Is Think And Grow Rich By Napoleon Hill Enough To Build A Strong Belief In Yourself?
I’ve written about Napoleon Hill before. But recently I was in an online forum and I’m always amazed at the attention and interest the work of Napoleon Hill still get’s so many decades after his death.
In the post I was reading the person who started the thread was asking people to explain in our own words what we thought Hills most famous book was all about. Elsewhere on the same thread the poster came back and commented that he thought it was about faith and total belief.
Here’s how I responded:
You are absolutely right on about the total belief thing. But here’s the rub. Any belief no matter what it is about can only be established through one of these two ways:
1. Argument – a story, a discussion, a great book read over and over such as Think and Grow Rich (you get the idea) 2. Hard evidence – If you put your finger over a flame you will from then on be able to totally believe anyone who says that fire burns.
Now, I’m sure that you would agree hard evidence trumps mere argument any day.
