Today I want to talk about a concept that you may or may not have heard before. It’s a concept based on the realization that life is a lot like planting corn seeds. If you can understand this concept, then you can understand life.

You see, there are four things that happen when you plant corn seeds:

Number 1: You get corn (not potatoes)
Number 2: You get the corn later than you planted it
Number 3: You get more corn than you planted
Number 4: You get the corn in proportion to how much corn you planted.

There are no opportunities out there that will offer you immediate success.

Don’t think, “If I had only joined that business on the ‘ground level,’ then I would be rich,” or “If had only purchased thousand shares of Microsoft, then I would be living the life of my dreams right now.”

The reality is, you didn’t purchase that stock for a reason.

Napoleon Hill was one of the earliest creators of self-development literature. He is considered by many to be one of the great writers on success. His classic work, “Think and Grow Rich,” is one of the best-selling books of all time.

How it all began:

Andrew Carnegie, the industrialist and one of the most powerful men in the world in Hill’s day, believed that success could be described in a simple formula (although Carnegie wasn’t sure what that formula was).
