5. og 6. kapitel af “Think and grow rich”
Skrevet af Aligned Evolution på 16 februar, 2008
“IT PAYS TO KNOW HOW TO PURCHASE KNOWLEDGE!“
Kapitel 5 handler om viden og om at man ikke nødvendigvis behøver at have viden omkring et emne, bare man har folk der har den viden.
“KNOWLEDGE will not attract money, unless it is organized, and intelligently directed, through practical PLANS OF ACTION, to the DEFINITE END of accumulation of money.“
“Many people make the mistake of assuming that, because Henry Ford had but little “schooling,” he is not a man of “education.” Those who make this mistake do not know Henry Ford, nor do they understand the real meaning of the word “educate.” That word is derived from the Latin word “educo,” meaning to educe, to draw out, to DEVELOP FROM WITHIN. An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others. Henry Ford comes well within the meaning of this definition.“ Efterfulgt af en mere dybdegående historie om Henry Fords egne oplevelser med disse fordomme.
“I BELIEVE THAT CLOSE ASSOCIATION WITH ONE WHO REFUSES TO COMPROMISE WITH CIRCUMSTANCES HE DOES NOT LIKE, IS AN ASSET THAT CAN NEVER BE MEASURED IN TERMS OF MONEY.“
Kapitel 6 handler om fantasi og hvordan man udnytter det.
“If you are one of those who believe that hard work and honesty, alone, will bring riches, perish the thought! It is not true!“
“First you give life and action and guidance to ideas, then they take on power of their own and sweep aside all opposition.“
Kapitel 6 indeholder også to rigtig gode historier, om Coca Cola’s skabelse og om Frank W. Gunsaulus‘ ”Million Dollar sermon”.
Powerfull stuff, perfekt læsning til en stille og rolig lørdag aften uden druk og hor.
