LAW OF SUCCESS
COURSE

A PERSONAL STATEMENT BY THE
AUTHOR

Some thirty years ago a young clergyman by the


name of Gunsaulus announced in the newspapers of
Chicago that he would preach a sermon the
following Sunday morning entitled:

"WHAT I WOULD DO IF I HAD A MILLION


DOLLARS!"

The announcement caught the eye of Philip D.


Armour, the wealthy packing-house king, who
decided to hear the sermon.
In his sermon Dr. Gunsaulus pictured a great
school of technology where young men and young
women could be taught how to succeed in life by
developing the ability to THINK in practical rather
than in theoretical terms; where they would be
taught to "learn by doing." "If I had a million
dollars," said the young preacher, "I would start
such a school."
After the sermon was over Mr. Armour walked
down the aisle to the pulpit, introduced himself, and
said, "Young man, I believe you could do all you
said you could, and if you will come down to my
office tomorrow morning I will give you the million
dollars you need."
There is always plenty of capital for those who
can create practical plans for using it.
That was the beginning of the Armour Institute of
Technology, one of the very practical schools of the
country. The school was born in the "imagination"
of a young man who never would have been heard of
outside of the community in which he preached had
it not been for the "imagination," plus the capital, of
Philip D. Armour.
Every great railroad, and every outstanding
financial institution and every mammoth business

-4-
enterprise, and every great invention, began in the
imagination of some one person.
F. W. Woolworth created the Five and Ten Cent
Store Plan in his "imagination" before it became a
reality and made him a multimillionaire.
Thomas A. Edison created the talking machine
and the moving picture machine and the
incandescent electric light bulb and scores of other
useful inventions, in his own "imagination," before
they became a reality.
During the Chicago fire scores of merchants
whose stores went up in smoke stood near the
smoldering embers of their former places of
business, grieving over their loss. Many of them
decided to go away into other cities and start over
again. In the group was Marshall Field, who saw, in
his own "imagination," the world's greatest retail
store, standing on the selfsame spot where his
former store had stood, which was then but a ruined
mass of smoking timbers. That store became a
reality.
Fortunate is the young man or young woman who
learns, early in life, to use imagination, and doubly
so in this age of greater opportunity.
Imagination is a faculty of the mind which can be
cultivated, developed, extended and broadened by
use. If this were not true, this course on the Fifteen
Laws of Success never would have been created,
because it was first conceived in the author's
"imagination," from the mere seed of an idea which
was sown by a chance remark of the late Andrew
Carnegie.
Wherever you are, whoever you are, whatever you
may be following as an occupation, there is room
for you to make yourself more useful, and in that
manner more productive, by developing and using
your "imagination."
Success in this world is always a matter of
individual effort, yet you will only be deceiving
yourself if you believe that you can succeed without

-5-
the co-operation of other people. Success is a matter
of individual effort only to the extent that each
person must decide, in his or her own mind, what is
wanted. This involves the use of "imagination."
From this point on, achieving success is a matter of
skillfully and tactfully inducing others to co-
operate.
Before you can secure co-operation from others;
nay, before you have the right to ask for or expect
co-operation from other people, you must first show
a willingness to co-operate with them. For this
reason the eighth lesson of this course, THE HABIT
OF DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR, is one which
should have your serious and thoughtful attention.
The law upon which this lesson is based, would,
of itself, practically insure success to all who
practice it in all they do.
In the back pages of this Introduction you will
observe a Personal Analysis Chart in which ten well
known men have been analyzed for your study and
comparison. Observe this chart carefully and note
the "danger points" which mean failure to those who
do not observe these signals. Of the ten men
analyzed eight are known to be successful, while
two may be considered failures. Study, carefully,
the reason why these two men failed.
Then, study yourself. In the two columns which
have been left blank for that purpose, give yourself
a rating on each of the Fifteen Laws of Success at
the beginning of this course; at the end of the course
rate yourself again and observe the improvements
you have made.
The purpose of the Law of Success course is to
enable you to find out how you may become more
capable in your chosen field of work. To this end
you will be analyzed and all of your qualities
classified so you may organize them and make the
best possible use of them.
You may not like the work in which you are now
engaged.

-6-
There are two ways of getting out of that work.
One way is to take but little interest in what you are
doing, aiming merely to do enough with which to
"get by." Very soon you will find a way out,
because the demand for your services will cease.
The other and better way is by making yourself so
useful and efficient in what you are now doing that
you will attract the favorable attention of those who
have the power to promote you into more
responsible work that is more to your liking.
It is your privilege to take your choice as to
which way you will proceed.
Again you are reminded of the importance of
Lesson Nine of this course, through the aid of which
you may avail yourself of this "better way" of
promoting yourself.
Thousands of people walked over the great
Calumet Copper Mine without discovering it. Just
one lone man used his "imagination," dug down into
the earth a few feet, investigated, and discovered
the richest copper deposit on earth.
You and every other person walk, at one time or
another, over your "Calumet Mine." Discovery is a
matter of investigation and use of "imagination."
This course on the Fifteen Laws of Success may
lead the way to your "Calumet," and you may be
surprised when you discover that you were standing
right over this rich mine, in the work in which you
are now engaged. In his lecture on "Acres of
Diamonds," Russell Conwell tells us that we need
not seek opportunity in the distance; that we may
find it right where we stand! THIS IS A TRUTH
WELL WORTH REMEMBERING!

NAPOLEON HILL,
Author of the Law of Success.

THE LAW OF SUCCESS
Excerpt from Lesson One
THE MASTER MIND

"You Can Do It if You Believe You Can!"

THIS is a course on the fundamentals of Success.


Success is very largely a matter of adjusting one's
self to the ever-varying and changing environments of
life, in a spirit of harmony and poise. Harmony is
based upon understanding of the forces constituting
one's environment; therefore, this course is in reality
a blueprint that may be followed straight to success,
because it helps the student to interpret, understand
and make the most of these environmental forces of
life.
Before you begin reading the Law of Success
lessons you should know something of the history of
the course. You should know exactly what the course
promises to those who follow it until they have
assimilated the laws and principles upon which it is
based. You should know its limitations as well as its
possibilities as an aid in your fight for a place in the
world.
From the viewpoint of entertainment the Law of
Success course would be a poor second for most any

