Authors such as Napoleon Hill have produced a great deal of writings that form the classic success philosophy of the early 1900s. Most of this material is as applicable today as it was back then, and forms the basis of the teachings of many modern success gurus. Here is a sampling of selections from those early success writers:

“…Both success and failure are largely the results of habit!” (Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich)

“The majority of people permit relatives, friends, and the public at large to so influence them that they cannot live their own lives, because they fear criticism.” (Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich)

“The majority of people are ready to throw their aims and purposes overboard, and give up at the first sign of opposition or misfortune. A few carry on despite all opposition, until they attain their goal.” (Napoleon Hill, Think & Grow Rich)

“Ask the next ten people whom you meet why they have not accomplished more in their respective lines of endeavor, and at least nine of them will tell you that opportunity does not seem to come around their way. Go a step further and analyze each of these nine accurately by observing their actions for one single day, and the chances are that you will find that every one of them is turning away the finest sort of opportunities every hour of the day.” (Napoleon Hill, The Law of Success)

“The battle for achievement of success is half won when one knows definitely what is wanted. … The man who actually knows just what he wants in life has already gone a long way toward attaining it.” (Napoleon Hill, The Law of Success)

“Charles Chaplin makes a million dollars a year out of a funny, shuffling walk and a pair of baggy trousers, because he does ’something different.’ Take the hint and ‘individualize’ yourself with some distinctive idea.” (Napoleon Hill, The Law of Success)

“One of the most valuable things any person can learn is the art of using the knowledge and experience of others.” (Napoleon Hill, The Law of Success)

“One of the outstanding tragedies of this age of struggle and money-madness is the fact that so few people are engaged in the effort which they like best… [Everyone should] find his or her particular niche in the world’s work, where both material prosperity and happiness in abundance may be found.” (Napoleon Hill, The Law of Success)

“There are plenty of people who are good to others, but are not good to themselves. They do not take care of their own health, their own bodies, do not conserve their own energies, husband their own resources. They are slaves to others, tyrants to themselves.” (Orison Swett Marden, Be Good to Yourself)

“The most precious investment a man can make is to be just as good to himself as he possibly can, and never, under any circumstances, pinch or economize in things which can help him to do the greatest thing possible to him.” (Orison Swett Marden, Be Good to Yourself)

“No one can make the most of himself who does not consider his personal needs. When we are best to ourselves, we radiate a healthy mental attitude of optimism, joy, gladness, and hope. It is a great thing to be a good animal, to maintain mental poise; then we radiate exuberance of life, enthusiasm, buoyancy.” (Orison Swett Marden, Be Good to Yourself)

“Every man should lay out a clean, straight, level track to his goal. All obstructions should be removed, all dangers and risks reduced to a minimum, making his road straight, firm, solid and safe.” (Orison Swett Marden, Be Good to Yourself)

“A most injurious and unpleasant way of looking for trouble is fault-finding, continual criticism of other persons. Some people are never generous, never magnanimous toward others. They are stingy of their praise, showing always an unhealthy parsimony in their recognition of merit in others, and critical of their every act.” (Orison Swett Marden, Every Man a King)

“Change of environment will often wondrously develop a backward boy whose parents were completely discouraged with him under the home conditions. As soon as the boy got into a store, or into a school, or was thrown upon his own resources, his whole character was changed.” (Orison Swett Marden, Every Man a King)

“A Leader must go about. He must ask questions. He must respect the opinions of others, but that is all. He must always make up his own mind. He must be Independenthow strange that sounds! He must not be the prey of the last speaker.” (Herbert N. Casson, Tips on Leadership)

“No big man, in a word, is as big as his job. He needs help. He needs fearless criticism and advice. He needs the stimulation that can come only from other brains that are as clever as his own. That is why a strong man should not carry his independence too far. That is why he should make alliances with other Leaders in other lines of trade and commerce. … (Herbert N. Casson, Tips on Leadership)

“… [The] art of seizing opportunities and turning even accidents to account, bending them to some purpose is a great secret of success. … The most ordinary occasions will furnish a man with opportunities or suggestions for improvement, if he be but prompt to take advantage of them. ” (Samuel Smiles, Self Help)

“Self-respect is the noblest garment with which a man may clothe himselfthe most elevating feeling with which the mind can be inspired.” (Samuel Smiles, Self Help)

“…When you have learned to control yourself you will have found the “World Within” which controls the world without; you will have become irresistible; men and things will respond to your every wish without any apparent effort on your part.” (Charles F. Haanel, The Mastery Key System)

“Knowledge will not apply itself. You must make the application. Abundance will not come to you out of the sky, neither will it drop into your lap, but a conscious realization of the law of attraction and the intention to bring it into operation for a certain, definite and specific purpose, and the will to carry out this purpose will bring about the materialization of your desire by a natural law of transference…” (Charles F. Haanel, The Mastery Key System)

“You may be pursuing the symbols of power, instead of power itself. You may be pursuing fame instead of honor, riches instead of wealth, position instead of servitude; in either event you will find that they turn to ashes just as you overtake them…” (Charles F. Haanel, The Mastery Key System)

There may come a time in your dog’s life when he will suffer from dog flu (medically
known as the “canine influenza” virus). There are a few symptoms to watch out for:

Firstly there is the coughing. Most if not all dogs will suffer this, if not painful it will
be very uncomfortable for your dog. Young puppies and older dogs will suffer from
coughing a lot more than your average aged dog. The best thing to do at this stage
is to make sure that he has plenty of fluids and that he doesn’t over work himself in
the throat area, or he could start to feel really sorry for himself! The coughing tends
to be worse during exercise or excitement, it tends to imitate kennel cough but the
difference with dog flu is that the cough lasts a lot longer.

