Notes

Wealth should never be your goal in life. The wealth is of the heart, not the purse. Do not aspire for wealth and labour only to be rich. Strive instead for happiness, to be loved and to love and most important, to acquire peace of mind and serenity

Rewards are great is one succeeds but the rewards are only great because few succeed. Many succumb to despair and failure without realizing they already possess the tools of great wealth

Never feel shame for trying and failing because he who has never failed is he who has never tried

Failure will never overtake you if your determination to succeed is strong enough

1st law: good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure. Form good habits and become their slave

2nd: greet every day with love in your heart

3rd law: I will persist until I succeed

• Prizes of life are at the end of each journey, not near the beginning and it is not known how many steps are necessary to reach my goal so keep persisting
• Never allow yesterday’s success to lul me into today’s complacency for this is the great foundation of failure

4th: I am nature’s greatest miracle

5th: I will love this day as if it were my last

• Yesterday is buried forever and think of it no more
• Tomorrow is buried with yesterday and think of it no more

6th: I will be the master of my emotions:

• Weak is he who permits his thoughts to control his actions; strong is her who forces his actions to control his thoughts

7th: I will laugh at the world

• I will laugh and my life will be lengthened for this is the greatest secret of a long life
• I will laugh at myself for man is most comical when he takes himself to seriously
• 4 greatest words to carry me thought life and adversity - this too shall pass

8th: I will multiple my value 100 fold

• Let others build a cave with their clay. I will build a castle with mine
• I will always announce my goals to the world yet never will I proclaim my accomplishments

9th: Act now

10th: pray and lookd to god
