Good News, Good Day, is written by a dumb person, myself, trying to learn smart things, and sharing his findings with the world.

I don’t claim to be smart or correct and I’m not trying to tell anyone how to live. I’m just trying to figure out how to live. By speaking openly and honestly, I can later reflect on the things that don’t align with my desired character and improve them.

I would like to apologise if my words cause any inconvenience to anyone.

The intention is the opposite. If only we can discuss things openly.

Moving On.

Today I have for you the King of Self Help Napoleon Hill.

I was introduced to Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow, Rich” by my Uncle Gregory as a teenager, and it’s message has stuck with me ever since.

This book teaches Self Discipline, Teamwork, Perseverance, Visualization, Self Belief, and many more essential qualities. It is definitely in my Top 5 Recommendations.

So without further hesitation,

Here are 8 of my favourite quotes by Napoleon Hill,

Let us Share.

1. “Set your mind on a definite goal and observe how quickly the world stands aside to let you pass.”

2. “The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.”

3. “Self-disciplinestarts with mastery of your thoughts.”

4. “Youare the master of your destiny.”

5. “Every failure carries the equivalent or greater benefit.”

6. “The only limit is in your mind.”

7. “Whatever the mind can conceive, it can achieve.”

8. “One sound idea is all you need for success.”

There are eight of my favourite Napoleon Hill quotes.

Which one do you like best?

I’d like to talk about quote #2;

“The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.”

I think success is found on the journey rather than at the destination. The journey is where we spend most of our time, and once we reach our goals , we should instantly be searching for new goals. Progress. Allow me to explain it with a sports metaphor.

A soccer team is made up of 11 hard working individuals and a coach.

The team trains, strategizes and competes to win.

If the team has put in the required work to overcome the opposing team, it will result in a goal. Once the first goal is scored, the team must regroup, re-strategize and start again. This must last for the duration of the match.

I think this resembles life. Whether we have 90 minutes or 90 years to achieve our goals, we must train, strategize and compete. What matters in life isn’t  just the 90 minutes of competing, that’s only 10% of the work.
