1. Ahead of any other requirement is your personal motivation. If you want ‘it’, you may have ‘it’ (whatever ‘it’ is) if you will do sufficient of the right things. But without burning desire, neither capacity nor psychological result of perception learning and reasoning will get you what you want.
2. If your level of ‘want’ is high enough, the next step is action. Thinking without doing won’t achieve what you long for. Action genuinely is the key.
3. Use Pareto’s Principle to choose how to use your time. 80% of our actions do not bestow to achieving our goals, 20% do. So discern the ‘thieves of time’ and reduce them so that you don’t find yourself saying, ‘If only I had more time’. Remember, successful or not, every one gets only 24 hours a day. It’s what you choose to do in that amount of time that determines your outcomes.
4. Many goals intended to be attained cannot be reached without concentrated effort, so focus your energies. Massive action will achieve massive results. Diffused attempts leave you with a discouraging array of uncompleted projects.
5. Develop a convinced persona. Others will respect your views and counsel if you deliver them with confidence; a diffident manner invites disbelief.
6. Establish yourself as an expert in your field. Become an author, write articles and reports, post them on the internet, give talks on your topic. As an expert you have believability and influence.
7. There is a challenge which comes with increasing authority and success, you ought to always be alert for arrogance. It is insidious and damaging. The veritably great are modest with it. When you recognise a lot, you grasp that it’s genuinely only a very little.
8. Treat everyone with respect. Every single person on this planet knows more in regards to something than you do. Respect generates respect. Arrogance does the opposite.
9. Listen actively. Don’t just wait for your chance to talk, listen what other persons are saying and attune yourself to the emotion behind the words. This is how empathy is generated. It’s a thousand times having little impact to obtain what you want when empathy is working with you.
10. Sometimes your ideas are going to turn out to be wrong. Accept that this may happen, learn what you may from the experience and then move on. Sincere faith that you are right does not mean that you are. Even Albert Einstein had to face this truth.
11. Build your ‘sales’ skills. If you can not make a convincing case for your ideas, you are doomed to a life of implementing those of other people.
12. Give your plans a ‘reality check’ early on. Try and trade the idea to someone, you’ll quickly learn what the constraints are. The real world feedback will grant you to adjust and focus your concept.

 Excellent Restatement of Napoleon Hill’s Work on Success
By Professor Donald Mitchell
The Twelve Universal Laws of Success is not explicitly derived from Napoleon Hill’s general works . . . but it is distinctly an intellectual heir of that work. If you liked Mr. Hill’s work, you will probably receive pleasure from this book very much. If you do not recognise Mr. Hill’s work, you could do worse than to start out with this book rather of Mr. Hill’s books.
Although almost everyone admires Napoleon Hill’s work on the requisites for being successful, most will agree that he was always more or less opaque in describing what he had learned. His later books are clearer, but not crystal clear. For that reason, I’m always pleased when an individual connects the dots better on the same subject. The Twelve Universal Laws of Success is such a book. I am very glad I read it. Mr. Herbert Harris does rather a remarkable occupation of combining the perspectives of physical science, psychology and dissimilar religions to provide a very clear view of how to lead a life directed towards worthy goals that you achieve. Those who are Christians will find strength in his use of a great deal of Biblical quotations.
As I read the twelve laws, I occasionally felt like I was being taken on a tour around a statue. By seeing more perspectives, I could grasp the holism of the statue much better . . . or in this case, what is required for success. So don’t be astonished at what will seem like a little redundancy in the rules. Some of them are genuinely axioms of other rules . . . but ones that you might not have figured out on your own. For example, the law of alter is an axiom of the law of thought.
The material is well organized. The book begins with much helpful background information, including how to study any new subject or book. Now, that’s getting down to brass tacks! Each law then has it is own chapter, and you will find chapter sumups and study guides at the end of each. If you utilize yourself to the study guides, you gain from the book will be enormous. That’s one of the some improvements over Napoleon Hill in the book.
I likewise liked the way that Mr. Harris was careful to explain what his words and conceptions mean. Success is “the continuous realization of the outcomes or results you desire.” He likewise conservatively describes the conscious, subconscious and superconscious minds.
The laws themselves are ones that most people will recognize from their own experiences and religious studies. Here are a few examples of the laws summarized (see pages 181-183 for the whole list):
The Universal Law of Thought (“You become what you think when it comes to most of the time.”)
The Universal Law of Change (“You modify your life by altering your thinking.”)
The Universal Law of Relationships (“Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”).
I particularly liked his counsel for how to end your day. Ask yourself, “Did I do everything I could do today to make tomorrow the way I want it to be?” He inspires you to live each day so that you may earnestly answer, “Yes, I did everything I could, with all I had to do it with!”
Mr. Herbert proposes that this book will be of most support to those who are having somewhat good results in their own lives . . . but need to fine-tune what they are doing. He likewise proposes the book for those who are just starting out on their own as young adults. Although he does not mention it, I likewise think this book could be a life saver for those whose lives have crashed and burned in a good deal of rudimentary way . . . and want to clean up their act.
As I finished the book, I was again reminded of the value of setting and carrying out or participate in suitable goals for ourselves. We may each do outstanding things . . . if only we focus on doing so!
