TODAY’S THOUGHT
WHEN YOU TRULY UNDERSTAND THIS LESSON YOU WILL BE AS CLOSE AS YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET TO A SINGLE UNIVERSAL LAW OF SUCCESS.
LESSON 25 (SEMESTER FIVE) TAKEAWAYS
Napoleon Hill was an incredible man. Against great odds and pressures he devoted more than twenty-five years of his life to interviewing and researching the careers of achievers. His goal? To isolate and define the reasons why so many fail and so few succeed.
- 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.
- It really pays to render more service and better service than one is paid to render.
- The man who engages in work that he loves best does not always have the support, in his choice, of his closest friends and relatives.
- To offset this disadvantage, however, the one who engages in the sort of work he loves is generally rewarded with two very decided benefits, namely
- first, he usually finds in such work the greatest of all rewards, HAPPINESS, which “is priceless,
- secondly, his actual reward in money, when averaged over a lifetime of effort, is generally much greater, for the reason that labor which is performed in a spirit of love is usually greater in quantity and finer in quality than that which is performed solely for money.
- Personally (Napoleon Hill) I never received a promotion in my life that I could not trace directly to recognition that I had gained by rendering more service and better service than that for which I was paid.
- Have the good judgment to make yourself so useful that the person to whom you sell your services cannot get along without you.
- During the next six months make it your business to render useful service to at least one person every day, for which you neither expect nor accept monetary pay.
- Make it your business to render more service and better service than that for which you are paid, and lot before you realize what has happened, you will find that THE WORLD IS WILLINGLY PAYING YOU FOR MORE THAN YOU DO!
- Knowledge becomes POWER only through organization and USE! Do not forget this.
- You can never become a Leader without doing more than you are paid for, and you cannot become successful without developing leadership in your chosen occupation.
TODAY’S INSTRUCTOR
Dr. Napoleon Hill
Oliver Napoleon Hill (born October 26, 1883 – November 8, 1970) was an American self-help author. He is known best for his book Think and Grow Rich (1937) which is among the 10 best selling self-help books of all time. Hill’s works insisted that fervid expectations are essential to improving one’s life. Most of his books were promoted as expounding principles to achieve “success”.
Hill is, in modern times, a controversial figure. Accused of fraud, modern historians also doubt many of his claims, such as that he met Andrew Carnegie and that he was an attorney. Gizmodo has called him “the most famous conman you’ve probably never heard of”.
