Think more to create more?

Napoleon Hill's theory of success tells us that the correct way of thinking is the inevitable basis for success.

Therefore, if you want to succeed, you have to cultivate and have the correct way of thinking.

Dr. Emma Gates can turn this world into an ideal living space, which depends entirely on creative thinking.

Dr. Gates is a great American educator, philosopher, psychologist, scientist and inventor. He has made many inventions and discoveries in various arts and sciences in his life.

Dr. Gates' personal life experience shows that mental and physical exercises can cultivate a healthy body and promote mental flexibility.

Napoleon Hill went to visit Dr. Gates with a letter of introduction.

In front of Dr. Gates' laboratory, Napoleon Hill was stopped by the doctor's secretary, who told him, "I'm sorry ... I can't disturb Dr. Gates at this time."

Napoleon Hill asked, "How long will it take to see him?" The secretary replied, "I don't know, maybe it will take three hours."

Napoleon Hill continued to ask, "Would you please tell me why I can't disturb him?"

The secretary hesitated for a moment and then said, "Mr. Doctor is sitting in meditation."

"Oh-what's the special use of that?" Napoleon Hill wanted to know.

"It's better to ask Dr. Gates to explain this question himself! I really don't know how long it will take. If you are willing to wait, we are very welcome. If you want to come back later, I can keep an eye on it and see if I can make an appointment for you. " The secretary said respectfully.

Napoleon Hill decided to wait.

this decision is really worthwhile. Here is his description of what happened:

"When Dr. Gates opened the door of the reception room, his secret was introduced to us."

"I told him what his secretary said as a joke. After reading the letter of introduction, he said happily,' Don't you want to see my meditation place and know how I do it?' "

" Then he took me to a soundproof room, where there was only a simple table and a chair. On the table, there were some white books, some pencils and a button to turn on and off the light. "

"In our conversation, Dr. Gates said that whenever he was puzzled by difficulties, he would come to this room, shut the door, sit down, turn off the lights and concentrate on entering a deep state of concentration. In this way, he used the method of concentration and asked his subconscious mind to give him an answer, no matter what. Sometimes, inspiration seems to be delayed; Sometimes it seems to flood into his mind at once; Sometimes, it takes at least two or three hours to appear. When the idea began to clear up, he immediately turned on the light and wrote it down. "

Dr. Emma Gates once re-studied the invention that other inventors tried hard but failed, making it perfect, and thus obtained more than 2 patents. The secret of his success lies in being able to find out what is missing and perfect it.

Dr. Gates specially arranged time to concentrate on thinking and find another point. For this "other point", he knows exactly what he wants and takes action at once. So he succeeded.

from this point of view, the correct thinking method has great power. So how can we develop a correct way of thinking?

Napoleon Hill's theory of success tells you:

1. Cultivate the habit of paying attention to key points; 2. See the facts clearly; 3. Respect the truth; 4. We must correctly evaluate ourselves and others; 5. Be good at investing; 6. Be constructive.

the following is a detailed explanation of these six points.

You must cultivate the habit of paying attention to key points

The correct way of thinking needs to be based on two aspects, namely:

1. Facts must be separated from pure information;

2. facts must be divided into two kinds, important and unimportant, or related and irrelevant.

when you make unremitting impact on the goal, you should ensure that everything you use is critical and closely related, and what you don't use is useless.

Some people have neglected this phenomenon: people with almost the same opportunities and abilities have made great differences in their achievements.

You may guess why.

as long as you are diligent in looking for research, you will find that those who have made great achievements have developed a habit of using all the important facts that affect their work. In this way, they will work more easily and happily than the average person.

Because they have found the trick and know how to refine the important facts from the chaotic facts, they have found a fulcrum for their own lever, and they can move the heavy work weight that you can't move even with your whole body's strength with a flick of your little finger.

If a person can get into the habit of shifting his attention to important facts and build his success hall according to these important facts, he has gained a powerful power for himself, just like a big hammer that can hit 1 tons of power at once, instead of a small hammer with only 1 pound of power.

In order to make you understand the importance of distinguishing facts from pure information, Napoleon Hill suggested that you study people who do what they hear.

This kind of people are easily influenced by language. They accept all the news they read in the newspaper, and don't judge the good from the bad. Their judgment of others is based on the comments of their enemies, competitors and others.

You can find such a person among the friends you know, and take him as an example when discussing this topic.

Note that when such people begin to speak, they usually say "I read it in the newspaper" or "listen to them".

People who are discerning know that newspaper reports are not completely true and realistic, and they also know that what they say is usually more false news than correct news. If you have not surpassed the level of "I read it in the newspaper" and "they said", then you must work very hard to become a person with the right way of thinking.

Of course, many truths and facts are included in gossip and news reports. However, people with the right way of thinking will not accept everything they see or hear.

Only by seeing the facts clearly can you have a correct way of thinking

In the legal field, we all know that there is a law called "Evidence Law", and the purpose of making this law is to obtain the facts.

All judges can handle the case equally fairly to all people concerned, only if they can make a judgment based on the facts. But he may have wronged innocent people, as long as he deliberately avoids this "evidence law", for example, making judgments or conclusions based on hearsay news. "Evidence Law" is different according to the object and environment it uses. In the absence of known facts, if you can make assumptions, then only those evidences that can benefit you without hurting others are evidence based on facts.

as long as you judge by this part of the evidence, it must be correct. But in reality, there are also some people who mistakenly-he may or may not know-take the stakes of things as facts. They are willing to do something, or unwilling to do something, the only reason is whether they can satisfy their own interests, without considering whether it will hinder the rights and interests of others.

however regrettable, this is still a fact. Today, most people's ideas are based on interests.

