Name: The Law of Success in Sixteen Lessons
Author: Napoleon Hill

Synopsis

Drawn from years of interviews with early twentieth-century businessmen, Napoleon Hill's course arranges into sixteen lessons the habits that, in his view, separate people who achieve from people who only wish: a definite purpose, self-confidence, initiative and persistence.

My notes

Master mind: bringing together people with the same goal multiplies what each of them can do
A definite chief aim: without a clear target, all effort scatters
Self-confidence is built, nobody is born with it
The habit of saving: keeping part of what you earn gives you freedom of choice
Initiative and leadership: doing without needing to be told
Imagination: every achievement starts as an idea
Enthusiasm is contagious and moves the people around you
Self-control: whoever can't control themselves controls nothing
Doing more than you are paid for
A pleasing personality opens more doors than talent
Accurate thought: separating facts from opinions
Concentration on one thing at a time
Cooperation instead of competition
Profiting by failure: every defeat carries the seed of an equivalent advantage
Tolerance of people who think differently
The golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated
