I am reading Napoleon Hill’s  “A Year of Growing RICH, 52 Steps to Achieving Life’s Rewards”.  I have decided that as I read this book, I will post the things that impress me from each chapter.  So here we are, chapter 1, some really great stuff here.

“The person who acts with purpose and a plan attracts opportunities.  How can life give you anything if you don’t know what you want yourself?  How can others help you to succeed if you haven’t decided how to get there yourself?  Only with definiteness of purpose will you be able to overcome the defeats and adversities that will stand in your way”.

…

“He, like many others since, built his own  success by helping others achieve theirs.”

…

“If you want to achieve success, make today the day you stop drifting.  Decide upon a definite goal.  Write it down.  Commit it to memory.  Decide exactly how you plan to achieve it.  Then begin by putting the plan into action immediately.”

“Your future is what you make it.  Decide now what it shall be”.