They are law-abiding citizens when the facts are favorable to them. Once the facts are slightly unfavorable to them, they will find various reasons to excuse their crimes.

People with the right way of thinking set a set of standards to guide their actions.

He abides by this standard at any time, no matter whether it can bring him immediate benefits or occasionally bring him unfavorable situations, because he knows that in the end, this standard will eventually enable him to reach the peak of success and finally achieve the clear and main goals in life.

In this regard, the philosopher and international jurist Grotius put it this way: "All human things rotate on a wheel. Because of this special design, people who have no daughters can remain happy forever."

Therefore, you need to be mentally prepared. If you want to be a person with the right way of thinking, you must have a tenacious and firm character.

The right way of thinking is sometimes punished temporarily by some force. You need not deny this fact.

However, in the same way, you will be happy to accept this kind of punishment because the compensation you will get for thinking correctly is so huge in total.

in the process of pursuing facts, you will inevitably learn from the knowledge and experience of others. After collecting facts in this way, you must carefully check the evidence it provides and the person who provides it.

When the nature of evidence affects the interests of witnesses who provide evidence, we have reason to examine the evidence in more detail, because it is inevitable that witnesses who provide evidence to them will give in to money or other hostage or spiritual interests, so as to cover up or transform the evidence to protect this interest.

Only truth is immortal

Before you become a person with the right way of thinking, you must face up to and understand the fact that once a person takes the leadership position in any field, his opponents will start spreading "rumors" and gossiping. Attack him.

No matter how good a person's conduct is, no matter how outstanding his contribution to the world is, he can't escape these people's attacks, because these people prefer destruction to construction.

President Lincoln's political opponents spread rumors that he was living with a black woman. The political opponents of Washington, the first president of the United States, also spread similar rumors.

Because Lincoln and Washington are both southerners, those who make these rumors think that this is the most appropriate and lethal rumor they can imagine.

When President Wilson returned to the United States from Paris with a feasible plan to stop the war and settle international disputes peacefully, most people were influenced by hearsay reports, except those who had no mistakes in their thinking methods, and all thought that he was a combination of Nero (tyrant) and Judas (traitor).

The rumor monger killed Wilson-with vicious rumors.

They treated Lincoln the same way, and their behavior was even more heinous-encouraging a fanatic to end Lincoln's life early with a bullet.

you know, in the history of world civilization, there are many rumors about politicians?

people with the right way of thinking must guard against gossip attacks, and not only in politics.

as soon as a person starts to make a name for himself in the business world, these gossips will come to you immediately.

once someone makes a mousetrap better than his neighbor, people all over the world will flock to his door to congratulate him, which is certain. However, among these people who come to congratulate, there must be some people who come to condemn and destroy his reputation in the name of congratulations.

Patterson, the late president of National Cash Register Company, is a proof.

Paterson's cash register is far ahead of other products in all aspects, so "of course" has been ruthlessly hit. However, in the eyes of people with correct thinking methods, there is not a shred of evidence to support the vicious rumors spread by Patterson's competitors.

As for Wilson and Harding, we only need to look at Lincoln and Washington, who have gone down in history, to know what future generations will say about them.

Because of this, Napoleon Hill's theory of success tells you that only truth and facts can last forever, and the rest can't stand the test of time.

Evaluate others and yourself correctly

As a person with the right way of thinking, it is not only your power but also your responsibility to use facts.

The reason why many people fail and retreat is often because they overestimate their own abilities and underestimate their existing levels and abilities.

A person with the right way of thinking must be able to find out the advantages and disadvantages of himself and others just like an excellent athlete, because all people have different advantages and disadvantages at the same time. "I don't believe I can deceive others, because I know I can't deceive myself" can be your motto.

Rockefeller has one outstanding advantage, like a shining star, that is, he insists on taking facts as the basis of his business philosophy and is only used to dealing with facts that are really related to his lifelong career.

Some people say that Rockefeller is not completely fair to his opponent. This statement may be reasonable, but it may also be a misunderstanding. As people with correct thinking methods, we don't want to argue over this point.

However, no one (even his opponent) ever accused Rockefeller of "easily judging" or "underestimating" his opponent's strength. Not only can he see the fact closely related to his career at a glance, but he can see it at a glance whenever and wherever it appears. And he will take the initiative to look for them until he finds them.

If a person works firmly with facts, he will have self-confidence in his work, which will make him not hesitate or wait.

Because he knew in advance what his efforts would bring. Therefore, his work efficiency is higher than others, and his achievements will surpass others; Others, on the other hand, have to feel their way forward, because they are not sure whether what they are doing is really based on facts.

Constructive thinking can make you succeed

The correct thinking method, combined with tenacious efforts and enterprising spirit, can help a person achieve great achievements.

On the contrary, a negative and destructive attitude will ruin all your chances of success. In the long run, it will hurt your physical and mental health.

Data show that nearly 75% of all patients suffer from "depression". "Depression" is an abnormal state of mind, which will cause unnecessary troubles that are harmful to one's health.

In plain English, a "hypochondriac" means a person who believes that he is suffering from some imaginary disease. Moreover, usually these poor people are convinced that every disease they have heard of has been concentrated on themselves.

"Depression" is the beginning of all abnormal diseases.

The following is a story told by Napoleon Hill, which is not only interesting but also enlightening:

"I was going to teach and worship that day when someone suddenly told me that Bo Qian's wife invited me to her house. When I arrived at her home, the first thing I saw was Potter. He said to me,' If my wife dies, I will doubt the existence of God.' "

" I was surprised at what he said, and later I realized that it was his wife who had pneumonia, and the doctor had told her that she would not live. So she called her husband and two sons to the bed and said goodbye to them. Then she asked for me, her vicar. When I arrived at her home, I found the husband crying in the front hall, and the two sons were trying their best to comfort him.
