ANDREW CARNEGIE - RULES TO SUCCESS – ORGANIZED BY NAPOLEON HILL

There are certain natural laws which when applied, success will be definite. Andrew Carnegie, a rich American steel maker, described these rules of success to Napoleon hill which he had utilised in his life achievement. Any person who likes to rise above average living can follow these laws in order to conquer his destinies. These laws are universal and applicable to anyone who likes to earn $100 or $billion through his capabilities. These are simple laws which are easy to comprehend and they bring endless joy and successes in our life, when we apply. There are 17 qualities for success and those are described below, which will help us to travel towards any destination:

Definiteness of purpose: It is process of designing or identifying an ultimate and pointed goal in our life. The purpose or goal is intentionally accumulated in our mind by continuous thinking process. It is an important step in self-development process, because, every rule described below are based on this principle.

The master mind: It involves grouping in harmony with like-minded, talented friends and colleagues in focus with our objectives. It is through this method, talents and character spread across men are utilised for our objectives through heart-based relationship.

Attractive personality: It involves development of good character and personality which is imperative for our accomplishments. Good character includes courtesy, empathy, communication, mental attitude, sincerity, decision making, sense of humour, etc.

Applied faith: It is a habit of having complete belief in our capability and in our objectives. It is otherwise known as self-confidence which helps us to rise after every failures (or delayed success).

Going the extra mile: It helps us to attain position and recognition within men. It is a natural law involving a habit of doing more than needed. For instance, as students, it is sufficient to attain pass marks in subjects, but, when we try to achieve centum, we are gain applause and fame – this is called “Going the extra mile”.

Organized individual endeavour: It is through this rule, we know, “How an individual can make purposeful and profitable use of his right and responsibility for the exercise of personal initiative, in focus with his objective.”

Creative vision: It includes usage of creativity skill (inherent in every human) towards our definite objective. It describes techniques like active and passive creativity. Active creativity means conceiving new creations and passive creativity means combination of active creations, leading to new creations.

Self-discipline: It involves manoeuvring our positive and negative emotions in accordance with our objectives. It is a habit involving perfect control over our stimulus and response.

Organized thinking: While previously described, “Organized individual endeavour” is applicable for actions, this law applies to our thinking process. It appraises ways for making our thoughts to stay on our objectives by repetitive thinking.

Learning from defeat: In reality, a defeat is just an identifier that teaches us: “our path towards our objective is deviating or wrong and needs correction.” Failures are a sign which guides us to redesign our way towards success.

Inspiration: It is also called controlled enthusiasm. We should be enthusiastic and desire to achieve our objective. It warns us with, “over-enthusiasm is as dangerous as no enthusiasm.”

Controlled attention: It is the act of combining all the faculties of the mind and concentrating them upon the attainment of a definite purpose.

The golden rule applied: It describes a habit of doing something to others before we expect things from them. It is an investment made for everlasting relationships.

Co-operation: We should deal with ourselves through our head, while others should be dealt with our heart – a basic rule for enchanting relationships.

Budgeting of time and money: It involves proper utilisation of money and time, by avoiding unnecessary dissipation of this powerful energy. With 24 hours of time in hand, we can distribute: 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work and 8 hours for leisure or self-improvement – a best time table to succeed.

The habit of health: Health tips like consumption of proper level of food, exercise, sleep etc. acquaintances are important. It states that we should comply with complete avoidance of medical drugs, since, the food we consume acts as a drug for health problems. If a headache occurs, we try to stop it with drugs, but, the root cause of headache may be improper digestion. So, without removing cause (indigestion), we can’t remove effect (headache). There is more possibility of headaches to continue, when indigestion is not taken upon.

Cosmic habit-force: Similar to Newton’s gravitational force (how objects are attracted towards earth centre); cosmic habit force is the natural process by which habits are formed and planted in our life. Deep and continuous thinking with avoidance of unnecessary thoughts will make needed habits to get rooted in our character.

INSPIRATIONS TO KILL DESPERATION

Authority is not conquering people through their weakness but by conquering people through their heart.

We are acclaimed or praised not for what we are capable of, but what we are doing.

Genius is the one who do complex things in a simpler way. They bear “normal physical features” yet they posses “abnormal mental features” developed through persistence, confidence, and temperance.

It is much easier to get things done from others through love than through compulsion or fear.