High fevers are another symptom to watch out for. Sometimes dogs can suffer
temperatures up to 106 degrees so if you start to notice the coughing and the fever
together make sure that you get him to the vets just to be on the safe side.
Otherwise you could be looking at a bad bout of dog flu. The fever tends to make
your dog dehydrated so again just make sure that he has lots of water and that you
give him plenty of love as he will need it, feeling so poorly!

There are other general symptoms such as runny eyes and nose, which could simply
be just a cold but its best to get it checked out especially if there are any other
symptoms. Your dog may also suffer from some depression. He will be going
through a tough and painful time so just make sure that he is as comfortable as
possible and give him lots of cuddles. A bit of tender, love and care can go a long
way!

Dog flu is highly contagious between other dogs. People are often worried about
dog flu spreading to humans but there is no evidence of this whatsoever and there
has been no claims of it either so that’s not something you have to worry about.
Something you do have to worry about however is that if dog flu is left untreated
then it may lead to Pneumonia. Dogs suffering from dog flu also have an 80%
chance of infection which is why antibiotics are usually prescribed to help them fend
it off, saving them a lot more pain and discomfort.

The incubation time for dog flu is around four weeks, after those few weeks are over
and your dogs had a good treatment of antibiotics he should be feeling fit, happy
and back to his normal self again.

Airline pilots practice fly in simulators before taking off in an expensive new jet. They do this so that they don’t kill themselves or their passengers. They also do this so that a very expensive airplane does not get destroyed!

In the futures markets people who trade commodities have been practicing for years by “paper trading” the markets. Paper trading consists of using long term price charts to get a feel for the markets. This was done before we had computers by learning to recognize and analyze simple trend lines using a pen and ruler in a catalog of price charts supplied by a technical analysis chart subscription service.

Once the computer was invented an observant, entrepreneurial, futures trader named Lan Turner recognized that the entire futures trading process could be simulated with software. He noticed that this could be done just like the Xbox games kids play today that are a lot of fun (but don’t teach you how to get wealthier).

Mr. Turner created a simple software application with a programmer friend and began showing it around. Futures traders immediately recognized the enormous benefit of practicing in these highly leveraged markets before actually trading; just like pilots learning to fly a new aircraft use a simulator. With this first application Lan began hiring more and more programmers and today his company Gecko Software (www.geckosoftware.com) has the best futures trading simulator in the world because it really puts you in the trading seat without exposing your hard earned savings.

Now they have finally created an equity version that is being beta tested called TNT High Finance that allows me to actually practice in any past time in any stock. The software allows me to place positions and then roll time forward like a video player. This virtual environment allows me to see each day unfolding in any stock I want to practice an investment technique in the market without risking my assets.

The reason I am writing about paper trading in the stock markets is that you must understand how vitally important it is for you to find a stock investing technique that is just right for you. Each of us has different ways of thinking (psychology). A stock investing method that is just right for me may be horrible for you and vice versa. Paper trading in the stock market allows you to hone in on a stock investment strategy that works for you. Learn to paper trade in the stock market and you can get years of trading experience in a few short months of practice that is absolutely critical to your financial health!

The population of the island of Ireland is approximately 5.8 million people, 4.1 million in the Republic of Ireland and 1.7 million in Northern Ireland. Ireland is the third largest island in Europe.

Geography: Ireland has thirty-two counties, and four provinces: Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster. A ring of coastal mountains surrounds low central plains. About five percent of Irish land is under forest. The island’s green vegetation is a product of its mild climate and frequent but soft rainfall. Ireland’s most scenic areas lie in the south western and western counties. These areas are largely mountainous and rocky, with beautiful green views.

Irish: is the Celtic language of Ireland. It was brought to Ireland by Celtic invaders in 1000 BC, and to the end of the 18th century, was spoken by the majority of the people. The English language gained ground rapidly and Irish is now spoken regularly only in certain areas in the west of Ireland. It is taught in all schools, but despite active support from the government of Ireland, there are probably fewer than 90,000 speakers. It is the first official language of the Irish Republic and recently became an official language of the European Union (EU).

Literature and the arts: For such a small country, Ireland has made a large contribution to world of art and literature in all its branches, mainly in English. In more recent times, Ireland has produced four winners of the Nobel Prize for literature: George Bernard Shaw, William Butler Yeats, Samuel Beckett, and Seamus Heaney.
James Joyce is widely considered as one of the most significant writers of the 20th century. His novel: Ulysses is considered one of the greatest novels of the 20th century.

Landscape: The Irish landscape is one of Ireland’s greatest attractions. Ireland’s most scenic areas lie in the south western and western counties. There are several National Parks filled with towering hills, romantic lakes, and will always remain Irelands most unspoiled treasures. Magnificent scenery has attracted many visitors to these parks for years.

Climate: The Atlantic Gulf Stream keeps the Irish climate mild most of the year. Average temperatures in winter are 4 - 7o C, and in summer are 14 - 18o C. Rainfall is heaviest in the west and lightest in the southeast, but at all times very unpredictable.

Sport: Gaelic hurling and football are the most popular sports in Ireland - they make up the national sports of Ireland, known as Gaelic Games. All Gaelic games are governed by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).
Other main sports include: Rugby, Football (soccer), Horse racing and Greyhound racing.
