Think and Grow Rich is a book on entrepreneurship and personal growth focused on people who want to get rich. Napoleon Hill was a writer well known for writing books of this genre, and Think and Grow Rich has become a benchmark of this type.
The author tells us the technique, or as he likes to call it, "the secret" to professional success.
We can find the book divided into several chapters, each one focused on a part of the "secret" to becoming a rich person. At the same time that he explains techniques and ways to apply everything he teaches, he intersperses it with anecdotes, personal experiences, and above all, scientific data that verify what he says at all times.
In Think and Grow Rich I have been able to find the scientific answer to all the points that personal growth books make. For example, many books, such as The Power of Trusting You, talk about how important affirmations are to be able to believe what we think as if they were happening right now. However, he does not give a reason based on science. In the Think and Grow Rich book, apart from explaining the importance of affirmations, we can read that it is due to autosuggestion of our brain to be able to believe that we have what we want, and as a consequence, act in the correct way in order to achieve it.
I also really liked that it includes some "exercises" to make it easier for us to apply everything it tells us. Because it is not an easy book to read, and adding the formal way of writing of this gentleman, it may become a heavy book for some.
However, I think it is such a well explained and written book that I understand why it has become so famous since its release. If you have read the book of The Secret (there is also a documentary available on platforms such as Amazon Prime Video), you have surely realized that magic seems to exist.
Well, in the book Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill tells us in a subtle way that magic does not exist. Everything is in the head, and if we know how to control our mind we will be one step above the rest (it is not about feeling superior, but about being aware of all the weapons we have to achieve what we set out to do).
It has made me realize that there really is no such thing as a secret, but that there are many factors that influence a person to "get rich."
The first thing is to strongly desire what you want. If you ardently desire it, surely there is more possibility of achieving your goal.
Second, it has to be based on faith. Napoleon Hill explains in great detail how important it is to have faith.
Third, having specialized knowledge of something. You cannot possess wealth without having knowledge.
"Patience, persistence and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success."
So on until we have absolute control over our mind, showing us what it is capable of achieving if we manage our thoughts well. Think and Grow Rich is a good book to read if you have a goal or want to start a business, start a new adventure, or just try to improve yourself as a person. Although it is a book written in 1937, it will never "go out of style." Because no matter how much the world is updated, the human mind will continue to work the same unless we change it with artificial intelligence.
Many people believe that this book gives you the keys to get rich quickly and easily. And that's why they feel ripped off after reading it. However, I think that it does give you those keys, but you have to do your part to be able to build your future.
Think and grow rich is the basis of every entrepreneur who wants to be successful, because with this "guide" you have an advantage over the rest. The advantage of managing your thoughts and your mind so that it works for you.
"The mental state of wanting something is the starting point for attracting success."
Thought is the only thing we can control, and it is the one that directly decides your destiny. In this book, Napoleon Hill also explains the reasons for the failure of many people, and the reason for the success of others. He gives examples of famous people, like Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, which help to believe that we too can achieve that level of success.
Napoleon Hill was a very well-known person, and through his personal brand and his great knowledge he has continued to be present even though he is not physically here. For what it's worth reading Think and Grow Rich and knowing "the secret" to creating your fortune.

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.

better than 1 percent every day part 1 (self-development motivation)
If you can't fly then run If you can't run then walk . But no matter what you're doing you have to move forward. Always tell yourself You yourself may be less intelligent than others and have a starting point, but you have to put in 3 times more effort, 4 times more, or even 10 times more. I haven't found a better way than trying with perseverance. by perseverance and constant efforts to achieve goals when you have a lower starting point than others. Everyone has a dream, I believe you do too. Whether the dream is big or small, việc đạt được ước mơ là cả một quá trình. But not everyone makes efforts to achieve their dreams. After a few stumbles, you often lose faith in your dreams and intend to give up. But I don't think Giving up is the right decision on the path to achieving your dreams. One of the things that motivates us to achieve success is faith. Faith has strong hidden power to help us achieve our goals. Do you know that in ancient battles, before going into battle, what soldiers often did was not choose the sharpest weapons or the heaviest armor, the important thing they did was is to strengthen their belief. They always have faith that they will win. They will defeat all opponents. Because belief will lead to action. Weak belief will lead to superficial actions. niềm tin mạnh mẽ sẽ dẫn đến hành động quyết liệt hơn. A player who goes into battle without faith in victory will not be able to score goals. An excellent leader who does not have confidence in himself will not be able to lead an organization, so to realize your dream, you must build yourself a belief in what you are doing, of course. must be accompanied by action, not daydreaming. During your efforts, there will certainly be failures. You will look at the person next to you and feel yourself slowing down and despairing about yourself, but why do you don't think I need to put in more effort instead of spending time feeling guilty for me success is a process not a destination no matter what your goal is a house a super car A happy family or a successful business, getting there is sooner or later. What's more important is the process of trying to achieve it. It could be the days of waking up early, the days of working, coming home late, trying to convince customers, tiring physical exercises that later when you look back, you will never regret and always be grateful for the things that help you grow more and more when You are successful, you have your own story to tell. If everything comes too easily, then there is no such thing as a challenge. If it comes easily, then how can it be called fire? The hardest thing is to know who can last until the end because the champion horse is not the fastest horse. People don't care as much about you as you think. Stay focused. focus on what you do and try to be 1% better every day ignore the criticism of those around you and until you succeed people start to notice you At first they laugh at you But over time they will gradually support you and eventually they will admire you. Work in silence and the results will speak for you. Silently persevere in pursuing your goals, you don't need to announce them to the world. The world knows what you are doing because you are accomplishing it, all the results will speak for you. People who brag too early when they are only in the middle of the race often fail because they are subjective. These people often do not have What's scary? The people you should feel scary are those who silently persevere in their efforts every day and when they achieve results, everyone around them will feel surprised and admire the limits set to break through the world. Limits are created by your own thoughts, so what Hamad Gunny once said especially seems impossible until you accomplish it. Remember how many things you initially found difficult. But then when you do it, you feel really excited. When you can't run one kilometer, you feel like it's really too difficult, so when you run 3 kilometers, you see reaching 5 kilometers as a challenge. The possibility of one kilometer is no longer your only concern. When you can't wake up at 6 o'clock, you will find it tiring. Until you can make it a habit. laugh when someone tells you that the habit of waking up at 6 a.m. is difficult and just like that, as you break through the limits you set for yourself, you will gradually believe in yourself more and be motivated. Conquer the next goals in your efforts and you will encounter failures, but I understand this feeling and you know that failure is part of the game and the longer the road, the more arduous it becomes. Failure is a ladder to help you go further, put your foot on each step.
