Hey, what's up BN folks....

Mike Morgan here, and I wanted to share with everyone that I'm RE-reading Think & Grow Rich. I'm sure most everyone here has read this book - and if you haven't GO READ IT NOW...!!!!

Just like the first time I read it, new ideas are popping in my mind....and I'm strengthening my thoughts....we all know our thoughts control our reality......(right?)....anyway....

What is your most memorable or most favorite part of Think & Grow Rich?

I have so many parts that I couldn't pick - so I'll just post a sentence I just read.

"Thoughts which are mixed with any of the feelings of emotions constitute a 'magnetic' force which attracts other similar or related thoughts."

Man you sure ask a hard question.

Picking the best part of "Think and Grow Rich" would be loke picking the best Gold Bar out of a bushel basket.

Now I'll have to read it again and see if I can find a favorite part.

The last sentence on the last page.

Why, because it's T&G is so blasted difficult to understand!

And before the world jumps on me - I was doing 6 figures when I read it. There are many other more useful PD books one needs to internalize first.

Yep, I know it's promoted as being better than sliced bread - but it's NOT for beginners.

KISS (Keep it simple stupid) is a good principle.

Anything that the mind can conceive, and believe, it can achieve.

Understanding and applying that sentence will be the difference between success or failure in everything. Whether or not someone even understands it in those terms, all successful people apply it in one form or another.

Sorry it took so long to reply guys....my email isn't alerting me of your post.

If anybody were to take the time to read some of my (GREAT) material I've wrote here at BN, you'd know that I received a copy of "Think & Grow Rich" back in 2003. 1 year after High School. So Allan your right, it's not for beginners. It's for people READY to make that change. And yea - change is hard.

I've started to post quotes in my BN Blog - so you could read a sentence or two and get inspired on the go. (so to say).

Since this is my 2nd time reading the book - NOW when a sentence sticks out I place a star by it. So here's one of them....

"We see men who have accumulated great fortunes, but we often recognize only their triumph, overlooking the temporary defeats which they had to surmount before "arriving".

Hey Mike

Think & Grow Rich as we all know is a great book. I have the audio-book which I listen to every 2 months or there abouts.

I love "Chapter 2 - Desire". This chapter really hits a nerve with me and raises my motivation levels.

Hi Mike this is amazing, I have just this minute walked in the house and turned on the computer and your posting was the first one that I saw. The amazing thing is that I have just got back from Barnes and Nobles where I bought a leather bound book called.....Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill.
Another strange thing is that I have never really read it...but on the way home (my wife was driving) I opened the book to glance inside and the first thing that I saw was page 307 :

The "depression" was a blessing in disguise. It reduced the whole
world to a new starting point that gives every one a new opportunity.

So I can honestly say that that is the only part of 'Think and Grow Rich' that I have read. But it could almost have been written yesterday. An excellent post, thanks Mike and all contributors.

My favorite part of Think and Grow Rich is how thoughts that are consistently fed into the subconscious mind will become reality through the physical. It doesn't matter if they're positive or negative, it will only make that thought magnify. That's why people need to hang out with positive people who share the same interest.

Reading the entire book gives people a reason to do what they set out to do and have the proper mindset to get past all the negative thoughts people have. They don't remember a certain quote or anything like that they just know that they have made a decision to create whatever they want in life without ever turning back. They know it's out there just waiting for them. Just facts in this book, no hype.

Hi Mike,
I literally signed on to the BN forum about 10 minutes ago, saw your question and read some of the responses. My favourite part was reading all about putting one's goal to paper.Which is exactly what I did,and after following the instructions ,to recite it aloud every morning and evening for a few days, I woke up one morning, and I swear, the first thing that popped into my mind was my life's goal. It was as if someone was reading it back to me. From then on I have become a true believer of the fact that one can "program" one's sub-concious mind to anything one desires. I am really going to enjoy this new found BN forum.

I agree with Dwayne that the chapter 'DESIRE' is great. I also like the chapter on "ORGANIZED PLANNING".

A trick to that book is you have to read it more than once.The great Network marketer Jett once said that he read 'Think and Grow Rich' 500 times!
