Think and Grow Rich:

Napoleon Hill’s Blueprint for Personal Power

(with the Voices of Earl Nightingale and Bob Proctor)

 

Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich has endured for more than a century for a simple reason: it treats wealth not as luck, but as a predictable outcome of thought, desire, emotion, and action. In a world that often rewards speed and noise, Hill’s work slows you down so you can decide what you truly want, commit to it with intensity, and organize your mind as a tool for achievement.

But Hill did not write in a vacuum. Two later authors Earl Nightingale and Bob Proctor offered complementary insights that help readers translate Hill’s principles into everyday behavior. Nightingale brought a clear, memorable lens on the power of consistent thinking, especially through his emphasis on the “average” outcome of your environment and mental patterns. Proctor, meanwhile, focused on the mechanics of belief, identity, and the way people create their results by what they accept as true.

Together, these voices form a powerful trilogy of influence: Hill shows you the architecture of success, Nightingale helps you see the long-term effect of repetition, and Proctor reveals why belief is the missing link between intention and performance.

Desire: The First Spark of Achievement

Hill begins by grounding success in desire—not casual wishing, but a burning need strong enough to compel action. Desire creates direction. Without it, your mind drifts; with it, your mind becomes a compass.

Here, Nightingale’s perspective fits neatly. He famously discussed how people often get what they repeatedly focus on because their lives gravitate toward their mental “track.” In other words, if you desire something deeply but rarely think about it, rarely visualize it, and rarely plan for it, you’re not feeding the fire. You’re merely admiring the idea.

Proctor would add that desire becomes durable when it aligns with belief. The mind doesn’t only respond to what you want; it responds to what you assume is possible. So the question is not only, “What do I want?” but also, “What do I believe I’m capable of becoming?”

Faith, Subconscious Mind, and the Signal You Send

One of Hill’s most practical and most misunderstood tools is the subconscious mind. He argues that your subconscious is constantly absorbing impressions and then working to make your dominant thoughts real. This process accelerates when you develop faith a state of knowing that your goal is attainable and that your next actions matter.

Nightingale’s commentaries reinforce this notion by emphasizing that your mental habits don’t just influence your mood; they shape your destiny. If your subconscious is like a field, then your thoughts are the seeds. Nightingale reminds us that what grows over time is rarely dramatic or sudden it’s cultivated.

Proctor takes it one step deeper. He often speaks about how people live inside a mental “program.” When your beliefs are limited, your actions become cautious. When your beliefs expand, your behavior becomes creative. The result is not just improved effort; it’s a shift in what you notice, how you interpret opportunities, and why you persist when others quit.

Hill calls this faith “the state of mind that can be measured by its absence of doubt.” Proctor would call it alignment your inner story matches your outer goal.

Specialized Knowledge and Organized Action

Thought alone is not enough. Hill repeatedly insists that ideas must be connected to knowledge and expressed through action. He outlines a system for gathering specialized knowledge through study, mentorship, experience, and deliberate practice.

This is where Nightingale’s steady emphasis on consistency becomes essential. Many people begin enthusiastically and then lose momentum when excitement fades. Nightingale’s frame encourages readers to treat personal development as a long-term investment. Success is not a sprint you win; it’s a pattern you sustain.

Proctor, in turn, emphasizes that action must be structured by vision. People often “do more” without “knowing why.” Proctor’s approach suggests you ask: What result am I building? What belief must I strengthen to support the behavior required? What daily actions make my goal feel inevitable?

Hill’s principles align with this: he argues that organized plans transform desire into measurable progress.

The Driving Force of Emotion

Hill identifies emotion as the fuel that powers thought into action. Desire without emotion is like a plan without fuel; emotion provides intensity and commitment.

Nightingale’s philosophy explains the emotional dimension by focusing on how feelings reinforce thinking. When you attach strong emotion to a goal (excitement, gratitude, anticipation) you make your mental repetition more powerful. Over time, the goal becomes familiar, and familiarity breeds confidence.

