10 reasons why people fail or have difficulties


Resist the failure by understanding it.

At this article I'll post 10 reasons why people fail or have difficulties. The information is an extract from the book of Napoleon Hill - “Think and Grow Rich”.

  1. Not clearly defined goal in life – No one could be successful in case that he doesn't have a clear goal in his life. 98 out of 100 people fail because of this reason.
  2. Absence of ambition to jump over the average level – There is no hope for the one who is mindless to life-improvement and is not ready to pay the price for it.
  3. Insufficient education – This could be overcame easily. Experience shows that best educated are self-though. Moreover education is based not on quantity but on its consistent and successful applying. You get money not for what you know in your head but for what you do.
  4. Indiscipline – You should control the negative parts of your nature. To rule the situation you should first learn how to be a master of yourself.
  5. Absence of tenacity – A lot of people are good of starting but not finishing their tasks. Even more, most of them quit their ideas on the first symptoms of failure. Be tenacious and always finish what you've started.
  6. Negative personality – There is no chances for success for people who are in a negative mood. Such people could not have the cooperation of others.
  7. Hesitation – All successful people take fast decisions. On the other hand failure is a friend of people who make stagnant decisions and always change them.
  8. Fear – All kinds of fear lead to failure. You should overcome them to be successful.
  9. Excessive cautiousness – If you don't take risks you should satisfy yourself with the crumbs on the table of someone else.
  10. Stereotypes – Successful people don't follow any stereotypes.
Well, how many of these reasons are common to you? If any, you can try to strive away from them.

Dear Stanislav:

I enjoyed reading your blog today and thought you might be interested to learn that a new edition of Napoleon Hill's classic book "Think and Grow Rich" has been published.

Its title is ”Think and Grow Rich!” (subtitled) “The Original Version, Restored and Revised.” I am the editor/annotator of this new 412-page edition, which is really an homage to Dr. Hill. (For several years I was the editor-in-chief of "Think & Grow Rich Newsletter.")

What I have done is this: to restore Dr. Hill's book to its original manuscript content (it was first published in 1937, but was abridged in 1960), annotate it with more than 50 pages of endnotes (most of the persons and events he discusses are generally unknown to readers today), index it thoroughly, add an appendix with a wealth of additional information about Dr. Hill and his work, and revise the book in ways to help remove certain "impediments" to reading the book today (language that today might be considered obsolete, sexist or racist). None of these things had previously been done with TGR.

If you would like to learn a little more about this project, a quick visit to www.tgr-restored-revised.com will give you some details.

The book is available on Amazon.com and most other online sellers, it can be ordered by any bookstore, and should start appearing in bookstores in January.

Our new edition of TGR! is superior in every way to other versions available. It is a trade paperback, not a pocket-size mass market paperback. It is 412 pages versus 256+, depending upon the edition. It looks better, feels better, reads better than any other version. It is fast becoming the "version of choice" among Napoleon Hill devotees and other students of success and high achievement.

Thank you for your time and interest.

Sincerely yours,

Ross Cornwell, Editor
