Napoleon Hill Biography

Napoleon Hill
“Plans are inert and useless
without sufficient power to translate them into action.”
–Napoleon Hill
Napoleon Hill was born into poverty in 1883 in a small one-room cabin in Virginia. He began his writing career as a journalist for a small town newspaper and worked his way through law school.  He became a respected attorney and a best-selling writer on the principles of success.
In his capacity as a journalist, he became acquainted with steel magnate, Andrew Carnegie, a meeting that gave new direction to Napoleon’s life.  Carnegie challenged Hill to interview the greatest business minds, the most successful leaders of his day, in order to discover the common elements or principles of success.  Napoleon took on the challenge and began to research and explore.  He found that many of the top performers had a similar way of thinking and then acting, which contributed to their superior achievement.  He compiled his results into several books, notably Think and Grow Rich and The Law of Success, which became best-selling classics.
Many thousands credit Napoleon Hill’s book Think and Grow Rich as the beginning foundation of their financial and personal success. Hill passed away in November 1970 after a long and successful career writing, teaching, and lecturing about the principles of success. His work stands as a monument to individual achievement and is a cornerstone of modern motivation.
Millions of people continue to learn from his life-changing books and audio programs.

Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It looked like it had gotten as far as it could, so the man decided to help the butterfly. He used his pocketknife and snipped the remaining bit of the cocoon. The butterfly then emerged easily, but something was strange. The butterfly had a swollen body and shriveled wings. The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected at any moment the wings would enlarge and expand to be able to support the body, which would contract in time. Neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling around with a swollen body and deformed wings. It was never able to fly. What the man in his kindness and haste did not understand was that the restricting cocoon and the struggle required for the butterfly to emerge was natural...
