Writing my thoughts on ‘Think & Grow Rich’ and about its author Napoleon Hill is just like writing about a very dear and respected teacher.
I first read this book when I was a teenager in College. Right from there I can’t recollect how many times I re-read this wonderful masterpiece on success. Whatever little success I have achieved in my life till date, a major portion of that is because of books like ‘Think and Grow Rich’
I have read two more books by Napoleon Hill. One is ‘You can work your own miracle’ and the name of another I can’t recall. However, both these two books are also excellent and highly recommended to all.
This book taught me that human mind is the most important and powerful tool in this world. Through this tool, we can achieve almost anything in life.
Many people are not aware that the son of Napoleon Hill was deaf by birth. However, Napoleon did not admit him to special school for such children. He insisted that his son should study in a normal school. He kept feeding his son with the inputs of positive thoughts and self-confidence. And one day his son regained a partial capacity of hearing by using the process of ‘bone conduction of sound’ (which was unknown at that time). You can read about it in detail in the book ‘You can work your own miracle’.
Here are my favorites inspiring quotes from the works of Napoleon Hill :
“Every adversity, every failure, every misfortune and every defeat has in itself the seed of a greater or equivalent benefit.”
“What human mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve”
“There is nothing which life has to offer is worth the price of worry”
“Life battles don’t go to the fastest or the strongest man, sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can ! “

In my opinion whenever any attempt to build a list of best success books of all times will be made, this wonderful book ‘ Think and Grow Rich’ will be in Top ‘3’ Books.
