Frugality by Dr. Napolean Hill
10/25/2009 07:28:00 AMFrugality is one of the essentials of success. The habit of planned savings encourages frugality, makes it an established habit.
Every man is where he is, and what he is, because of the habits he has acquired. The man who lives up to the limit of his income, or beyond it, never is a free man. He is forever under bondage to others, and bondage is not a welcome circumstance. It is not part of the Creator’s purpose for man.
From here on each of us is under obligation to guard our individual sources and our time as efficiently as a well managed corporation manages its funds and the time of its employees.
If this obligation confuses or irritates some of us, let us take comfort from the fact that it will at least lead us into better habits of self-discipline. And let us recognize that we are approaching the interpretation of a rule of human conduct which is the hope of mankind because it holds the secret by which we may escape from the liabilities of this age of confusion and chaos through which we are passing.
Presentation of this great rule has been reserved as a fitting climax to the principles previously described. It rightly serves as a climax for the sixteen preceding principles because it is the principle which gives moral guidance in the use of the power which the first sixteen principles place into your hands.
Power is a dangerous thing in the hand of someone who does not recognize a moral obligation in its use. The history of mankind proves this.

Create, focus and take action
10/25/2009 05:59:00 AMThe reason is that in order to break out of earth's orbit, there is a certain speed to which I believe it is about 40225 kilometers per hour. If the satellite does not reached the critical speed, even though it is on course it won't break out of the earth's orbit. What happens then? The scientists blow it up so it won't fall back to earth, hurt people, and do any damage.
It is the same thing with our business and personal life. People need to create a critical speed in order to breakthrough to the next level. There is one way to do it. Take Action! Identify a period of time for instance a week or a month or six months or even a year. You commit yourself to have an extra-ordinary amount of action. It is not a pace you can keep up forever. Its purpose is to create breakthrough momentum.
Did you know that a small six-inch block of steel on the track could stop a train and that alone can prevent a train from moving even though it weighs 40 tons or more? Yet, that same train moving with a momentum of 50 miles per hour will run right through a tractor-trailer like it was paper.
Momentum can overcome many problems that would otherwise keep you stuck. It is more effective to focus on building momentum and letting momentum overcome the obstacle you face, rather than focusing directly on the obstacle.
I would like to share with you a story I read last night. A very interesting story I read from the world wide web. Based on a true story. Maybe you could get a bit of inspiration from it.
Its about a young man by the name of Glenn Cunningham. He used to run to the little country school-house every morning and start the wood stove. He loved to run more than anything else and with the money he earned, it helped his family.
One day a teacher and some students arrived and suddenly saw the school-house was surrounded in flames. The fuel oil which was use to start the fire had ignited the entire building. They pulled Glenn out of the inferno and rushed him to the hospital. He was badly burned and the doctors expected him to die within hours.
Then a miracle happened. Glenn survived. Everyone was amazed. Unfortunately he would never walk or run again. His legs were severely burned and damaged beyond repair. Everyday his mother would massage his shriveled legs with oil, to ease the pain and try to bring some life back into them. But there was no feeling, no movement, nothing.
In time, through his mother's constant care, Glenn developed enough strength to go outside on a wheel chair. One day, he threw himself from the chair and dragged his body across the yard, pulling himself up on the white picket fence. Hand over hand, picket by picket, he dragged himself along the fence. He was so determined that he would walk again. He never gave up. Everyday without fail, Glenn would drag himself all around the fence. He wore a path in the grass in the yard inside the fence.
Through his mother's massages and with truly extraordinary effort and iron will; Glen began to stand, then walk and finally to run. And not just to run, but to run faster than any human being had before!
For three years, from 1932 to 1934, he won the Big Six indoor track titles and was again at the Olympics in 1936 (he'd also competed in 1932). In 1938, Glenn Cunningham became the world's fastest runner as he set a new record at
By simply going outside, each day, every day on a wheel chair; Glenn was finally able to cast aside his circumstances and achieve greatness. Though it was nothing spectacular but it got the momentum going.
Here’s my 2 cents worth, “Create, focus and take action! Create a momentum. Then focus on building the momentum rather than directly overcoming an obstacle. Once you've built the momentum, take action."

10/10/2009 03:23:00 PMOne night, while waiting for Brian to come back from buying ice cream, Audrey gets tragic news delivered to her door by the local police: Brian has been killed in an attempt to defend a woman who was being beaten by her husband. On the day of the funeral Audrey realises that she has forgotten to inform Jerry of Brian's death. Her brother Neal delivers the message to Jerry and takes him to the funeral.
Audrey then decided to do something by helping a friend named Jerry. Audrey invites Jerry to move into the room adjacent to their garage, which he does. During his stay at the Burke home Jerry struggles to remain drug-free and also becomes very fond of Harper and Dory. The relationship between Jerry and Audrey is fragile and complicated. Jerry helps Audrey cope in many ways, including lying with her in bed to help her sleep. But Audrey, upset and confused, takes out her grief at Brian's death on Jerry. She becomes angry when Jerry helps Dory overcome his fear of submerging his head in the pool, as this had been something Brian had tried to do for years.
Eventually her rudeness to him causes Jerry to move out and relapse with heroin. Audrey and Neal rescue and rehabilitate him and he agrees to admit himself to a specialized clinic.
