Lesson From Napoleon Hill

About a hundred years ago Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich 1937 and one of the first authors of self-help(success) books, was summoned by the tycoons of industry to answer questions. They wanted to know why he had shared so many success stories and laws in one of his books that was published earlier. The rich and the wealthy including John D. Rockefeller, T. Edison, and many others were furious with Napoleon Hill for sharing these well-guarded secrets with the world. They were afraid to lose the power they held over the society. This book was written based on real life experiences and lessons of the top 1% rich people in the world(The people in the meeting literary owned 99% of assets in the entire world in monetary value!)

Once they put him on the spot to address their concerns, this is what Napoleon Hill said in his speech: “The law of success is so obvious and so simple to understand, that ironically you have nothing to worry about. Most people and by most people I mean 92 out of 100 people, will never apply these laws in real life, therefore they will stay poor even though they have the knowledge that is necessary to be successful in their bookshelves.”

We learn from the story that the path to success is obvious and simple, but NOT easy and quick. The reason very few people succeed, whereas the majority of people fail in their life, is because they never actually take action and APPLY their knowledge and so they never become successful and noteworthy.

If you already know what you need to do in order to succeed in your life the only thing standing between you and your dreams, is you not taking the steps necessary to succeed. And if you don’t already have a well-thought, step-by-step plan for your actions, nothing you do will matter in the long run. Planning without action is daydreaming and acting without a plan is a recipe for disaster.
