Write Down And Read Goals
- Think and Grow Rich is a classic motivational book.
- Written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie, it was published in 1937 at the end of the Great Depression.
- In his introduction, Hill refers to the "Carnegie Secret", a conception which he reports is the foundation of all success and appears to be the premise of the book.
- Hill promises to indirectly describe this "secret" in every chapter, but never state it plainly, believing the use of the secret is only available to those who possess a "readiness" for it, a disposition Hill describes as essential to the concept itself.

Don't Criticize Or Condemn
"Don't criticize, condemn, or complain." - Dale Carnegie
- Criticism is futile because it puts a person on the defensive and usually makes him strive to justify himself.
- Criticism is dangerous, because it wounds a person's precious pride, hurts his sense of importance, and arouses resentment.
- Instead of condemning people, let's try to understand them.
- Let's try to figure out why they do what they do.
- That's a lot more profitable and intriguing than criticism; and it breeds sympathy, tolerance and kindness.
- "To know all is to forgive all."
Have A Growth Mindset
Have a growth mindset by believing that you can grow, learn new things, improve your skills and knowledge, and realizing that temporary and recurring failure are a necessary part of learning and growing.
- Dweck, like many adults, had learned to hide her frustration and anger, to politely say "I'm not sure I want to play this anymore" instead of knocking over the board.
- She figured the successful kids would be the same - they’d have tactics for coping with failure instead of getting beaten down by it.
- But what she found was radically different.
- The successful kids didn’t just live with failure, they loved it!
- When the going got tough, they didn’t start blaming themselves; they licked their lips and said "I love a challenge."
- They’d say stuff like "The harder it gets the harder I need to try."

Want What You Get
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get. - Dale Carnegie
