In All Starts In The Mind

Title: Think and Grow Rich 

Author: Napoleon Hill 

Genre: Self-Help, Psychology 

Pages: 218

I found an very old version of this book in my father's bookshelf. The cover doesn't look that interesting, but on the book it says bestseller. I also heard it's quite famous, so I gave this book a shot. 

I love this book! Although the title seems like a finance book and will be talking about money, but it's actually more of a self-help book that will help you achieve any of your dreams and desires. 

If you guys know the famous book "The Secret", I believe that this book should be the original Secret and that they copied the ideas from this book and made it simpler. Because, in this book they discussed the power of the mind and law of attraction in more details. If you love The Secret, you should really really read this book. 

Quotes From The Book

“The starting point of all achievement is DESIRE. Keep this constantly in mind. Weak desire brings weak results, just as a small fire makes a small amount of heat.” - Napoleon Hill

“You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment. You can make your life what you want it to be.” - Napoleon Hill

“A QUITTER NEVER WINS-AND-A WINNER NEVER QUITS.” - Napoleon Hill

There is no success without a successor

Title: Mentoring 101 

Author: John C. Maxwell

Genre: Self-Help, Leadership 

Pages: 96 

This book again was borrowed from my friend who also borrowed me Robert Kiyosaki's book. Ask your friends who read books, I'm sure they have some good books you can borrow. That is the way to save money on books. 

From this book I found out that, we not only need to raise ourselves up as leaders, but after we gained leadership skills and experiences, we should share them to our surrounding and raise people up too. Because true success should be celebrated together with your loved ones in success too. Below are nice quotes I got from the book. 

“We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give.” – Douglas M. Lawson

“Raising up others is the greatest joy in the world. You see, once people learn to fly, they’re capable of going just about anywhere. And sometimes when they’re flying high, they help you along too.” – John C. Maxwell 

“One of the great discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.” – Henry Ford 

“Ignore what a man desires and you ignore the very source of his power.” – Walter Lippmann 

Commitment is another name for success. 

See everyone you mentor as a “10.”
