Napoleon HillNapoleon Hill was born of humble beginnings in 1883 in West Virginia. Early on he became a journalist for Bob Taylor’s Magazine, which led to his meeting and interviewing the famous steel industrialist, Andrew Carnegie. This meeting was pivotal in focusing his life’s work on distilling the elements for achievement in highly successful people. He became the personal advisor to President Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933-1936. He has been quoted to say: “What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” You will find many of the principles he advocates useful in your safe-options-trading...and in your life’s journey in total. He referred to his personal success findings as “The Philosophy of Achievement”. These are elucidated in perhaps his two best known titles: Think and Grow Rich and The Magic Ladder to Success. In these books you will find the lessons for success he learned from the likes of Abraham Lincoln, Henry Ford, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie, George Bernard Shaw, William Randolph Hearst and Theodore Roosevelt, among many others. The role of the mind in tapping into a “Master Mind” of universal knowledge is an important part of Hill’s philosophy for success. He details the “Seventeen Principles of the Law of Success”, which include such notable character traits as Having a Definite Aim, Self-Confidence, Enthusiasm, Self-Control, and Profiting from Failure ... to name a few that are most applicable to successful trading. The books are easy to read, relatively inexpensive and extremely practical. Despite the fact that the original editions were written in the early part of the last century, they have been extensively updated and are highly applicable today.
