In each chapter I include workshop questions to help guide you in modern terms to your growing destiny.
If you read and do the work recommended by Napoleon Hill and the workshop questions as if your life depends on it, you are absolutely right. My personal answers to the workshop question are at http://tgranswers.blogspot.com/. Comment there with your answers, sharing them and joining our virtual Master Mind group.
This chapter begins with: Whatever THE MIND OF a MAN can CONCIEVE and BELIEVE it can ACHIEVE. This could also be the sub-title of the book as it is a main theme, that a thought plus faith and action equals any possibilities. The book is obviously dated in the use of MAN. It should be person.
At some time these were only thoughts, traveling to the moon, creating electronic communication, curing polio, and curing Cancer and AIDS,(with growing success). All success from pay raises to space travel all began as thoughts.
1) According to the most important person in your life, you, what is the greatest achievement of any person that inspires you?
Under the title of the chapter title, DESIRE, is written The Starting Point of All Achievement, The First Step Towards Riches. Without some form of desire, we wouldn't metaphorically get out of bed. Desire can be good or bad like any form of power. The form of desire we are working with is all about creation and priming our minds to achieve. Nothing is free and no matter how many times I have read this book it has meant very little until I follow the directions and take action.
2) Here are Napoleon Hill's instructions on how to "Six Ways to Turn Desires into Gold:" If you follow these as if your life depends on it, you are exactly right.
First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. Be specific, give an exact dollar amount, there is proven psychology behind defining your goals. You will go no where if you just say, give me plenty; it is too ambiguous. Of course after you achieve this, your goal can increase dramatically.
Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. Something for nothing is a dubious sales pitch never to be believed.
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 a day, once in the morning, once just before sleep. As you read see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
It is absolutely vital that you follow these instructions, especially the last one. It may seem a little kooky, but it works. All great achievers practice some sort of visualization. So find a place where no one can hear you or read it to your significant other. They might laugh, and that is ok, because you both will be more than smiling as the money starts flowing. The more serious conviction you put into this, the quicker it will work. So stand up and preach to the masses in your mind until you live your new truth.
3) Remember Napoleon Hill researched the most successful people on earth and their successes were the secret you are bond to discover if you read this book as if you life absolutely depends on it. After reading the first two chapters, what has evolved as your idea of the secret?
In the remaining pages of the chapter, Napoleon Hill proves the above steps work with real life examples, including that of his own son. Look up any of the names on the Internet and you will see he was wiring about real flesh and blood. READ THINK AND GROW RICH AND YOUR ONLY REGRET WILL BE NOT DOING THIS SOONER!