Proctor adds a vital clarification: belief is not merely intellectual it is emotional. You don’t simply “know” you can succeed; you feel it. When your emotional state and your belief system cooperate, you take action more naturally and persist longer.

Persistence: The Bridge Between Thought and Results

Perhaps the most motivational element of Hill’s book is persistence. Many people understand the theory of success but fail at the practice. Hill argues that persistence is the method by which you convert effort into outcomes.

Nightingale’s commentary supports this by pointing out that the average results of a person’s life are the result of their average mental focus. If you persist consistently, your average changes. Over time, your output improves.

Proctor’s emphasis on belief helps persistence feel less like gritting your teeth and more like staying loyal to a vision. If you truly believe your goal is inevitable, your persistence becomes identity-based: you act like the kind of person who finishes.

A Practical Way to Use Hill Today

To make Think and Grow Rich more than a motivational read, apply it as a daily system:

1. Write a specific goal with absolute clarity.
2. Develop a burning desire by connecting the goal to a meaningful reason.
3. Practice daily visualization and mental rehearsal as if your goal is already in motion.
4. Build specialized knowledge through books, courses, mentors, and real-world practice.
5. Create an organized action plan with weekly milestones.
6. Strengthen faith by reviewing evidence, progress, and lessons especially when doubt appears.
7. Persist through setbacks as if challenges are part of the training.
8. Monitor your beliefs and replace limiting thoughts with empowering ones.

Nightingale’s lens reminds you to treat your mental habits as the driver of your average outcome. Proctor’s lens reminds you that beliefs shape your behavior and behavior shapes your results.

Conclusion: Your Mind as the Wealth Engine

Napoleon Hill’s genius is not in promising magic; it’s in teaching process. He argues that wealth grows from organized thought, intensified desire, faith, emotion, knowledge, and persistent action. Earl Nightingale helps you see how consistency turns thinking into destiny. Bob Proctor helps you understand why belief is the engine beneath the behavior.

If you want to benefit from Think and Grow Rich, don’t ask only, “How do I get rich?” Ask instead: “How do I program my mind to support the person who gets the results I want?” When your thoughts become organized, your emotions become committed, and your actions become persistent, success stops looking like luck and starts looking like a system.

So begin today, with one clear desire and one decisive action. Then repeat because the mind, like a garden, responds to what you cultivate.

The One Idea That Made Me Millions

NOTES - QUOTES

Bob Proctor:

The One Idea From Think & Grow Rich That Made Me Millions

In this video, Bob Proctor discusses the core principles of personal success and wealth creation, primarily drawing from his experience with the concepts found in Think and Grow Rich. He emphasizes that individuals are the mental architects of their own destiny (3:53) and that success depends on understanding and application rather than mere reading (7:42).

Key concepts covered in the video include:

• The Power of Imagination and Mental Images: Proctor argues that the mind can tap into 'thought stuff' to create any image (0:11, 4:56). He stresses that you must build a clear, detailed picture of the life you want, seeing yourself as having already achieved it (5:18, 35:00).
• Thinking from the End: Instead of working toward a goal, Proctor teaches that you should 'work from the goal' (53:43). This involves acting, walking, and talking as the person you intend to become (4:37, 33:00).
• The Law of Perpetual Transmutation: He explains that once you impress a clear image onto your subconscious mind and get emotionally involved with it, the energy must move into physical form (14:43, 37:39).
• Overcoming Outside Opinion: A recurring theme is the necessity of disregarding the opinions of others. Proctor emphasizes that you should not be concerned with what others think, but rather focus on your own internal image and purpose (34:06, 42:44).
• The Role of Persistence: Persistence is identified as the vital quality needed to maintain the vision of prosperity and prepare you to receive the good you desire (5:53, 6:30).