-8-
of the monthly periodicals of the "Snappy Story"
variety which may be found upon the news stands of
today.
The course has been created for the serious-
minded person who devotes at least a portion of his or
her time to the business of succeeding in life. The
author of the Law of Success course has not intended
to compete with those who write purely for the
purpose of entertaining.
The author's aim, in preparing this course, has
been of a two-fold nature, namely, first-to help the
earnest student find out what are his or her
weaknesses, and, secondly-to help create a DEFINITE
PLAN for bridging those weaknesses.
The most successful men and women on earth
have had to correct certain weak spots in their
personalities before they began to succeed. The most
outstanding of these weaknesses which stand between
men and women and success are INTOLERANCE,
CUPIDITY, GREED, JEALOUSY, SUSPICION,
REVENGE, EGOTISM, CONCEIT, THE TENDENCY
TO REAP WHERE THEY HAVE NOT SOWN, and the
HABIT OF SPENDING MORE THAN THEY EARN.
All of these common enemies of mankind, and
many more not here mentioned, are covered by the
Law of Success course in such a manner that any
person of reasonable intelligence may master them
with but little effort or inconvenience.
You should know, at the very outset, that the Law
of Success course has long since passed through the
experimental state; that it already has to its credit a
record of achievement that is worthy of serious

-9-
thought and analysis. You should know, also, that the
Law of Success course has been examined and
endorsed by some of the most practical minds of this
generation.
The Law of Success course was first used as a
lecture, and was delivered by its author in practically
every city and in many of the smaller localities,
throughout the United States, over a period of more
than seven years. Perhaps you were one of the many
hundreds of thousands of people who heard this
lecture.
During these lectures the author had assistants
located in the audiences for the purpose of
interpreting the reaction of those who heard the
lecture, and in this manner he learned exactly what
effect it had upon people. As a result of this study and
analysis many changes were made.
The first big victory was gained for the Law of
Success philosophy when it was used by the author as
the basis of a course with which 3,000 men and
women were trained as a sales army. The majority of
these people were without previous experience, of any
sort, in the field of selling. Through this training they
were enabled to earn more than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000.00) for themselves and paid the author
$30,000.00 for his services, covering a period of
approximately six months.
The individuals and small groups of salespeople
who have found success through the aid of this course
are too numerous to be mentioned in this Introduction,
but the number is large and the benefits they derived
from the course were definite.
The Law of Success philosophy was brought to

- 10 -
the attention of the late Don R. Mellett, former
publisher of the Canton (Ohio) Daily News, who
formed a partnership with the author of the course and
was preparing to resign as publisher of the Canton
Daily News and take up the business management of
the author's affairs when he was assassinated on July
16, 1926.
Prior to his death Mr. Mellett had made
arrangements with judge Elbert H. Gary, who was then
Chairman of the Board of the United States Steel
Corporation, to present the Law of Success course to
every employee of the Steel Corporation, at a total
cost of something like $150,000.00. This plan was
halted because of judge Gary's death, but it proves
that the author of the Law of Success has produced an
educational plan of an enduring nature. Judge Gary
was eminently prepared to judge the value of such a
course, and the fact that he analyzed the Law of
Success philosophy and was preparing to invest the
huge sum of $150,000.00 in it is proof of the
soundness of all that is said in behalf of the course.
You will observe, in this General Introduction to
the course, a few technical terms which may not be
plain to you. Do not allow this to bother you. Make no
attempt at first reading to understand these terms.
They will be plain to you after you read the remainder
of the course. This entire Introduction is intended
only as a background for the other fifteen lessons of
the course, and you should read it as such. You will
not be examined on this Introduction, but you should
read it many times, as you will get from it at each
reading a thought or an idea which you did not get on
previous readings.

- 11 -
In this Introduction you will find a description of
a newly discovered law of psychology which is the
very foundation stone of all outstanding personal
achievements. This law has been referred to by the
author as the "Master Mind," meaning a mind that is
developed through the harmonious co-operation of two
or more people who ally themselves for the purpose of
accomplishing any given task.
If you are engaged in the business of selling you
may profitably experiment with this law of the
"Master Mind" in your daily work. It has been found
that a group of six or seven salespeople may use the
law so effectively that their sales may be increased to
unbelievable proportions.
Life Insurance is supposed to be the hardest thing
on earth to sell. This ought not to be true, with an
established necessity such as life insurance, but it is.
Despite this fact, a small group of men working for
the Prudential Life Insurance Company, whose sales
are mostly small policies, formed a little friendly
group for the purpose of experimenting with the law
of the "Master Mind," with the result that every man
in the group wrote more insurance during the first
three months of the experiment than he had ever
written in an entire year before.
What may be accomplished through the aid of this
principle, by any small group of intelligent life-
insurance salesmen who have learned how to apply the
law of the "Master Mind" will stagger the imagination
of the most highly optimistic and imaginative person.
The same may be said of other groups of
salespeople who are engaged in selling merchandise

and other more tangible forms of service than life
insurance. Bear this in mind as you read this
Introduction to the Law of Success course and it is not
unreasonable to expect that this Introduction, alone,
may give you sufficient understanding of the law to
change the entire course of your life.
It is the personalities back of a business which
determine the measure of success the business will
enjoy. Modify those personalities so they are more
pleasing and more attractive to the patrons of the
business and the business will thrive. In any of the
great cities of the United States one may purchase
merchandise of similar nature and price in scores of
stores, yet you will find there is always one
outstanding store which does more business than any
of the others, and the reason for this is that back of
that store is a man, or men, who has attended to the
personalities of those who come in contact with the
public. People buy personalities as much as
merchandise, and it is a question if they are not
influenced more by the personalities with which they
come in contact than they are by the merchandise.
Life insurance has been reduced to such a
scientific basis that the cost of insurance does not
vary to any great extent, regardless of the company
from which one purchases it, yet out of the hundreds
of life insurance companies doing business less than a
dozen companies do the bulk of the business of the
United States.
Why? Personalities! Ninety-nine people out of
every hundred who purchase life insurance policies do
not know what is in their policies and, what seems
more startling, do not seem to care. What they really

- 14 -
purchase is the pleasing personality of some man or
woman who knows the value of cultivating such a
personality.
Your business in life, or at least the most
important part of it, is to achieve success. Success,
within the meaning of that term as covered by this
course on the Fifteen Laws of Success, is "the
attainment of your Definite Chief Aim without
violating the rights of other people." Regardless of
what your major aim in life may be, you will attain it
with much less difficulty after you learn how to
cultivate a pleasing personality and after you have
learned the delicate art of allying yourself with others
in a given undertaking without friction or envy.
One of the greatest problems of life, if not, in
fact, the greatest, is that of learning the art of
harmonious negotiation with others. This course was
created for the purpose of teaching people how to
negotiate their way through life with harmony and
poise, free from the destructive effects of
disagreement and friction which bring millions of
people to misery, want and failure every year.
With this statement of the purpose of the course
you should be able to approach the lessons with the
feeling that a complete transformation is about to take
place in your personality.
You cannot enjoy outstanding success in life
without power, and you can never enjoy power without
sufficient personality to influence other people to
cooperate with you in a spirit of harmony. This course
shows you step by step how to develop such a
personality.

