I have a dream… to instill the principles of success into children through fun and games.

Since discovering the teachings of Napoleon Hill I have begun to change my life for the better. It amazes me that for most of my life I have never heard of Mr. Hill. From my parents, school, family, friends, neighbors, college, etc, I don’t recall anyone ever mentioning Think and Grow Rich or Napoleon.

Millions of copies of his book Think and Grow Rich has been sold and is attributed by many millionaires as the primary source for their success. It has been translated into many languages. Many corporations have purchased thousands of copies to give to employees and have seen huge profits as a result.

Napoleon’s original work The Law of Success (which TGR was derived from) is a complete course on success which is based on Napoleon’s 25 years of business and professional experience and research. One of the original copies of the manuscripts was submitted to a prominent university with the request it to be read by a competent professor with the object of eliminating or correcting any statements that appeared to be unsound. The manuscripts were carefully examined, with the result that not a single change was made with the exception of one or two slight changes in wording.

Here is a statement that this professor prepared:

“It is a tragedy that every boy and girl who enters high school is not efficiently drilled on the fifteen major parts of your Reading Course on the Law of Success. It is regrettable that the great university with which I am connected, and every other university, does not include your course as part of its curriculum”

Even before reading this statement in The Law of Success I had chosen this as my definite major purpose in life. I want to get the principles of success instilled into children through TV shows, games, books, etc.

I’m particularly interested in Napoleon’s success principles because they’re about life riches, not just monetary riches. True richness is not determined by the amount of money in your bank account. True richness comes from having a healthy body, a healthy mind, a loving home, and financially security. Notice I put financially security at the end of that list. Money, although very important to overall happiness, is not the driving force behind true richness. There are many financially rich men/women in this world that are very miserable.

I believe in the benefits of these principles and know if they were taught to children from an early age it will prove to benefit them for their entire life. This is my dream, my goal, my definite major purpose in life.
