Thoughts To Steer It By
If only you realise it, nothing stands between you and a| $35,000,000 fortune other than the original $100 stake and a book by Napoleon Hill and W. Clement Stone!
THE book is called Success Through a Positive Mental Atti tude. Napoleon is already an author (Think and Grow Rich); and W.
Clement is the fellow who actually once turned SIOO into $35 million.
Putting aside for a moment the manifold blessings that have come to the world through the United States, it is also the country where almost anything can be achieved by mail order or by reading a book. And it’s the piece of earth that has bred such phenomena as Amy McPherson, Billy Graham, the Reader’s Digest and Dale Carnegie.
Only America could have pro duced that array of talent, or pro duced Success Through a PM A. Just reading its 17 chapters on how to Get Up and Go is like entering a commercial concrete mixer. You emerge either vibrating all over, your teeth bared and muttering the 17 principles of success; or as deflated as a bust inner tube, convinced that you are just an old NMA (negative men tal attitude) after all, and there’s nothing to do but crawl back under your stone.
Nothing stands between you and success, say Napoleon and Clement, but you. You are the Most Important Living Person. By adopting PMA, instead of NMA, you can change your whole world; clear the cobwebs off your thinking and (in two chap ters), explore the powers of your mind.
That’s in Part I. In Part 11, five “mental bombshells” for attacking success are outlined; Part 111 gives the key to the Citadel of Wealth; Part IV tells you how to raise your energy level, enjoy good health, at tract happiness and get rid of your
guilt feeling. Part V rounds off tl programme by giving you a Succe Quotient Analysis (if you score 31 you’re perfect; if only 100 yoili better cut your throat); a list I books for further reading; a| thoughts to steer by.
In this war with yourself to ri above the ruck of your poor, flon dering fellows you are advised to ci: on God; on OPM (Other PeopliJ Money if you haven’t any of yet own to start with); to kick sex bai into its right place; to have a Magj; ficent Obsession (like making I couple of million); and not to bep square peg in a round hole.
That’s just a cross-section of I advice that comes by the bushel! the 254 pages of this extraordini document which is calculated I leave the average reader on the poh of exhaustion. If it could be shippe in bulk to the USSR, and distributi free among the Russians, it wo* undoubtedly prove a most effect!
American secret weapon.
We can just see all those Ivai putting OPM to work for them, th coming into conflict with the Seri who are shattered beyond hope I the discovery that they have a NM.I while Mr. Krushchev, filling in jl Success Quotient Analysis questi® naire founders on Section 8, sty section C: “Are you liked by tho with whom you work Y: Personally I’ve never wantti $35,000,000. I’d settle for the sl*l not to have to go through this se: revealing ordeal again.
