“Our only limitations are those we set up in our own minds.”
Bare af at læse 2 kapitler i bogen kan jeg mærke at Napoleon Hill har fat i noget. Bogen er spækket med kloge ord og anekdoter. Jeg kan kun give mine varmeste anbefalinger, især bør man læse de sidste 5-6 sider af kapitel to. En lille samling af afsnit og sætninger som virkelig ramte klokkerent:
“A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which insured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing his men before the first battle, he said, “You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores alive unless we win! We now have no choice-we win-or we perish! They won.“
“SUCCESS REQUIRES NO APOLOGIES, FAILURE PERMITS NO ALIBIS.”
“EVERY FAILURE BRINGS WITH IT THE SEED OF AN EQUIVALENT SUCCESS.”
Og dette digt som ledte mine tanker mod The Secret:
“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store.
For Life is a just employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why, you must bear the task.
I worked for a menial’s hire,
Only to learn dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have willingly paid.”
Jeg tør ikke begynde på 3. kapitel da jeg netop har lavet en række mål for de næste 4 uger hvor det ene er at få nok søvn
