I think a lot of people in their busy lives are a little like that lost tribe in the jungle, the "farkarwees". Whenever a wayward lost traveller meets them as they are running madly down a jungle track and asks them who they are, they reply "we're the farkarwee!" and he says "I don't know! but...

I think you're spot on there MarkR. Our choices and actions all begin with our thoughts. All the elements in the book - desire, decision, faith, persistence, mastermind and organised planning - are determined by what you think. Cheers Julie It is our choices that show what we truly are...

I like the saying "our lives are shaped by the questions we ask" maybe we could add "and the thoughts we act upon". thanks tony regards Simon

Hi markpatric I read the above which was your first post on this topic and found it easy to accept your honest view. I am perplexed however, by your follow up posts. It appears that you have spent an enormous amount of time and effort over the years studying NH's book but seem disillusioned or...

Great stuff Mark My take on it is very similar. Desire, decision, faith, persistance, mastermind group, organised planning, continuous improvement, vision. ... and that's from memory coz I don't have the book with me. I also thought the chapter eluding to the power that can be harnessed...

I believe always learning has "hit the nail on the head" in regard to this topic with the above earlier post. Julie and I wanted to make money out of property so that we could spend our time doing things we wanted without going out to work for a wage each week. After deciding that the above was...

Not the book. Me & you et al. I'm on holiday atm. I think I'll go back to my true crime stories. No offence but we're chasing our tails here. Happy New Year. Julie

I like your mindset Geoff. I think you may save some of us from taking ourselves too seriously. :D Happy New Year! Julie

Perhaps the little girl would not have been so bold had Darcy not been present. Either way, she saw an opportunity, took a risk and it paid off. Your view of this story is obviously different to mine. I think it is one of things that make this book stand out from many others. People either...

"Norm Hill (finding car spaces)" For those readers of this post who have not been introduced to Norm Hill. He is one of Nepoleon Hill's supernatural spirit guides who's job it was to go out before NH to find empty parking spaces for him to park his car and also do other things to help NH make...

Are we discussing the same book?I don't have much time for supernatural stuff. You seem to be making judgements based on your interpretation of the book. I hoped that I could help clarify some of your concerns about the work of NH but I fear that you are more concerned about being right in your...

Hi markpatric I don't think you and I have same understanding of the secret to TAGR. The key ingrediant that your above quote is missing is "by focusing on the solution one will be in a much better position to figure out, equip and educate oneself on how to acheive the goal at hand. There is...

Hi markpatric the book is entitled "Think and grow rich" not "think and live forever" I might add that Nepoleon Hill's lifes work has imortalised him as an inspiration to millions of people and I believe this inspiration will live on for future generations as the basic concepts of his...

Hi Monoply What a novel idea for attracting ratings. I suppose the secret will be revealed and 20% of viewers will say "that was interesting" and maybe 20% of those people may take that knowledge and act on it to some degree and so on and so on. As for the other 80% they would probably tell...

Good stuff ren-A I'm gonna print that out and put it on the fridge door. regards Simon

Hi Fivemillion I spend a lot of time travelling between Canberra and Sydney by car and often listen to the man himself through a series of CD,s that I got given indirectly from Geoff W(I think he has the info on where to get copies). I find the CD's a powerfull way to take on board NH's...

Replace "kooky" with "extraordinary". It doesn't matter what terms you use. Ordinary people get ordinary results. To become truly wealthy you need to do your own thing and make your own decisions without someone holding your hand and that is one of the things you can read between the lines in...

I agree with a lot of what has been said and I must say that I will never apologise for being a little "kooky". Being kooky probably has a lot to do with travelling your own road and not staying with the herd. I also believe that being a fanatic and a little obsessed with your goals can go a...

Very true Always Learning. Many people have read "Think and Grow Rich" but are not yet rich. The real secret is to follow all the clues in the book and one of those is to take action that is in line with your organised planning. A couple of years ago I spoke to a group of investors. I...

Mark Acey and Bill L said that there was no secret, whereas Rodimus had a different response. I think the real clues here Mark are RESULTS. Rodimus said that his Dad has given the book credit for his wealth and I can tell you it did the same for me. The book had a significant impact on...
