“Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to cut all sources of retreat. Only by doing so can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win - essential to success.”

American self-help author

Napoleon Hill was an American self-help author. He is best known for Think and Grow Rich, published in 1937, which became one of the best-selling self-help books of all time. His writing presented success as something that can be shaped by belief and sustained expectation. Most of his books set out principles for achieving success, and his work returned often to the idea that determined thought is central to improving one’s life.
