“No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.”

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.
