📖 Success Habits by Napoleon Hill

Topic: Success Habits | Medium: Hardcopy | Rating: 3.5/5

My Keynotes:

  1. To live with a Definitive Purpose is to act with intention and meaning. Your objectives must be clearly defined without room for misinterpretation.
  2. To live with Applied Faith by working towards your goals with a burning desire. Challenges will enviably come, but everything worth living for comes at a cost. And you must go the extra mile with everything you do before expecting any benefit in return.
  3. Comic Habit Force relates to the law of the universe; taking possession of your own mind; and drawing wisdom from our senses.
  4. The book discusses Causes of Failure and Factors of a Pleasing Personality. The key attributes I want to work on include:
  • Decisiveness and Procrastination – because time and energy are precious resources. One of my goals this year includes practising effective productivity which includes applying the 80/20 rule etc.
  • Self-discipline – with most ideals in life (e.g. happiness, success, etc.) hard work will get you there, however, without self-discipline, you will never keep it
  • Positive mental attitude – I want to be a source of positive energy for everyone around me. I know I can make a difference in this world even though seemingly insignificant.

Fave Quotes:

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe the mind can achieve.”
“Applied faith is nothing but a mental attitude, and you control your mental attitude.”
“There is a law of nature which provides that every adversity, every defeat, every setback, every failure, every heartache, every disagreeable circumstance that you may experience, carries within itself the seed of an equivalent benefit.”
“The successful man always fights hard to do the right thing, and never chooses the path of least resistance. All rivers do choose this path, but successful men never do.”
