this stuff had been know for ages but we think Hill was the first to write it in his book TAGR

this is not the case.

form of a definite formula, as follows:
“The Master Formula of Attainment con
sists of five elements: I. Definite Ideals. II.
Insistent Desire. III. Confident Expectation.
IV. Persistent Determination. V. Balanced
Compensation.”
Reduced to popular terms, the Master Form
ula may be expressed as follows: “You may
have anything you want, provided that you (1)
know exactly what you want, (2) want it hard
enough, (3) confidently expect to obtain it,
(4) persistently determine to obtain it, and
(5) are willing to pay the price of its attain
ment.”

Yep that's his 5 steps from the Desire chapter. I still love the book and all the stories in it.

I think he was arrested for being drunk while driving or overspending or commandeering a bulldozer on a construction site for fun.

He wasn't arrested for fraud.

yes my favorite chapter is this Desire chapter. and the Barnes story

i can't stop thinking about this :

" It could not have been
the young man's appearance which got him his start in the Edison office, for that
was definitely against him. It was what he THOUGHT that counted. If the sig-
nificance of this statement could be conveyed to every person who reads it, there
would be no need for the remainder of this book ".


i believe there is infinite wisdom in this quotation for anyone who can understand it.

---> most people can't understand it . otherwise they would not tolerate failure in their lives .