Throughout the video, Proctor shares personal anecdotes, such as his decision to pursue his own path in business rather than following the traditional advice he received in school (10:07) and his partnership with Sandy Gallagher in building a global company (50:00). He concludes by reiterating that everyone has the same potential as a 'center of divine operation' (15:19, 52:15) and can achieve success by following these universal laws.

Earl Nightingale: Think and Grow Rich (Condensed)

Think and Grow Rich (Condensed)

This video, narrated by Earl Nightingale, provides a condensed summary of Napoleon Hill’s seminal success book, Think and Grow Rich. The core philosophy posits that everything begins with an idea and that by controlling one's mind through specific, persistent, and organized thoughts, one can achieve any desired goal.

The Thirteen Principles of Success:

1. Desire (5:33): The starting point for all achievement. It must be a "burning desire" accompanied by a definite plan and a willingness to commit fully.
2. Faith (9:53): A state of mind induced by repeating affirmations to the subconscious, forming the belief that you will achieve your purpose.
3. Auto-Suggestion (13:31): The method of influencing the subconscious mind through repeated, emotionalized affirmations of your goals.
4. Specialized Knowledge (16:03): Power comes from organizing specific knowledge into a concrete plan of action.
5. Imagination (17:00): The workshop where plans are created. "Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
6. Organized Planning (18:57): The creation of practical, faultless plans, ideally supported by a Mastermind group.
7. Decision (21:55): The mastery of procrastination. Successful people make decisions quickly and change them slowly, if at all.
8. Persistence (24:30): The power of will; the habit of continuing toward a goal despite obstacles.
9. Power of the Mastermind (26:18): Coordinating knowledge and effort with other people to create a "third mind" that stimulates progress.
10. Enthusiasm/Sex Transmutation (27:43): Channeling natural bodily drives and human relationships into positive, creative outlets.
11. The Subconscious Mind (28:44): The field of consciousness that records and acts upon your dominant thoughts and desires.
12. The Brain (32:44): Recognizing the brain as a powerful, intricate machine that acts as a receiving and broadcasting set for thought energy.
13. The Sixth Sense (34:26): The apex of the philosophy, allowing for flashes of inspiration and intuition after mastering the previous principles.

Napoleon Hill concludes the record (37:46) by encouraging listeners to apply these principles daily, use a Mastermind group, and adopt a habit of rendering more and better service than expected to attract success.

Thomas A. Edison, said--
"This is not a novel. It is a textbook on individual achievement that came directly from the experiences of hundreds of America's most successful men. It should be studied, digested, and meditated upon. No more than one chapter should be read in a single night. The reader should underline the sentences which impress him most. Later, he should go back to these marked lines and read them again. A real student will not merely read this book, he will absorb its contents and make them his own. This book should be adopted by all high schools and no boy or girl should be permitted to graduate without having satisfactorily passed an examination on it. This philosophy will not take the place of the subjects taught in schools, but it will enable one to organize and apply the knowledge acquired, and convert it into  useful service and adequate compensation without waste of time."

 

Chapter 1. Introduction

• ...thoughts are things; mix with definiteness of purpose, persistence, and a burning desire...
• The object of this book is to help all who seek it, to learn the art of changing their minds from FAILURE CONSCIOUSNESS to SUCCESS CONSCIOUSNESS. Another weakness found in altogether too many people, is the habit of measuring everything, and everyone, by their own impressions and beliefs. Some who will read this, will believe that no one can THINK AND GROW RICH. They cannot think in terms of riches, because their thought habits have been steeped in poverty, want, misery, failure, and defeat.

• When Henley wrote the prophetic lines, "I am the Master of my Fate, I am the Captain of my Soul," he should have informed us that we are the Masters of our Fate, the Captains of our Souls, because we have the power to control our thoughts.

• our brains become magnetized with the dominating thoughts which we hold in our minds, and, by means with which no man is familiar, these "magnets" attract to us the forces, the people, the circumstances of life which harmonize with the nature of our dominating thoughts.

Chapter 2. Desire

• ...The starting point of all achievement

• Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success.

