The book under consideration is "Think and Grow
Rich" written by Napoleon Hill. The book contains a number of lessons for
the readers and inspires the reader in many ways. The lessons illustrated in
the book challenges the perception of the reader and empower the mindset to
grow and create wealth. Think and grow rich can be tagged as a classic book
that analyzes the secrets of success and explains the success secrets of well-known
personalities including Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, John D. Rockefeller, George
Eastman, Andrew Carnegie, King Gillette, and Alexander Graham Bell. So instead
of rambling about the reasons to read the booklet I share the lessons I learned
from the book (Hill).
Lesson learned by “Think and grow rich”
1. All one needs is a sound idea to get
success
The
book explains the ways to achieve success in life and after reading the book I
found that success depends on a brilliant idea and how the idea is accomplished
by real efforts. The lesson is valuable for people bouncing from business
opportunity to any other rich quick scheme. According to the author, ideas and
opportunities are primarily important for instance Larry and bill gates focused
on software, Oprah Winfrey focused on entertainment and Carlos Slim Helu
focused on telecommunication (Hill, 2010).
2. Becoming rich initiates, the mindset
I strongly believe in the view of Napoleon Hill about the mindset and how
definiteness of purpose is required for success. Napoleon Hill emphasized on
the success and failure that are different from each other and requires
refocusing of the mindset over the goals. In order to reach the goal, the
workers should delete the word of impossible from their minds.
3. One is master of his own fate
After
reading the book, I agreed with the theme presented by Napoleon Hill about life.
The book forces on the controlled supernatural forces of personality. The other
factor includes the destiny and fate of the workers to improve the perception
of life (Hill, 2010).
4. The initial point for achievement is a
desire
According
to Napoleon Hill, the starting point to achieve the goals is to desire. All the
rich people have a strong desire to work and they laid down on the principles
of the founder. The path to achieving the goals is strongly dependent on the
sacrifices and desires for the achievement also (Hill, 2010).
5. Knowledge is not all the power
The lesson I have learned from the book is to expect potential
information and wise applications of knowledge. The extreme knowledge is not
everything to reach success. The potential power of organizing the intelligent
process is especially required to reach success (Hill, 2010).
Summary
The
book “think and grow rich”, written by Napoleon Hill provides extensive
information about the ways to reach the goals and objectives. According to the
author, learning is important, and success depends on the initial step. The knowledge
is not key to everything but works as additional power to reach the goals but
in real fact, the important things for success are self-esteem and self-control.
