History, The Power of Thought and The Secret

Inspired by Andrew Carnegie, Napoleon Hill wrote the book Think and Grow Rich in 1947. In it he disclosed the secret formula that brought Andrew Carnegie his huge fortune; a formula that Mr. Carnegie thought should be shared; taught in public schools and colleges because if it was properly taught it would so revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be cut in half.

The formula or the secret Mr.Hill described rested on the power of thought. Sound familiar? The essence of the secret formula according Napoleon Hill is: Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve ....another way of saying ask, believe and receive ?

Moreover, he reiterates this belief in the power of the mind when he says, Study the record of any man who achieves noteworthy success, and you will observe that he has control over his own mind, moreover that he exercises that control and directs it to the attainment of definite objectives. Without this control, success is not possible.

You either control your mind or it controls you. Is this not conscious and deliberate living ?
