One Step Beyond Your Failure

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

Napoleon Hill.

Steve Jobs

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Your Big Opportunity

"Your big opportunity may be right where you are now."

Napoleon Hill

Robert Rodriguez

The moment you think about that you want to be a fillm-maker you're that. Make yourself a business card that says you're a film-maker, pass them out to your friends, soon as you get that over with and you've got it in your mind that you're one you'll be one, you'll start thinking like one. Don't dream about being a film-maker, you are a film-maker. Stop aspiring, start doing.

See you in Hollywood - be scary!

Born poor? Wonderful!

BORN POOR? WONDERFUL! by Napoleon Hill

You were born poor? Wonderful! So were Abraham Lincoln, and Thomas Edison, and Andrew Carnegie, and Henry Ford.You have something in common with the truly great! Had you been born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you would have been deprived of the opportunity to make yourself strong and resourceful through the necessity for struggle. For struggle—as the biologists, sociologists, philosophers, and historians know—is the prime way of life. It’s nature’s system of sorting out the strong from the weak, of making sure that Man, as well as the animals and plants is constantly improved. In that sense, it is the will of the Creator driving us toward perfection. Anyone can overcome poverty through determination and faith. Sure, the fight will be a hard one. But the rewards will be so much more appreciable. Your attitude will have a strong bearing, however, on how hard the struggle will be. Accept it as a challenge, rather than a curse, and you find the fight much easier. There is no obstacle that can prevent you from achieving financial success if you approach it with a positive mental attitude, with the full knowledge that any stumbling block can be turned into a stepping stone to greater heights of achievement. Is lack of education holding you back? There are night schools, adult education classes, public libraries, and correspondence courses—all available at little or no cost—that can help you win an education quickly. Do you suffer from a physical handicap? Your city, county, and state have rehabilitation centers which will minimize the disability or impediment and help you realize your dreams of achievement.
All things are possible for the person with determination and courage. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with but a single step. Only you can take that first step. Decide now, this instant, on exactly what you want to achieve. Write down the goal. Commit it to memory. Keep it always before you. Then map out step-by-step the exact course you plan to follow in making it come true. Once you have done this, you are ready to take that first step toward success. You cannot, however, ever expect to stumble your way to a higher station in life. You must have a purpose and a plan, plus the determination to carry them to fruition.

Remember, none of us is doomed to permanent poverty. Unless we doom ourselves.

IF by Rudyard Kipling

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream--and not make dreams your master,
If you can think--and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it all on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings--nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much,
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And--which is more--you'll be a Man, my son!

Aristotle Onassis

The secret of business is to be the only one in possession of certain information.

Picture of Yourself

"Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your mind's eye, and you will be drawn toward it." Napoleon Hill.
