Napoleon Hill's 14 Secrets to Success
(as quoted from the 'inside flaps' of "Your Magic Power to be Rich!, featuring three classic works, revised and updated for the twenty-first century: Think and Grow Rich * The Magic Ladder to Success * The Master-Key to Success", by Napoleon Hill)
1. I render more service than I ask people to pay for.
2. I engage in no transaction, intentionally, that does not benefit all whom it affects.
3. I make no statements that I do not believe to be true.
4. I have a sincere desire in my heart to be of useful service to the greatest possible number of people.
5. I like people better than I like money.
6. I am doing my best to live, as well as to teach, my own philosophy of success.
7. I accept no favours from anyone without giving favours in return.
8. I ask nothing of any person without having a right to do that for which I ask.
9. I enter into no arguments with people over trivial matters.
10. I spread the unshine of optimism and good cheer wherever and whenever I can
11. I never flatter people for the purpose of gaining their confidence.
12. I sell counsel and advice to other people, at a modest price, but never offer free advice.
13. While teaching others how to acheive success, I have demonstrated that I can make my philosophy work for myself as well, thus "practicing what I preach".
14. I am so thoroughly sold on the work in which I am engaged that my enthusiasm over it becomes contagious and others are influenced by it.