• The method by which DESIRE for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, viz:

• First. Fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter).

• Second. Determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.)

• Third. Establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

• Fourth. Create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

• Fifth. Write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

• Sixth. Read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. AS YOU READ-- SEE AND FEEL AND BELIEVE YOURSELF ALREADY IN POSSESSION OF THE MONEY

• It may be of further help to know that the six steps here recommended were carefully scrutinized by the late Thomas A. Edison, who placed his stamp of approval upon them as being, not only the steps essential for the accumulation of money, but necessary for the attainment of any definite goal.

• EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT SUCCESS.

• "The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. DREAMS ARE THE SEEDLINGS OF REALITY."

• Let Emerson state the thought in these words, "Every proverb, every book, every byword that belongs to thee for aid and comfort shall surely come home through open or winding passages. Every friend whom not thy fantastic will, but the great and tender soul in thee craveth, shall lock thee in his embrace."

• Through some strange and powerful principle of "mental chemistry" which she has never divulged, Nature wraps up in the impulse of STRONG DESIRE "that something" which recognizes no such word as impossible, and accepts no such reality as failure.

Chapter 3. Faith

• Visualization of, and belief in the attainment of Desire
• the head chemist of the mind...
• Faith, Love, and Sex are the top three positive emotions

• When the three are blended, they have the effect of "coloring" the vibration of thought in such a way that it instantly reaches the subconscious mind, where it is changed into its spiritual equivalent, the only form that induces a response from Infinite Intelligence.

• Love and faith are psychic; related to the spiritual side of man. Sex is purely biological, and related only to the physical. The mixing, or blending, of these three emotions has the effect of opening a direct line of communication between the finite, thinking mind of man, and Infinite Intelligence.

• FAITH is a state of mind which may be induced, or created, by affirmation or repeated instructions to the subconscious mind, through the principle of auto-suggestion... you may CONVINCE the subconscious mind that you believe you will receive that for which you ask, and it will act upon that belief, which your subconscious mind passes back to you in the form of "FAITH," followed by definite plans for procuring that which you desire.

• FAITH is the "eternal elixir" which gives life, power, and action to the impulse of thought!

• From the great storehouse of the ether, the human mind is constantly attracting vibrations which harmonize with that which DOMINATES the human mind.

• any idea, plan, or purpose may be placed in the mind through repetition of thought.

• First. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I DEMAND of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

• Second. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality, therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.

• Third. I know through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it, therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of SELF-CONFIDENCE.

• Fourth. I have clearly written down a description of my DEFINITE CHIEF AIM in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

• Fifth. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.

   

Chapter 4. Auto-Suggestion

• ...The Medium for Influencing the Subconscious mind

• AUTO-SUGGESTION is a term which applies to all suggestions and all self-administered stimuli which reach one's mind through the five senses. Stated in another way, auto-suggestion is self-suggestion. It is the agency of communication between that part of the mind where conscious thought takes place, and that which serves as the seat of action for the subconscious mind.

• all sense impressions which are perceived through the five senses, are stopped by the CONSCIOUS thinking mind, and may be either passed on to the subconscious mind, or rejected, at will. The conscious faculty serves, therefore, as an outer-guard to the approach of the subconscious.

• Your ability to use the principle of auto-suggestion will depend, very largely, upon your capacity to CONCENTRATE upon a given DESIRE until that desire becomes a BURNING OBSESSION.

• Hand over the thought suggested in the preceding paragraph to your IMAGINATION, and see what your imagination can, or will do, to create practical plans for the accumulation of money through transmutation of your desire.

• When the plans appear, they will probably "flash" into your mind through the sixth sense, in the form of an "inspiration." This inspiration may be considered a direct "telegram," or message from Infinite Intelligence.

• Remember, also, that your subconscious mind will act ONLY upon instructions which are emotionalized, and handed over to it with "feeling." FAITH is the strongest, and most productive of the emotions. Follow the instructions given in the chapter on FAITH.