THE LAW OF SUCCESS
Excerpt from Lesson Two
A Definite Chief Aim

The key-note of this entire lesson may be found


in the word "definite."
It is most appalling to know that ninety-five per
cent of the people of the world are drifting aimlessly
through life, without the slightest conception of the
work for which they are best fitted, and with no
conception whatsoever of even the need of such a
thing as a definite objective toward which to strive.
There is a psychological as well as an economic
reason for the selection of a definite chief aim in life.
Any definite chief aim that is deliberately fixed in
the mind and held there, with the determination to
realize it, finally saturates the entire subconscious
mind until it automatically influences the physical
action of the body toward the attainment of that
purpose.
Your definite chief aim in life should be selected
with deliberate care, and after it has been selected it
should be written out and placed where you will see it
at least once a day, the psychological effect of which
is to impress this purpose upon your subconscious
mind so strongly that it accepts that purpose as a
pattern or blueprint that will eventually dominate your
activities in life and lead you, step by step, toward the
attainment of the object back of that purpose.

- 16 -
The principle of psychology through which you
can impress your definite chief aim upon your
subconscious mind is called Auto-suggestion, or
suggestion which you repeatedly make to yourself. It
is a degree of self-hypnotism, but do not be afraid of
it on that account, for it was this same principle
through the aid of which Napoleon lifted himself from
the lowly station of poverty-stricken Corsican to the
dictatorship of France. It was through the aid of this
same principle that Thomas A. Edison has risen from
the lowly beginning of a news butcher to where he is
accepted as the leading inventor of the world. It was
through the aid of this same principle that Lincoln
bridged the mighty chasm between his lowly birth, in
a log cabin in the mountains of Kentucky, and the
presidency of the greatest nation on earth. It was
through the aid of this same principle that Theodore
Roosevelt became one of the most aggressive leaders
that ever reached the presidency of the United States.
You need have no fear of the principle of
Autosuggestion as long as you are sure that the
objective for which you are striving is one that will
bring you happiness of an enduring nature. Be sure
that your definite purpose is constructive; that its
attainment will bring hardship and misery to no one;
that it will bring you peace and prosperity, then apply,
to the limit of your understanding, the principle of
self-suggestion for the speedy attainment of this
purpose.
On the street corner, just opposite the room in
which I am writing, I see a man who stands there all
day long and sells peanuts. He is busy every minute.
When not actually engaged in making a sale he is
roasting and packing the peanuts in little bags. He is

- 17 -
one of that great army constituting the ninety-five per
cent who have no definite purpose in life. He is
selling peanuts, not because he likes that work better
than anything else he might do, but because he never
sat down and thought out a definite purpose that
would bring him greater returns for his labor. He is
selling peanuts because he is a drifter on the sea of
life, and one of the tragedies of his work is the fact
that the same amount of effort that he puts into it, if
directed along other lines, would bring him much
greater returns.
Another one of the tragedies of this man's work is
the fact that he is unconsciously making use of the
principle of self-suggestion, but he is doing it to his
own disadvantage. No doubt, if a picture could be
made of his thoughts, there would be nothing in that
picture except a peanut roaster, some little paper bags
and a crowd of people buying peanuts. This man could
get out of the peanut business if he had the vision and
the ambition first to imagine himself in a more
profitable calling, and the perseverance to hold that
picture before his mind until it influenced him to take
the necessary steps to enter a more profitable calling.
He puts sufficient labor into his work to bring him a
substantial return if that labor were directed toward
the attainment of a definite purpose that offered
bigger returns.
One of my closest personal friends is one of the
best known writers and public speakers of this
country. About ten years ago he caught sight of the
possibilities of this principle of self-suggestion and
began, immediately, to harness it and put it to work.
He worked out a plan for its application that proved to

- 18 -
be very effective. At that time he was neither a writer
nor a speaker.
Each night, just before going to sleep, he would
shut his eyes and see, in his imagination, a long
council table at which he placed (in his imagination)
certain well known men whose characteristics he
wished to absorb into his own personality. At the end
of the table he placed Lincoln, and on either side of
the table he placed Napoleon, Washington, Emerson
and Elbert Hubbard. He then proceeded to talk to
these imaginary figures that he had seated at his
imaginary council table, something after this manner:
Mr. Lincoln: I desire to build in my own
character those qualities of patience and fairness
toward all mankind and the keen sense of humor which
were your outstanding characteristics. I need these
qualities and I shall not be contented until I have
developed them.
Mr. Washington: I desire to build in my own
character those qualities of patriotism and self-
sacrifice and leadership which were your outstanding
characteristics.
Mr. Emerson: I desire to build in my own
character those qualities of vision and the ability to
interpret the laws of Nature as written in the rocks of
prison walls and growing trees and flowing brooks and
growing flowers and the faces of little children, which
were your outstanding characteristics.
Napoleon: I desire to build in my own character
those qualities of self-reliance and the strategic
ability to master obstacles and profit by mistakes and
develop strength out of defeat, which were your
outstanding characteristics.

- 19 -
Mr. Hubbard: I desire to develop the ability to
equal and even to excel the ability that you possessed
with which to express yourself in clear, concise and
forceful language.
Night after night, for many months, this man saw
these men seated around that imaginary council table
until finally he had imprinted their outstanding
characteristics upon his own subconscious mind so
clearly that he began to develop a personality which
was a composite of their personalities.
The subconscious mind may be likened to a
magnet, and when it has been vitalized and thoroughly
saturated with any definite purpose it has a decided
tendency to attract all that is necessary for the
fulfillment of that purpose. Like attracts like, and you
may see evidence of this law in every blade of grass
and every growing tree. The acorn attracts from the
soil and the air the necessary materials out of which
to grow an oak tree. It never grows a tree that is part
oak and part poplar. Every grain of wheat that is
planted in the soil attracts the materials out of which
to grow a stalk of wheat.
It never makes a mistake and grows both oats and
wheat on the same stalk.
And men are subject, also, to this same Law of
Attraction. Go into any cheap boarding house district
in any city and there you will find people of the same
general trend of mind associated together. On the
other hand, go into any prosperous community and
there you will find people of the same general
tendencies associated together. Men who are
successful always seek the company of others who are
successful, while men who are on the ragged side of

- 20 -
DO NOT “TELL”

THE WORLD

WHAT YOU CAN

DO –

“SHOW” IT!

