FOREWORD

WHAT DO YOU WANT MOST?
Is It Money, Fame, Power, Contentment, Personality, Peace of Mind, Happiness?

The Thirteen Steps to Riches described in this book offer the shortest dependable philosophy of individual achievement ever presented for the benefit of the man or woman who is searching for a definite goal in life. Before beginning the book you will profit greatly if you recognize the fact that the book was not written to entertain. You cannot digest the contents properly in a week or a month. After reading the book thoroughly, Dr. Miller Reese Hutchison, nationally known Consulting Engineer and long-time associate of 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

From this reading, I asked myself, “Which mindset is a better mindset to be?” I suddenly realized that the ability to succeed in learning and in life is not IQ or talent, but it was each individual's effort and…

    Can you really think your way to wealth and success? After over twenty years of extensive study of many of America’s magnates of industry, Napoleon Hill concluded that within the power of the mind lies the “secret” to wealth, happiness, and success. In 1937, he published his findings in one of the first of its kind, a philosophical, self-help book titled, Think and Grow Rich. In it, he outlines 13 key principles gleaned from his study of successful individuals, which if consistently applied, could bring success to the common man. Hill uses entertaining and inspiring real-life accounts throughout the book to demonstrate the effectiveness of the various principles. Most, if not all of the principles espoused…

    The 10,000-hour rule, popularized by Malcolm Gladwell, is considered a key to success. Though hard work is necessary for mastering something, do we really need to spend 10,000 hours or is there more to this than Gladwell presented in his book Outliers? With further research it was found that 10,000 hours is not the end all be all for mastery. In fact, Gladwell was wrong because he oversimplified what is necessary for mastery and the amount of work people need to put in by a long shot.…

    As children we grow up with our own dream of success; such as being a doctor, living in a mansion, or having millions of dollars to our name. A great factor of success depends on an individual’s effort and motivation to pursue their dreams and follow through with their future plans. An individual may succeed or fail in life based on small habits. The Slight Edge: Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happiness, by Jeff Olson, recognizes the fundamentals of being a successful person and how to achieve success. The “slight edge” is defined as the small advantage a small percent have over others. Olson describes an act of using a “small daily discipline” to form your everyday habits into a way of success. A “small daily discipline”…

    P; istory 's great achievers - a Napoleon, a da Vinci, a Mozart - have always managed themselves. That, in large measure, is what makes them great achievers. But they are rare exceptions, so unusual both in their talents and their accomplishments as to be considered outside the boundaries of ordinary human existence. Now, most of us, even those of us with modest endowments, will have to learn to manage ourselves. We will have to learn to develop ourselves. We will have to place ourselves where we can make the greatest contribution. And we will have to stay mentally alert and engaged during a 50-year working life, which means knowing how and when to change the work we do.…

    What do you want most? It’s an important question. What you want most governs just about everything you do. Maybe you want to love others most, or maybe you want to make money most. While neither of those are inherently evil things to want, neither one compares to the greatest thing to be had: God Himself. Jonathan Edwards said in one of his sermons,…

    Success has always been the goal in American society, and it is commonly measured by intelligence or income. This mindset has been around since the birth of our nation, but why is this our ultimate goal? Americans seem to forget the process of becoming successful and only focus on the result. Various American literature supports Dr. Allan’s idea that true value and success are based on growth, not accolade.…
