” If you are ever going to advance in life and seek to be, do and have more, you must – necessarily – leave the cozy confines of your Comfort Zone. There is no other way. Period.
