In this case, y our Net worth at the end of this life will not be calculated or measured by the material possessions you acquired or how much money you stored up.

  1. I really like Napoleon Hill, I have read several of his books. Ambition is a lot of times looked down upon because it can push people to step on others to achieve their own goals. While there is definitely a dark side to ambition, without it greatness would never be achieved by anyone. There would be no IPhone, space program or anything that is truly excellent. I really like all the quotes you compiled, my favorite is “Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.”

    1. Al., thank you very much for the excellent contribution you’ve added. Highly appreciate you. Napoleon Hill was a great thinker. His teachings and wisdom continue as they are timeless. I’m glad to know that you’ve read several of his books. That’s remarkable, you must be an avid reader.
