"If you aspire to the higher planes of success in life,
you should become better acquainted with that great,
powerful positive self who lives in your body.
It can be the creator of all the joys you desire –
all the material riches you need for peace of mind and happiness.
It can keep your physical body free from ailments."
Napoleon Hill
"Wake Up and Meet You Positive Self"
Napoleon Hill, mentor of many for a "Positive Mental Attitude."
"....he achieved great success as an attorney and journalist. His early career as a reporter helped finance his way through law school. He was given an assignment to write a series of success stories of famous men, and his big break came when he was asked to interview steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie. Mr. Carnegie commissioned Hill to interview over 500 millionaires to find a success formula that could be used by the average person. These included Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Henry Ford, Elmer Gates, Charles M. Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, William Wrigley Jr, John Wanamaker, WIlliam Jennings Bryan, George Eastman, Woodrow Wilson, William H. Taft, John D. Rockefeller, F. W. Woolworth, Jennings Randolph, among others."
A biography of Napoleon Hill (1883-1970) - Founder of The Science of Success
The quote today is an example of Hill's motivational style; his belief that if you fill your mind with positive thoughts, and believe
"What the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve." Napoleon Hill

Hello Pati!
I've joined up with the Slice of Life gang again this year. I've missed the connection with the group and so I hopped over here to see if you are participating. Would love to hear more from you.
Congratulations on your new grandbabies!