My personal experience: “A food served from my mother’s tender hands taste best than served from my hands.”
It is a universal truth that there is no 100% perfection in every natural existence. For instance, consider movement of earth or moon, they drift in their position slightly with years, showing non-conformance towards perfection. Even rising of sun, a small deviation in seconds or milliseconds occurs every day. But, it still remains an astonishing fact that the purity, perfection and devotion with which a mother delivers her love towards her children remains 100% perfect in time. For millions of years in past and millions for years to follow in future, this fact remains same, unbounded with time.

Possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, impossible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible, possible.
- A number of possible destroys an impossible staying between lines. So, are rules in life.

SOLUTION FOR LIFE TROUBLES – RELATIONSHIP

Few years from today, every people in the world believed that the problems and troubles prevailing in the society can only alleviated through money or material riches. They believed, “Because, money gives position, joy, peace, respect, etc. Earning money should be the ultimate objective of life.” Superiority in life was decided on the basis of the amount men accumulated. Society was discriminated on the basis on money. People even gave vent to fraudulent means for earning material incomes. “Getting something out of nothing” started to propagate in the society.

God got vexed about the attitude by which humans have got civilized. To edify and stir up human’s intellect, the infinite intelligence (god) incarnated on earth and planned to gift each family with a magical chest. The god exclaimed, “Oh humans! This magical box has the peculiar property to double material riches every month. But, with one condition, you can draw and invest only once to solve your life troubles.”

People got pleased in experiencing God’s resourceful blessings. With leaving sufficient resources needed for living, they invested rest of the resources in the magical chest.

Number of months crossed without single withdrawal from deposit. Because, the families had the motive of increased riches and they allowed incrimination of the account indefinitely for higher outcomes.

In the period of probation of the magical box, they tried to solve day to day problems without monetary factors. They contemplated “relationship and unity factor” as a solving guide to life-problems in the place of money. With new realisation, people experienced much peaceful life than what they had with money. Society reformed with harmony getting established and became renewed as an intellectual relationship centre.

With relationship as primary importance, material riches became secondary.

WORDS TO INSPIRE THINKING

What matters most is how we value ourselves than how others value us.

In marketing terminologies, we have profit factor and loss factor. But, in our life terminologies, we have only profit factor. What appear with short sight as losses are actually with long vision are profits.

Many mineral resources are laden in running river water than in stagnated pond. Similarly, human living stagnated due to past failures or future planning are devoid of life resources than the human who runs in perfect unison with time.

A clean cloth is used to wipe away dirt deposited in spectacles helping in better clarity of vision. Similarly, education cleans our intellectual spectacles to have clear vision over internal life and external society.

Many people know how to earn money but they don’t know how to save money. Saved riches are earned riches. It requires intelligence and talents to earn riches but it requires character to save riches.

QUOTES: “You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing that you think you cannot do.” - Eleanor Roosevelt

POSITIVE VISUALISATIONS

It was first time; I am meeting him in a kiosk (snack stall) near my college. He was arguing with the shopkeeper for extra cigarettes. The shopkeeper with health consciousness riposted, “I already gave you 2 cigarettes, additional cigarette will definitely injure your lungs and your life will be in stake. I won’t provide you anymore.”

This incident left a black impression about him in my mind, I thought, “How ill his activities are! He is destroying his beautiful life from ugly enjoyment habits.” Whenever I encountered him in the hostel or college, the incident stagnated in my memory flashed in my mind. As days passed, I started to visualise him as one of the worst personality, I have ever come across.

One day, he and I were waiting to make a call in hostel common phone booth. It was an urgent call, I needed to contact with my parents. Because, he came first, he was waiting to get his chance. As I had a negative picture about him, I didn’t express my urgent requirement.
But, he was empathetic to understand my need and allowed me to utilise his chance. Now, unconsciously, the negative picture which was engraved in my mind suddenly got dissolved and he became a friendly, kind, humane personality. After making call, I was waiting to acknowledge his sympathetic action. From the conversation he had in telephone, I came to understand that the person, he needed to converse had just left one minute before
.

After, 15 minutes waiting to make a call and his failed opportunity. I tried to express my regrets over his failed chance. I said, “Because, of my call you lost your call, I am extremely sorry for what happened.” Without disgusted about failure, he just made long, friendly smile and he said, “Oh my friend, I may missed an opportunity in just making a call but I didn’t missed an opportunity to help a good friend like you!”

His answers stroke my emotion with a feeling which I haven’t experienced before: “Even without interaction, he has positive impression about me. But, I have accumulated a negative impression about him by just looking his action without observing his intensions. His habits may be wrong, but not his relationships.”