- 21 -
life always seek the company of those who are in
similar circumstances. "Misery loves company."
Water seeks its level with no finer certainty than
man seeks the company of those who occupy his own
general status financially and mentally. A professor of
Yale University and an illiterate hobo have nothing in
common. They would be miserable if thrown together
for any great length of time. Oil and water will mix as
readily as will men who have nothing in common.
All of which leads up to this statement:
That you will attract to you people who
harmonize with your own philosophy of life, whether
you wish it or not. This being true, can you not see
the importance of vitalizing your mind with a definite
chief aim that will attract to you people who will be of
help to you and not a hindrance? Suppose your
definite chief aim is far above your present station in
life. What of it? It is your privilege - nay, your
DUTY, to aim high in life. You owe it to yourself and
to the community in which you live to set a high
standard for yourself.
There is much evidence to justify the belief that
nothing within reason is beyond the possibility of
attainment by the man whose definite chief aim has
been well developed. Some years ago Louis Victor
Eytinge was given a life sentence in the Arizona
penitentiary. At the time of his imprisonment he was
an all-around "bad man," according to his own
admissions. In addition to this it was believed that he
would die of tuberculosis within a year.
Eytinge had reason to feel discouraged, if anyone
ever had. Public feeling against him was intense and

- 22 -
he did not have a single friend in the world who came
forth and offered him encouragement or help. Then
something happened in his own mind that gave him
back his health, put the dreaded "white plague" to rout
and finally unlocked the prison gates and gave him his
freedom.
What was that "something"?
Just this: He made up his mind to whip the white
plague and regain his health. That was a very definite
chief aim. In less than a year from the time the
decision was made he had won. Then he extended that
definite chief aim by making up his mind to gain his
freedom. Soon the prison walls melted from around
him.
No undesirable environment is strong enough to
hold the man or woman who understands how to apply
the principle of Auto-suggestion in the creation of a
definite chief aim. Such a person can throw off the
shackles of poverty; destroy the most deadly disease
germs; rise from a lowly station in life to power and
plenty.
All great leaders base their leadership upon a
definite chief aim. Followers are willing followers
when they know that their leader is a person with a
definite chief aim who has the courage to back up that
purpose with action. Even a balky horse knows when a
driver with a definite chief aim takes hold of the reins;
and yields to that driver. When a man with a definite
chief aim starts through a crowd everybody stands
aside and makes a way for him, but let a man hesitate
and show by his actions that he is not sure which way
he wants to go and the crowd will step all over his
toes and refuse to budge an inch out of his way.

THE LAW OF SUCCESS
Excerpt from Lesson Three
SELF-CONFIDENCE

You learned in Lesson Two that any idea you


firmly fix in your subconscious mind, by repeated
affirmation, automatically becomes a plan or blueprint
which an unseen power uses in directing your efforts
toward the attainment of the objective named - in the
plan.
You have also learned that the principle through
which you may fix any idea you choose in your mind
is called Auto-suggestion, which simply means a
suggestion that you give to your own mind.
You might well remember that Nothing can bring
you success but yourself. Of course you will need the
co-operation of others if you aim to attain success of a
far-reaching nature, but you will never get that
cooperation unless you vitalize your mind with the
positive attitude of self-confidence.
Perhaps you have wondered why a few men
advance to highly paid positions while others all
around them, who have as much training and who
seemingly perform as much work, do not get ahead.
Select any two people of these two types that you
choose, and study them, and the reason why one
advances and the other stands still will be quite
obvious to you. You will find that the one who
advances believes in himself. You will find that he
backs this belief with such dynamic, aggressive action
that he lets others know that he believes in himself.

- 24 -
IF you want a thing

done well, call on

some busy person to

do it. Busy people are

generally the most

painstaking and

thorough in all they

do.

- 25 -
You will also find that the one who does not
advance shows clearly, by the look on his face, by the
posture of his body, by the lack of briskness in his
step, by the uncertainty with which he speaks, that he
lacks Self-confidence. No one is going to pay much
attention to the person who has no confidence in
himself.
He does not attract others because his mind is a
negative force that repels rather than attracts.
In no other field of endeavor does Self-
confidence or the lack of it play such an important
part as in the field of salesmanship, and you do not
need to be a character analyst to determine, the
moment you meet him, whether a salesman possesses
this quality of Self-confidence. If he has it the signs
of its influence are written all over him. He inspires
you with confidence in him and in the goods he is
selling the moment he speaks.
We come, now, to the point at, which you are
ready to take hold of the principle of Auto-suggestion
and make direct use of it in developing yourself into a
positive and dynamic and self-reliant person. You are
instructed to copy the following formula, sign it and
commit it to memory:

SELF-CONFIDENCE FORMULA

First: I know that I have the ability to achieve the


object of my definite purpose, therefore I demand
of myself persistent, aggressive and continuous
action toward its attainment.
Second: I realize that the dominating thoughts of my
mind eventually reproduce themselves in outward,
bodily action, and gradually transform themselves
into physical reality, therefore I will concentrate

- 26 -
My mind for thirty minutes daily upon the task of
thinking of the person I intend to be, by creating
a mental picture of this person and then
transforming that picture into reality through
practical service.
Third: I know that through the principle of Auto-
suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in
my mind will eventually seek expression through
some practical means of realizing it, therefore I
shall devote ten minutes daily to demanding of
myself the development of the factors named in
the sixteen lessons of this Reading Course on the
Law of Success.
Fourth: I have clearly mapped out and written down a
description of my definite purpose in life, for the
coming five years. I have set a price on my
services for each of these five years; a price that
I intend to earn and receive, through strict
application of the principle of efficient,
satisfactory service which I will render in
advance.
Fifth: I fully realize that no wealth or position can
long endure unless built upon truth and justice,
therefore I will engage in no transaction which
does not benefit all whom it affects. 1 will
succeed by attracting to me the forces I wish to
use, and the co-operation of other people. I will
induce others to serve me because I will first
serve them. I will eliminate hatred, envy,
jealousy, selfishness and cynicism by developing
love for all humanity, because I know that a
negative attitude toward others can never bring
me success. I will cause others to believe in me
because I will believe in them and in myself.

- 27 -
I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to
memory and repeat it aloud once a day with full
faith that it will gradually influence my entire
life so that I will become a successful and happy
worker in my chosen field of endeavor.

Signed……………………………………….

Before you sign your name to this formula make


sure that you intend to carry out its instructions. Back
of this formula lies a law that no man can explain. The
psychologists refer to this law as Auto-suggestion and
let it go at that, but you should bear in mind one point
about which there is no uncertainty, and that is the
fact that whatever this law is it actually works!
Another point to be kept in mind is the fact that,
just as electricity will turn the wheels of industry and
serve mankind in a million other ways, or snuff out
life if wrongly applied, so will this principle of Auto-
suggestion lead you up the mountain-side of peace and
prosperity, or down into the valley of misery and
poverty, according to the application you make of it.
If you fill your mind with doubt and unbelief in your
ability to achieve, then the principle of Auto-
suggestion takes this spirit of unbelief and sets it up
in your subconscious mind as your dominating thought
and slowly but surely draws you into the whirlpool of
failure. But, if you fill your mind with radiant Self-
confidence, the principle of Auto-suggestion takes this
belief and sets it up as your dominating thought and
helps you master the obstacles that fall in your way
until you reach the mountain-top of success.