• The time will soon come, if you do as you have been instructed, in spirit as well as in act, when a whole new universe of power will unfold to you.

• may truly say, "I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul!"

• Man may become the master of himself, and of his environment, because he has the POWER TO INFLUENCE HIS OWN SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, and through it, gain the cooperation of Infinite Intelligence.

• ...

Chapter 5. Specialized Knowledge

• Personal experiences or observations

• Knowledge is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action, and directed to a definite end.

• Any man is educated who knows where to get knowledge when he needs it, and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action.

• The accumulation of great fortunes calls for POWER, and power is acquired through highly organized and intelligently directed specialized knowledge, but that knowledge does not, necessarily, have to be in the possession of the man who accumulates the fortune.

• As knowledge is acquired it must be organized and put into use, for a definite purpose, through practical plans.

• Successful men, in all callings, never stop acquiring specialized knowledge related to their major purpose, business, or profession.

•  The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.

•  Back of all IDEAS is specialized knowledge. Unfortunately, for those who do not find riches in abundance, specialized knowledge is more abundant and more easily acquired than IDEAS.

• Capability means IMAGINATION, the one quality needed to combine specialized knowledge with IDEAS, in the form of ORGANIZED PLANS designed to yield riches.

Chapter 6. Imagination

...

• THE imagination is literally the workshop wherein are fashioned all plans created by man. The impulse, the DESIRE, is given shape, form, and ACTION through the aid of the imaginative faculty of the mind.
• The imaginative faculty functions in two forms. One is known as "synthetic imagination," and the other as "creative imagination."
• SYNTHETIC IMAGINATION:--Through this faculty, one may arrange old concepts, ideas, or plans into new combinations.
• CREATIVE IMAGINATION:--Through the faculty of creative imagination, the finite mind of man has direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.  ...hunches and inspirations, ...vibrations received, ...tune in to subconscious minds of others...
•  ONLY when the conscious mind is vibrating at an exceedingly rapid rate, as for example, when the conscious mind is stimulated through the emotion of a strong desire.
• As far as science has been able to determine, the entire universe consists of but two elements--matter and energy.

Chapter 7. Organized Planning

 

• THE CRYSTALLIZATION OF DESIRE INTO ACTION
• ...everything man creates or acquires, begins in the form of DESIRE... then into the workshop of the IMAGINATION... where PLANS for its transition are created and organized.
• ...PERSISTENCE in creating new plans to take the place of those which fail.

• Temporary defeat should mean only one thing, the certain knowledge that there is something wrong with your plan.

• Your achievement can be no greater than your PLANS are sound.

• ...if his experience turns out to be FAILURE, it will be for the reason that he lacks the fire of PERSISTENCE to rebuild his plans.

• If you give up before your goal has been reached, you are a "quitter." A QUITTER NEVER WINS--AND--A WINNER NEVER QUITS.

• Some people foolishly believe that only MONEY can make money. This is not true! DESIRE, transmuted into its monetary equivalent, through the principles laid down here, is the agency through which money is "made." Money, of itself, is nothing but inert matter. It cannot move, think, or talk, but it can "hear" when a man who DESIRES it, calls it to come!

• ... How to market personal services...

Chapter 8. Decision

• ...PROCRASTINATION, the opposite of DECISION, is a common enemy which practically every man must conquer.
• ...If you are influenced by the opinions of others, you will have no DESIRE of your own.

• Keep your eyes and ears wide open--and your mouth CLOSED, if you wish to acquire the habit of prompt DECISION.

• Genuine wisdom is usually conspicuous through modesty and silence.

• "TELL THE WORLD WHAT YOU INTEND TO DO, BUT FIRST SHOW IT."

• thought, backed by strong DESIRE, has a tendency to transmute itself into its physical equivalent.

•  ...

