Desire as a Definite Aim in Life 
 Do not underestimate the value of this due to its 
simplicity. 
 You need to set an objective before you can achieve it. 
 Not having a solid aim to focus on cannot possibly get 
you to it. 
 You have to know what you want so that you can start 
receiving it.
Self Confidence 
 Believe that you are worthy of success and that you can 
attain it. 
 Without this simple understanding truly understanding it 
you will probably get nowhere with most of your goals. 
 If you are not confident, then you cannot sell yourself in 
life.
Initiative 
 Addresses the importance of leadership skill. Here, hill 
acknowledge the penalties of leadership. 
 Leaders are not always spoken of sweetly. This should 
not deter you from becoming a leader. It is only genius 
“that attracts the attention of critics”. 
 Nobody bothers slandering a person who isn’t 
somewhere near the upper rings of the ladder of 
success.
Imagination 
 Dream, and use your imagination to help lead you to the 
attainment of your goals. 
 The making good decision comes with use, and your 
intuition will always lead you toward your dream. 
 Dreams and actions are closely related.
Enthusiasm 
 Enthusiasm compels you to act. Mix enthusiasm with your 
work- does something you are enthusiastic about- and you 
will not get tired nearly as quickly. 
 Hill explains the things that can contribute to enthusiasm, 
one being to wear nice clothes. Basically, if you look like a 
million bucks, you'll feel like a million bucks, and you will 
likely find yourself around a million bucks. 
 The opposite is also true, and this is to be avoided. Feel 
good about your appearance, because it also affects the first 
impression of you on others who can be instrumental in your 
path to success.
Self Control 
 Auto suggestion is like reprogramming your subconscious 
mind to believe what you want it to believe- to replace 
your old beliefs with new ones that will serve you better. 
This takes self control. 
 Have you ever tried to change a habit? It makes sense. 
When you take control over the thoughts you are thinking, 
then you can take control of your success. Make these 
thoughts the ones you want to believe, and See yourself 
the way you want to see you.
Habit of Performing More Than Paid For 
 If you are going to whine about your work, then you are 
not going anywhere. 
 Do the work you have in front of you, then ask what else 
you may do. By doing this, you make yourself valuable, 
and you will surely reach a point where you are being 
paid handsomely. 
 Valuable employees are... valuable. This is also an 
especially true when you are working for yourself.
Attractive Personality 
 Have one. 
 Don't point things out on people, don't hang your 
head and say "I’m tired". 
 Mediocrity does not care if you are pleasant or not. 
Success does. 
Accurate Thought 
• Sort "facts" from "information", and use auto-suggestion 
in conjunction with focused thoughts.
Concentration 
 "Concentration is the act of focusing the mind upon a 
given desire until ways and means for its realization 
have been worked out and successfully put into 
operation". That about covers it !! 
Persistence 
• It is simply habit of completing everything one begins, 
first having learn what to begin and what not to begin
Learning from Failure 
 Yes! Fail, and be happy that it is bringing you one step 
closer to success. 
 Failure is inevitable, and it is a great step towards the right 
direction. 
 Replace "failure" with "temporary defeat".
Tolerance 
 Don't practice prejudice or racism. It is ignorance, and it 
is a barrier to success. 
 Just see the best in people and situations, and focus only 
on your goal and the good for all. 
Applying The Golden Rule 
• "Do unto others as you wish them to do unto you." 
• Also, "Think of others as you wish them to think of 
you."
SUCCESS 
 Success - A few have achieved it, everybody wants to 
achieve it. 
 You wish to succeed. It can do you no harm to know that 
your success must come through the aid of your own 
mind; especially the imaginative section of your mind 
wherein you build definite plans for the guidance of 
your physical activities. 
 This book unravels the difficulties and obstacles 
encountered during the journey on the Road to Success
LEADERSHIP 
 Leadership is something which seldom comes by 
invitation. It is something which you must invite yourself 
into. In every business there is a fine opening for a first-class 
leader. But, he must be a man who is willing to do 
the thing that ought to be done without someone telling 
him to do it. 
 Leadership means responsibilities, but the most profitable 
work usually is that which shoulders the greatest 
responsibility on a man.
LEADERSHIP 
 Leadership should become a habit and the leader with 
humility becomes the powerful man of action and he is 
then sought for greater leadership. 
 Leadership is a privilege and anybody can be a leader 
by merely doing the thing that ought to be done whether 
you are told to do it or not; whether it is your job to do 
it or not; whether you are paid for it or not!
THE POWER OF EXTENDED VISION 
 Many of our mistakes worked a temporary hardship on 
others, and all of them worked an immediate hardship 
on us, but these mistakes and failures were profitable, 
because every one of them caused us to climb up out of 
the debris of the failure itself with a broader and more 
extended vision than we had before. 
 The power of extended vision is the only power on 
earth, which will help a person to climb out of the rut of 
mediocrity in any walk of life.
THE POWER OF EXTENDED VISION 
 The power of extended vision is something which 
everyone must cultivate because the happy, contented 
workmen usually are a mere reflection of the disposition 
of the head of the works. 
 We are forced to the conclusion that the ability to extend 
one’s vision except more of one’s self is not only a 
desirable quality, but a necessary one!
Conclusion 
 For this teach us life is made up of one long facing of 
decision-of deciding promptly or letting the opportunity 
pass. use your self right think well of yourself, work 
hard, yourself controlling power and the willingness to 
assume heavy responsibilities. Its also learn habit of 
performing more work and better than you are paid to 
perform. Some accurate decision for success fundas. 
 And last, we are forced to the conclusion that the ability 
to extend one’s vision and expect more of one’s self is 
not only a desirable quality, but a necessary one.