THE LAW OF SUCCESS
Excerpt from Lesson Four
THE HABIT OF SAVING

We are the victims of our habits, no matter who


we are or what may be our life-calling. Any idea that
is deliberately fixed in the mind, or any idea that is
permitted to set itself up in the mind, as the result of
suggestion, environment, the influence of associates,
etc., is sure to cause us to indulge in acts which
conform to the nature of the idea.
Form the habit of thinking and talking of
prosperity and abundance, and very soon material
evidence of these will begin to manifest itself in the
nature of wider opportunity and new and unexpected
opportunity.
Like attracts like! If you are in business and have
formed the habit of talking and thinking about
"business being bad" business will be bad. One
pessimist, providing he is permitted to continue his
destructive influence long enough, can destroy the
work of half a dozen competent men, and he will do it
by setting adrift in the minds of his associates the
thought of poverty and failure.
Don't be this type of man or woman.
One of the most successful bankers in the state of
Illinois has this sign hanging in his private office:

- 29 -
YOU are a human

magnet and you are

constantly attracting to

you people whose

characters harmonize

with your own.

- 30 -
"WE TALK AND THINK ONLY OF
ABUNDANCE HERE. IF YOU HAVE A TALE OF
WOE PLEASE KEEP IT, AS WE DO NOT WANT IT."
No business firm wants the services of a
pessimist, and those who understand the Law of
Attraction and the Law of Habit will no more tolerate
the pessimist than they would permit a burglar to roam
around their place of business, for the reason that one
such person will destroy the usefulness of those
around him.
In tens of thousands of homes the general topic of
conversation is poverty and want, and that is just what
they are getting. They think of poverty, they talk of
poverty, they accept poverty as their lot in life. They
reason that because their ancestors were poor before
them they, also, must remain poor.
The poverty consciousness is formed as the result
of the habit of thinking of and fearing poverty. "Lo!
the thing I had feared has come upon me."

THE SLAVERY OF DEBT

Debt is a merciless master, a fatal enemy of the


savings habit.
Poverty, alone, is sufficient to kill off ambition,
destroy self-confidence and destroy hope, but add to it
the burden of debt and all who are victims of these
two cruel task-masters are practically doomed to
failure.
No man can do his best work, no man can express
himself in terms that command respect, no man can
either create or carry out a definite purpose in life,
with heavy debt hanging over his head. The man who
is bound in the slavery of debt is just as helpless as

- 31 -
the slave who is bound by ignorance, or by actual
chains.
The author has a very close friend whose income
is $1,000 a month. His wife loves "society" and tries
to make a $20,000 showing on a $12,000 income, with
the result that this poor fellow is usually about $8,000
in debt. Every member of his family has the "spending
habit," having acquired this from the mother. The
children, two girls and one boy, are now of the age
when they are thinking of going to college, but this is
impossible because of the father's debts. The result is
dissension between the father and his children which
makes the entire family unhappy and miserable.
It is a terrible thing even to think of going
through life like a prisoner in chains, bound down and
owned by somebody else on account of debts. The
accumulation of debts is a habit. It starts in a small
way and grows to enormous proportions slowly, step
by step, until finally it takes charge of one's very
soul.
Thousands of young men start their married lives
with unnecessary debts hanging over their heads and
never manage to get out from under the load. After the
novelty of marriage begins to wear off (as it usually
does) the married couple begin to feel the
embarrassment of want, and this feeling grows until it
leads, oftentimes, to open dissatisfaction with one
another, and eventually to the divorce court.
A man who is bound by the slavery of debt has no
time or inclination to set up or work out ideals, with
the result that he drifts downward with time until he
eventually begins to set up limitations in his own
mind, and by these he hedges himself behind prison

- 32 -
walls of FEAR and doubt from which he never
escapes.
No sacrifice is too great to avoid the misery of
debt!
"Think of what you owe yourself and those who
are dependent upon you and resolve to be no man's
debtor," is the advice of one very successful man
whose early chances were destroyed by debt. This man
came to himself soon enough to throw off the habit of
buying that which he did not need and eventually
worked his way out of slavery.
Most men who develop the habit of debt will not
be so fortunate as to come to their senses in time to
save themselves, because debt is something like
quicksand in that it has a tendency to draw its victim
deeper and deeper into the mire.
The Fear of Poverty is one of the most destructive
of the six basic fears described in Lesson Three. The
man who becomes hopelessly in debt is seized with
this poverty fear, his ambition and self-confidence
become paralyzed, and he sinks gradually into
oblivion.
There are two classes of debts, and these are so
different in nature that they deserve to be here
described, as follows:
1. There are debts incurred for luxuries which
become a dead loss.
2. There are debts incurred in the course of
professional or business trading which represent
service or merchandise that can be converted back into
assets.
The first class of debts is the one to be avoided.
The second class may be indulged in, providing the
one incurring the debts uses judgment and does not go

- 33 -
beyond the bounds of reasonable limitation. The
moment one buys beyond his limitations he enters the
realm of speculation, and speculation swallows more
of its victims than it enriches.
Practically all people who live beyond their
means are tempted to speculate with the hope that they
may recoup, at a single turn of the wheel of fortune,
so to speak, their entire indebtedness. The wheel
generally stops at the wrong place and, far from
finding themselves out of debt, such people as indulge
in speculation are bound more closely as slaves of
debt.
The Fear of Poverty breaks down the will-power
of its victims, and they then find themselves unable to
restore their lost fortunes, and, what is still more sad,
they lose all ambition to extricate themselves from.
the slavery of debt.
Hardly a day passes that one may not see an
account in the newspapers of at least one suicide as
the result of worry over debts. The slavery of debt
causes more suicides every year than all other causes
combined, which is a slight indication of the cruelty
of the poverty fear.
During the war millions of men faced the front-
line trenches without flinching, knowing that death
might overtake them any moment. Those same men,
when facing the Fear of Poverty, often cringe and out
of sheer desperation, which paralyzes their reason,
sometimes commit suicide.
The person who is free from debt may whip
poverty and achieve outstanding financial success,
but, if he is bound by debt, such achievement is but a
remote possibility, and never a probability.
Fear of Poverty is a negative, destructive state of

- 34 -
mind. Moreover, one negative state of mind has a
tendency to attract other similar states of mind. For
example, the Fear of Poverty may attract the fear of
Ill Health, and these two may attract the Fear of Old
Age, so that the victim finds himself poverty-stricken,
in ill health and actually growing old long before the
time when he should begin to show the signs of old
age.
Millions of untimely, nameless graves have been
filled by this cruel state of mind known as the Fear of
Poverty!
Less than a dozen years ago a young man held a
responsible position with the City National Bank, of
New York City. Through living beyond his income he
contracted a large amount of debts which caused him
to worry until this destructive habit began to show up
in his work and he was dismissed from the bank's
service.
He secured another position, at less money, but
his creditors embarrassed him so that he decided to
resign and go away into another city, where he hoped
to escape them until he had accumulated enough
money to pay off his indebtedness. Creditors have a
way of tracing debtors, so very soon they were close
on the heels of this young man, whose employer found
out about his indebtedness and dismissed him from his
position.
He then searched in vain for employment for two
months. One cold night he went to the top of one of
the tall buildings on Broadway and jumped off. Debt
had claimed another victim.

