Think And Grow Rich

What are the big ideas?

1. The Master Mind Principle: This book introduces the concept of the "Master Mind," which is a coordination of efforts between individuals towards a common goal. It emphasizes that power and knowledge are multiplied when two or more people work together in harmony. The economic and psychic benefits of this principle can lead to financial and personal success.
2. Thoughts Transmit Through the Ether: In this book, the author introduces the idea that every human brain functions as both a broadcasting and receiving station for thoughts through the ether. Emotions, particularly sex, can increase the rate of vibration of thoughts, making them more receptive to ideas from the ether. This concept is unique in its explanation of how thoughts and emotions can influence each other and be transmitted between individuals.
3. The Power of Desire: The author emphasizes that desire is a powerful starting point for using your mental broadcasting station, which includes the subconscious mind, Creative Imagination, and auto-suggestion. Desire plays an essential role in influencing the subconscious mind to transform thoughts into their physical or monetary equivalent.
4. The Six Ghosts of Fear: This book introduces the concept of the "Six Ghosts of Fear," which are common fears that cause discouragement, timidity, procrastination, indifference, indecision, and lack of ambition. These fears exist only in one's mind and can be as dangerous as if they lived and walked on the earth in physical bodies. The author provides techniques for mastering fear, such as visualization, affirmations, positive thinking, and action.
5. Building Alibis: The author emphasizes that people who do not succeed have one common trait: they have alibis for their lack of achievement. Building alibis is a national pastime and fatal to success. Instead of providing generic advice on overcoming obstacles, this book specifically highlights the dangers of making excuses or building alibis as a way to avoid taking responsibility for personal growth and success. The author encourages readers to identify specific fears that are holding them back and provides practical techniques for mastering those fears instead.

“Before success comes in any man’s life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and, perhaps, some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit.

Quotes

“To win the big stakes in this changed world, you must catch the spirit of the great pioneers of the past, whose dreams have given to civilization all that it has of value, the spirit that serves as the life-blood of our own country – your opportunity and mine, to develop and market our talents.”

“The oak sleeps in the acorn. The bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of reality.”

“Awake,arise,and assert yourself,you dreamers of the world. Your star is now in ascendancy.”

“Remember,too,that all who succeed in life get off to a bad start,and pass through many heartbreaking struggles before they "arrive". The turning point in the lives of those who succeed usually comes at some moment of crisis,through which they are introduced to their "other selves".”

“Disappointment over love affairs generally has the effect of driving men to drink, and women to ruin; and this, because most people never learn the art of transmuting their strongest emotions into dreams of a constructive nature.”

“A quitter never wins-and-a winner never quits.”

• Monopolies versus expansion: Schwab argued against creating monopolies for the purpose of raising prices and instead advocated for expanding the market by cheapening the cost of steel, thus capturing a larger share of the world trade.
• The role of imagination and specialization: Schwab's ideas focused on reorganization for efficiency, economies in traffic and administration, and capturing foreign markets through the concept of mass production.
• Overcoming limitations: The creation of United States Steel Corporation serves as an example that there are no inherent limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.

Quotes

“Every man is what he is, because of the DOMI­NATING THOUGHTS which he permits to occupy his mind.”

“Every man is what he is, because of the dominating thoughts which he permits to occupy his mind.”

“Let us consider the power of FAITH, as it is now being demonstrated, by a man who is well known to all of civilization, Mahatma Gandhi, of India. In this man the world has one of the most astounding examples known to civilization, of the possibilities of FAITH. Gandhi wields more potential power than any man living at this time, and this, despite the fact that he has none of the orthodox tools of power, such as money, battle ships, soldiers, and materials of warfare. Gandhi has no money, he has no home, he does not own a suit of clothes, but HE DOES HAVE POWER. How does he come by that power? HE CREATED IT OUT OF HIS UNDERSTANDING OF THE PRINCIPLE OF FAITH, AND THROUGH HIS ABILITY TO TRANSPLANT THAT FAITH INTO THE MINDS OF TWO HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE. Gandhi has accomplished, through the influence of FAITH, that which the strongest military power on earth could not, and never will accomplish through soldiers and military equipment. He has accomplished the astounding feat of INFLUENCING two hundred million minds to COALESCE AND MOVE IN UNISON, AS A SINGLE MIND. What other force on earth, except FAITH could do as much? There will come a day when employees as well as employers will discover the possibilities of FAITH. That day is dawning. The whole world has had ample opportunity, during the recent business depression, to witness what the LACK OF FAITH will do to business.”

“Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous.
