 7 LESSONS FROM THE SCIENCE OF GETTING RICH BY WALLACE WATTLES 


1. THE RIGHT TO BE RICH 


"WHATEVER may be said in praise of poverty, the fact remains that it is not possible to live a really complete or successful life unless one is rich. No man can rise to his greatest possible height in talent or soul development unless he has plenty of money; for to unfold the soul and to develop talent he must have many things to use, and he cannot have these things unless he has money to buy them with."


2. THE DESIRE TO BE RICH


"There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. "


3. BE AN EXAMPLE 


“If you want to help the poor, demonstrate to them that they can become rich; prove it by getting rich yourself.”


4. YOU CAN'T LIVE FULLY IN POVERTY 


"Man cannot live fully in body without good food, comfortable clothing, and warm shelter; and without freedom from excessive toil. Rest and recreation are also necessary to his physical life.


He cannot live fully in mind without books and time to study them, without opportunity for travel and observation, or without intellectual companionship.


To live fully in mind he must have intellectual recreations, and must surround himself with all the objects of art and beauty he is capable of using and appreciating.


To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty." 


5. CREATE THINGS 


"You must get rid of the thought of competition. You are to create, not to compete for what is already created.


You do not have to take anything away from any one.


You do not have to drive sharp bargains.


You do not have to cheat, or to take advantage. You do not need to let any man work for you for less than he earns.


You do not have to covet the property of others, or to look at it with wishful eyes; no man has anything of which you cannot have the like, and that without taking what he has away from him.


You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now." 


6. DEVELOP A LIFESTYLE OF GRATITUDE 


"Many people who order their lives rightly in all other ways are kept in poverty by their lack of gratitude. Having received one gift from God, they cut the wires which connect them with Him by failing to make acknowledgment.


It is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive; and it is easy also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to Him in thankful acknowledgment." 


7. TAKE SOME STEPS 


"If there is something that may be done today, and you do not do it, you have failed in so far as that thing is concerned; and the consequences may be more disastrous than you imagine.


You cannot foresee the results of even the most trivial act; you do not know the workings of all the forces that have been set moving in your behalf. Much may be depending on your doing some simple act; it may be the very thing which is to open the door of opportunity to very great possibilities. You can never know all the combinations which God is making for you in the world of things and of things and of human affairs; your neglect or failure to do some small thing may cause a long delay in getting what you want.


Do, every day, ALL that can be done that day."

 5 Lessons I Learned From The Book ‘As a Man Thinketh’ 1) You Become What You Think You are what you are right now because of the thoughts you once had or have. If you want to change yourself, you should first start with changing your thoughts. All the actions of man arise from the hidden seeds of thoughts. Just with the right choice and application of thought, man can ascend to divine perfection; while with wrong choice and application of thought, he can rise below the level of the beast. Good thoughts and results can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.  2)Your Mind is Like a Garden The author creates an analogy of our mind with the garden. We either choose to cultivate our mind wisely or let it run wild. If we don’t plant the seeds of beautiful flowers in our garden, the garden will itself produce some useless weeds. Just as the gardener weeds out all unnecessary plants it is the responsibility of every individual to plant the ...

  10 Quotes from "Building A Second Brain" by Tiago Forte. 1. "Your professional success and quality of life depend directly on your ability to manage information effectively." 2. "Before we do anything with our ideas, we have to 'off-load' them from our minds and put them into concrete form. Only when we declutter our brain of complex ideas can we think clearly and start to work with those ideas effectively." 3. "Once our thoughts are outside our head, we can examine them, play with them, and make them better. It's like a shortcut to realizing the full potential of the thoughts driving through our minds." 4. "Information becomes knowledge–personal, embodied, verified–only when we put it to use. You gain confidence in what you know only when you know that it works." 5. "Every time you take a note, ask yourself, 'How can I make this as useful as possible for my future self?' That question will lead you to annotat...