- 35 -
WHO told you it

couldn't be done? and,

what great achievement

has he to his credit that

entitles him to use the

word "impossible" so

freely?

- 36 -
HOW TO MASTER THE FEAR OF POVERTY

To whip the Fear of Poverty one must take two


very definite steps, providing one is in debt. First,
quit the habit of buying on credit, and follow this by
gradually paying off the debts that you have already
incurred.
Being free from the worry of indebtedness you
are ready to revamp the habits of your mind and re-
direct your course toward prosperity. Adopt, as a part
of your Definite Chief Aim, the habit of saving a
regular proportion of your income, even if this be no
more than a penny a day. Very soon this habit will
begin to lay hold of your mind and you will actually
get joy out of saving.
Any habit may be discontinued by building in its
place some other and more desirable habit. The
"spending" habit must be replaced by the "saving"
habit by all who attain financial independence.
Merely to discontinue an undesirable habit is not
enough, as such habits have a tendency to reappear
unless the place they formerly occupied in the mind is
filled by some other habit of a different nature.
The discontinuance of a habit leaves a "hole" in
the mind, and this hole must be filled up with some
other form of habit or the old one will return and
claim its place.
Throughout this course many psychological
formulas, which the student has been requested to
memorize and practice, have been described. You will
find such a formula in Lesson Three, the object of
which is to develop Self-confidence.

- 37 -
These formulas may be assimilated so they
become a part of your mental machinery, through the
Law of Habit, if you will follow the instructions for
their use which accompany each of them.
It is assumed that you are striving to attain
financial independence. The accumulation of money is
not difficult after you have once mastered the Fear of
Poverty and developed in its place the Habit of
Saving.
The author of this course would be greatly
disappointed to know that any student of the course
got the impression from anything in this or any of the
other: lessons that Success is measured by dollars
alone.
However, money does represent an important
factor in success, and it must be given its proper value
in any philosophy intended to help people in becoming
useful, happy and prosperous.
The cold, cruel, relentless truth is that in this
age, of materialism a man is no more than so many
grains of sand, which may be blown helter-skelter by
every^ stray wind of circumstance, unless he is
entrenched behind the power of money!
Genius may offer many rewards to those who
possess it, but the fact still remains that genius
without money with which to give it expression is but
an empty, skeleton-like honor.
The man without money is at the mercy of the
man who has it!
And this goes, regardless of the amount of ability
he may possess, the training he has had or the native
genius with which he was gifted by nature.
There is no escape from the fact that people will
weigh you very largely in the light of bank balances,

- 38 -
no matter who you are or what you can do. The first
question that arises, in the minds of most people,
when they meet a stranger, is, "How much money has
he?" If he has money he is welcomed into homes and
business opportunities are thrown his way. All sorts of
attention are lavished upon him. He is a prince, and as
such is entitled to the best of the land.
But if his shoes are run down at the heels, his
clothes are not pressed, his collar is dirty, and he
shows plainly the signs of impoverished finances, woe
be his lot, for the passing crowd will step on his toes
and blow the smoke of disrespect in his face.
These are not pretty statements, but they have one
virtue - THEY ARE TRUE!
This tendency to judge people by the money they
have, or their power to control money, is not confined
to any one class of people. We all have a touch of it,
whether we recognize the fact or not.
Thomas A. Edison is one of the best known and
most respected inventors in the world, yet it is no
misstatement of facts to say that he would have
remained a practically unknown, obscure personage
had he not followed the habit of conserving his
resources and shown his ability to save money.
Henry Ford never would have got to first base
with his "horseless carriage" had he not developed,
quite early in life, the habit of saving. Moreover, had
Mr. Ford not conserved his resources and hedged
himself behind their power he would have been
"swallowed up" by his competitors or those who
covetously desired to take his business away from
him, long, long years ago.
Many a man has gone a very long way toward

- 39 -
success, only to stumble and fall, never again to rise,
because of lack of money in times of emergency. The
mortality rate in business each year, due to lack of
reserve capital for emergencies, is stupendous. To this
one cause are due more of the business failures than to
all other causes combined!
Reserve Funds are essential in the successful
operation of business!
Likewise, Savings Accounts are essential to
success on the part of individuals. Without a savings
fund the individual suffers in two ways: first, by
inability to seize opportunities that come only to the
person with some ready cash, and, second, by
embarrassment due to some unexpected emergency
calling for cash.
It might be said, also, that the individual suffers
in still a third respect by not developing the Habit of
Saving, through lack of certain other qualities
essential for success which grow out of the practice of
the Habit of Saving.
The nickels, dimes and pennies which the average
person allows to slip through his fingers would, if
systematically saved and properly put to work,
eventually bring financial independence.

"These Sixteen Lessons Helped Me To Live
The Life Of My Dreams...And They Will
Work For YOU, Too!"

Gary—I just wanted to express my appreciation for your version of Napoleon


Hill’s book, “Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons”.

I have been reading it during the last couple of weeks and it has been very
inspirational. I am just finishing Lesson 10. When I finish the book I plan to
start thru and read it a second time.

This book is absolutely amazing, especially considering that it was published


in 1928. Whenever I’m feeling down or really stuck I just have to spend
some time reading from this book to get myself thinking more clearly and
moving forward again.

The Law of Success

Special Report by Gary Vurnum,


author of the best-selling ebook "The Science of Success"

Hi

You may have heard the story about Dr. Napoleon Hill...and how he came to write what is now the
best-selling personal development book of all time "Think & Grow Rich".

What you may not know is that "Think & Grow Rich" was only really a
summary of a much larger work some nine years earlier.
This is its story...

-------------------------------

Come back with me, if you will...back to the boom years after the First World War.

The wonder of new technologies like the electric light bulb, radio, and the motor car were fast
catching on amongst the most wealthy people of the time.

A time when being poor meant that you were really poor...and when the richest men EVER in the
history of the western world lived.

