Think, And Grow Rich
Posted on February 3rd, 2008 in money insight, myreview |
I can consider myself as one who likes to read. Although not an avid reader in the true sense of the words, you can find me to be always in the process of reading one book or another.
Right now I’m reading three books — The Brethren by John Grisham, Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill and 6 Figure Freelancer by David Drake.
Think and grow rich
Think and Grow Rich comes as a bonus along with two other e-books when I downloaded the 6 Figure Freelancer for US$37 with funds from my PayPal account.
I guess you can buy the book from most bookshops but you’ll get it for free with the 6 Figure Freelancer ebook. It comes in 235-page PDF document which you can either print out or just leave it on your computer.
Better to read it with RapidReader 6 software
I prefer to leave it as a PDF file on my computer and save a back-up copy on a CD.
You see, it’s one thing about reading pages of document with your naked eyes on the computer screen or on printed papers.
But it’s another to read them with RapidReader 6 software — you can download the software, it’s free — in that the words will just appear on the screen in quick succession that they seem like bullets shooting right into your brain and hit the right nerve to get you all charged up.
A true classic
I’ve done reading the first three chapters on my laptop using RapidReader 6 sofware and what struck me so far is the truthfulness of — and how utterly believeable all — the points raised by the author about how to be successful in life.
In my intial reading of the document I came across one of the most powerful statements I’ve ever come across about being successful; if money is your measure of success, that is.
Hill had the wisdom of adding this statement much early in the book: “When riches begin to come they come so quickly, in such great abundance, that one wonders where they have been hiding during all those lean years“.
Curious book
The book is also curious in its own right. Written and published in 1937 soon after the Great Recession in the United States, you’d be inclined to be sceptical about what you — the modern day Internet-savvy generation — can achieve by reading an old book.
I’m sceptical too but I’m already beginning to be awed by the fact that a book written 70 years ago can still evoke powerful emotion talking about how by thinking rich you can become one.