 

Chapter 9. Persistence

 

THE SUSTAINED EFFORT NECESSARY TO INDUCE FAITH

• PERSISTENCE is an essential factor in the procedure of transmuting DESIRE into its monetary equivalent. The basis of persistence is the POWER OF WILL. Will-power and desire, when properly combined, make an irresistible pair.

• If you find you are weak in PERSISTENCE, center your attention upon the instructions contained in the chapter on "Power";

• Your subconscious mind works continuously, while you are awake, and while you are asleep.

Chapter 10. Power Of The Master Mind

• POWER is essential for success in the accumulation of money. PLANS are inert and useless, without sufficient POWER to translate them into ACTION. This chapter will describe the method by which an individual may attain and apply POWER.
• ...

Chapter 11. The Mystery Of Sex Transmutation

• THE meaning of the word "transmute" is, in simple language, "the changing, or transferring of one element, or form of energy, into another." The emotion of sex brings into being a state of mind.
• ...

Chapter 12. The Subconscious Mind

• THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND consists of a field of consciousness, in which every impulse of thought that reaches the objective mind through any of the five senses, is classified and recorded, and from which thoughts may be recalled or withdrawn as letters may be taken from a filing cabinet.

• There is plenty of evidence to support the belief that the subconscious mind is the connecting link between the finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence. It is the intermediary through which one may draw upon the forces of Infinite Intelligence at will. It, alone, contains the secret process by which mental impulses are modified and changed into their spiritual equivalent. It, alone, is the medium through which prayer may be transmitted to the source capable of answering prayer.

• ...

Chapter 13. The Brain

• every human brain is both a broadcasting and receiving station for the vibration of thought.
• Through the medium of the ether... every human brain is capable of picking up vibrations of thought which are being released by other brains.
• ...compare, and consider the description of the Creative Imagination, as outlined in the chapter on Imagination.
• The Creative Imagination is the "receiving set" of the brain, which receives thoughts, released by the brains of others.
• It is the agency of communication between one's conscious, or reasoning mind, and the four sources from which one may receive thought stimuli.
• emotions. Through the emotions, the vibrations of thought may be increased.
• The subconscious mind is the "sending station" of the brain, through which vibrations of thought are broadcast. The Creative Imagination is the "receiving set," through which the vibrations of thought are picked up from the ether.
• machinery, consider now the principle of auto-suggestion, which is the medium by which you may put into operation your "broadcasting" station.
• You have but three principles to bear in mind, and to apply, when you wish to use your broadcasting station--the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, CREATIVE IMAGINATION, and AUTOSUGGESTION...

Chapter 14. The Sixth Sense

• THE DOOR TO THE TEMPLE OF WISDOM

• THE "thirteenth" principle is known as the SIXTH SENSE, through which Infinite Intelligence may, and will communicate voluntarily, without any effort from, or demands by, the individual. This principle is the apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated, understood, and applied ONLY by first mastering the other twelve principles.
• ...

Chapter 15. How To Outwit The Six Ghosts Of Fear

• Take Inventory of Yourself, As You Read This Closing Chapter, and Find out How Many of the "Ghosts" Are Standing in Your Way

• BEFORE you can put any portion of this philosophy into successful use, your mind must be prepared to receive it. The preparation is not difficult. It begins with study, analysis, and understanding of three enemies which you shall have to clear out. These are INDECISION, DOUBT, and FEAR!

•  

  ...

This Standing Army

• Observe the emphasis on the word POWERFUL. This army is standing at attention, ready to do the bidding of any person who will command it. It is YOUR army if you will take charge of it. These soldiers are labelled: DEFINITE CHIEF AIM; HABIT OF SAVING; SELF CONFIDENCE; IMAGINATION; INITIATIVE; LEADERSHIP; ENTHUSIASM; SELF CONTROL; DOING MORE THAN PAID FOR; PLEASING PERSONALITY; ACCURATE THOUGHT; CONCENTRATION; CO-OPERATION; FAILURE; TOLERANCE; GOLDEN RULE; THE MASTER MIND.