These steel magnates, oil barons, railroad tycoons, and automobile czars enjoyed literally hundreds
of billions of dollars between them.

Never had so much wealth and power been so highly concentrated since the time of the Chinese
Dynasties.

In front of each one in turn sat a young man.

Less than half the age of most of them...he would furiously scribble down their wisdom as they
shared the 'secrets' of their success.

What he wrote...I guarantee WILL change YOUR life.

How?

To find out the answer, we need to go back fifteen years earlier to 1908.

-------------------------------

A 25-year-old reporter, born into poverty...but climbing his way up the ladder, is planning to pay his
way through Georgetown University Law School.

Commissioned by Robert L. Taylor, former Governor of Tennessee, to write "success stories" about
famous men for his magazine...he is given his first assignment to interview one of the richest men in
the world...the steel magnate Andrew Carnegie.

What followed was to change the world...forever.


All the young Napoleon Hill knew...was that he had an interview to do.

The interview was due to last for three hours...but stretched long after Carnegie's servants had

The Law of Success

retired for the night. In fact...Hill spent a total of three days and nights as a guest of one of
the world's richest men.

Three whole days and nights listening to the wisdom of one the greatest business minds ever to have
walked this Earth!

What would YOU give to be in a position like that?

So...why did it take so long?

Well...Andrew Carnegie was no ordinary man. You don't go from poverty to being a billionaire
without being different.

Carnegie had an idea...an idea the result of which you will benefit from some ninety-five years
later.

He wanted Hill to organize the world's first philosophy of personal achievement, based upon the
principles that he and his fellow giants of the age had used to accumulate their vast fortunes.

So...put yourself in Napoleon Hill's shoes...

One of the richest men in the world asks you this question:

"If I were to give you the opportunity to organize this philosophy, with my
help, but without payment...a task that would probably take at least twenty
years or so...would you do it?"
Well...what would have been YOUR answer?

What you don't know is that Carnegie is sitting with a stop-watch in his hand...and has given you a
time limit.

You don't know it...but he has only given you 60 seconds to make up your mind - and you've
already taken 15 seconds to get to this point.

What do you do? You have a family to support after all. Commitments. Debts to worry about.

Well...Napoleon Hill didn't know about the time limit, either...but it only took him until NOW (that's
29 seconds)...before he gave his answer:

YES...I WILL!
Carnegie had learned that those men (and women) who are slow to make up their minds - are also
slow in carrying out their decisions.

Times don't change...that's for sure.

Are you one of them?

Stop the clock! Your 60 seconds are up!

-------------------------------

What have YOU decided?

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (3 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

Have you decided that YOU are going to act on Andrew Carnegie's challenge?

It won't take you twenty years and over five hundred interviews like Napoleon Hill - I can guarantee
that.

But, unless you are certain that you want to change your life...you might as well just go back
to what you were doing.

So...what's YOUR decision?

This timeless information will only be shared with you if you want to USE it
to change your life.
Remember...

YOU are in control of your destiny.


YOU are competing with other people to succeed.
YOU now have the opportunity to do something about it!

-------------------------------

Most people wrongly believe that "Think & Grow Rich" was the result of Andrew Carnegie's question
to Napoleon Hill.

You are now about to find out the real truth.

EXACTLY twenty years after that historic meeting with Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill released his
course based on the philosophy of personal achievement of the five hundred most successful people
of his time.

In the years in between Napoleon Hill lost his job on more than two occasions, three of his own
thriving companies went bankrupt due to circumstances beyond his control, and he was wrongly
accused of fraud and put into prison!

Yet...despite this adversity...he produced a course that was used by hundreds of companies (and
governments) to 'train' people how to be successful.

It was called "The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons"...and it made Napoleon Hill's fortune...
long before the much shorter "Think & Grow Rich" came onto the scene.

"I love it! Here are the greatest books by the greatest minds --- Hill, Emerson, Barnum, and
more. It's the Holy Grail of Self-Improvement. If you want to grow spiritually and
financially, get these books and you're on the way. This is an e-treasure of wisdom! You'll love it
all!"

-- Joe Vitale, #1 Best-Selling Author - "Spiritual Marketing"

You may have heard of it before. You might be able to track down a paperback version of the original
text.

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (4 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

You could do that...but I believe that, because of the power of the Internet...you can instead, have
in your hands RIGHT NOW the complete course, plus some amazing additional tools and resources
that even Napoleon Hill suggested that you refer to.

I truly believe that the paperback version is not enough...you need the recommended resources
and personal support to make the very best use of it.

I truly believe that if you want a system that is available immediately at your fingertips, which
compliments and further enhances the course...then this is for you.

Read on...and I'll show you why I know that it will be better for you to choose this course.

"The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons" covers a total of 1,170 pages, and for the first time
anywhere on the Internet...is now available for you to learn and profit from!

But first...I have a question for you...

"Have you chosen to make a success out of your life?"

Remember...it's your decision...the clock is ticking...but you won't miss this chance again, will
you?

-------------------------------

"The Law of Success" is THE most complete course on success ever


written.
Why?

Well...do you think that it takes Anthony Robbins TWENTY YEARS to research and interview
people for each book that he writes? He hasn't even been 'around' for that long!

The easiest way for you to become successful at anything is to model yourself on those
people who are already successful.

It's simple, really.

Yet...very few people are able to do exactly that.

Why?

Because unless you are able to apply what these people are doing to your current life...then
there isn't much point in trying to model yourself on them!

That's where Napoleon Hill was a genius.

He had an amazing ability to translate into 'real life' what really made those five hundred
richest people of his day succeed like no others had ever done before.

"Think & Grow Rich" was based upon (and in most cases, is almost a
summary of) "The Law of Success"
...and is THE biggest selling personal development book of all time.

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (5 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

Yet..."The Law of Success" doesn't get the same publicity as "Think & Grow Rich"...
and you've probably never heard of it.

Why?

Well...for a number of reasons.

1) Its size. "The Law Of Success" is 1,170 pages long...and was originally released in
eight hard bound books (containing two Lessons each).

2) Its cost. Not everyone could afford to pay for such expensive books. Even now, the
original version of what you can now read here in ebook form sells on ebay.com for up to
$400!

3) Its content. The sheer amount of content tends to put off those people who aren't
committed to make some serious change in their lives. "Think & Grow Rich" is boring in
comparison!

4) Its market. Napoleon Hill taught "The Law of Success" in seminars primarily aimed at the
companies of his day. It was designed to be interactive...and to have regular exercises
that needed to be completed as the student went along.

It was never really intended for the public...and that's why he released "Think & Grow Rich"
some NINE years later so that the public could share in the success that those companies
and employees were achieving.

Being an admirer of "Think & Grow Rich" I made a serious investment and bought a copy of
the original 1928 version of "The Law of Success", which was made up of eight hand-stitched
books (they aren't cheap to get hold of, believe me!)

I couldn't believe my eyes.

I couldn't believe that I had never really heard of such an amazing


course in personal development.
I knew that very few people had heard of it...and I wondered if there was a way that I could
make it available to a wider public.

I found out that I was allowed to...but it wouldn't be easy.

So...I began to type it into my computer by hand, letter by letter, word by word, page by
page. At first on my own...and then, as my fingers began to ache and cramp up, I asked my
wife, Lesley to help me.

I didn't realize until three months in that I could have used a scanner!

It was a 'labor of love' for some five months.

-------------------------------

Then something awful happened...

It wasn't until I was five months in that I found out that a little-publicized version
was available.

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (6 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

I shudder when I think about how I felt at that moment. You know - you get that horrible
feeling at the pit of your stomach? I felt like the world was going to swallow me up!

Well - what would you have done?

In the past...I probably would have just written it all off, and complained instead about how
'unlucky' I was.

But...because I had been literally immersed in the principles of "The Law of Success" for so
long...I KNEW that I could find a way.

Through the lessons that Napoleon Hill had taught me I knew that I could do it..but only if I
could bring you a 'system' that is far more superior, far more hands-on, and
certainly far more 'doable' than just a plain old paperback book.

Only by reading until the end of this page will you be able to judge whether I have
succeeded or not.

I have kept its design as close to the original as possible (computer fonts and graphics don't
do it justice, believe me!).

Part of what "The Law of Success" is about is based upon the character of the period it was
written in.

So...I've left all of the spelling mistakes in (yes, there were quite a few!), and all of the
references that may now seem 'quaint'!

In essence...what you will read when you invest in this amazing


course in personal development is EXACTLY what Napoleon Hill
wrote and taught back in 1928.
It may be 75 years old...but, like most things, success is timeless.

"Gary, I could literally see your 'blood' on these books. All the time you've
spent on putting this killer success package has left an indelible impression
on me. It's really hard for anyone to fail when they follow the success
map you've created for them. You're a modern day Napoleon Hill!!!"

Click here now to get all this and "The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons" by Napoleon Hill
for only $97!

But why stop there? Here are some more, which, although aren't for sale elsewhere...
perfectly compliment your copy of "The Law of Success"....

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (19 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

In "The Law of Success" Napoleon Hill recommends that you read the
following five texts as, at different parts of the course, he suggests that you
refer to them for more detailed information on the particular subject he is
teaching.

Ralph Waldo Emerson - Compensation


(24 pages)

From "The Golden Rule", page 34...

"You have noticed frequent reference to Emerson throughout this course.....


the essay on Compensation should be read and studied at least every
three months. Observe, as you read this essay, that it deals with the same
law as that upon which the Golden Rule is based."

Ralph Waldo Emerson - Spiritual Laws


(23 pages)

From "Self-Confidence", page 53...

"The human mind is a marvelous, mysterious piece of machinery, a fact of


which I was reminded a few months ago when I picked up Emerson's Essays
and re-read his essay on Spiritual Laws. A strange thing happened.
I saw in that essay, which I had read scores of times previously, much that I
had never noticed before. I saw more in this essay than I had seen
during previous readings because the unfoldment of my mind since the
last reading had prepared me to interpret more."

Dr. Russell Conwell - Acres of Diamonds


(41 pages)

From "Self-Confidence", page 76...

Life's greatest inconsistency is the fact that most of that which we believe is
not true. Russell Conwell wrote the most popular lecture ever delivered
in the English language. He called it "Acres of Diamonds."

The central idea of the lecture was the statement that one need not seek
opportunity in the distance; that opportunity may be found in the vicinity of
one's birth. Perhaps! but, how many believe it?

Elbert Hubbard - A Message To Garcia


(8 pages)

From "Enthusiasm", page 4...

"I gave a beggar a dime with the suggestion that he invest it in a copy of
Elbert Hubbard’s Message to Garcia."

Thomas Troward - The Edinburgh Lectures.


(93 pages)

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (20 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

From "The Golden Rule", page 20...

"Judge Troward was the author of several interesting volumes, among them
The Edinburgh Lectures, which is recommended to all students of this
course."

So now - you have in your hands the COMPLETE course on "The Law
Of Success"...just as Napoleon Hill would have wished.
But...I don't think that you should stop there. Your course on success would not be complete
without the following 'classics'...

I believe that there are five more texts that, although not mentioned by
Napoleon Hill, perfectly compliment this course.

You may or may not already have them...but you should certainly make
sure that you read them ALL in either case!

Kahlil Gibran - The Prophet.


(53 pages)

Stunning in its simplicity...yet beautiful and to the point...this book is


perhaps one of the greatest works about spirituality and how to use it
to achieve great success in your life.

Charles Haanel - The Master Key System.


(240 pages)

Rumour has it that Bill Gates found an old out-of-print copy of this book...
and uses it as the basis for his success.

Covering everything from how to get wealthy to how to get healthy, The
Master Key System leaves no stone unturned.

When you want to achieve something, The Master Key System will
show you how to get it. For this reason, more and more people are
becoming students of The Master Key System than ever before.

P.T. Barnum - The Art of Money Getting.


(47 pages)

These twenty golden rules for making money and attracting wealth
into your life from the Greatest Showman on Earth are as fresh today as
when the were written.

Barnum was a genius who made and lost fortunes...and had an uncanny
ability to turn everything to his advantage. A long-forgotten classic that you
shouldn't miss.

http://www.thischangedmylife.com/ (21 of 25)3/24/2005 2:24:03 PM


The Law of Success

Wallace D. Wattles - The Science of Getting Rich.


(64 pages)

I can honestly say that your life will never be the same again after you read
this classic book on how to use your mind to produce literally anything
you wish. It was the final piece in my own 'success jigsaw'...and you
shouldn't underestimate its message.

James Allen - As A Man Thinketh.


(28 pages)

Another classic which explains in detail...yet so very clearly...how to use the


power of your thoughts to take you to another level. A short...yet
fascinating insight into the power of your mind...and how to use it.

But...that is not all. Just in case you get stuck, or feel a little overwhelmed once you begin
your course in success...

I will give you my personal (and private) email address which I have set up

P.S. Imagine what it would be like to have a blueprint for success


that you could constantly refer to.
"The Law of Success" by Napoleon Hill IS that blueprint. If you work your way through
the course, you will find, like literally millions of people before you...that you CAN make
much, much more out of your life.

Gary,
I purchased and read Napoleon Hill's "The Law of Success" in hardback in the mid
seventies, I believe. I misplaced or lost this great book.

I decided to purchase these e-books for my children and/or theirs in the


future. This book is rare. I am glad I have it again. Thanks.
