Believe and Achieve: 17 Principles of Success for Everyone (Napoleon Hill Foundation)

The Napoleon Hill Foundation was founded on August 21, 1962, by Dr. Hill and his wife, Annie Lou, with the dedicated goal of making the world a better place to live, for both the present and future generations. The Foundation, a non-profit Educational Foundation, was established to foster, perpetuate, and disseminate Dr. Napoleon Hill's lifetime research, writings, and teachings throughout the world, through publication and instruction.

In an essay titled "An Essay on Life," Napoleon Hill expressed his defiant and lighthearted attitude towards life's challenges. He refuses to take life's discipline too seriously, and instead, he finds solace in laughter, which he believes is the antidote to any of life's sorrows or disappointments. Hill acknowledges that life is a "fickle trickster," constantly trying to lure him with emotions, desires, and temptations, but he has learned to dodge these traps by embracing laughter and following his own path to knowledge and self-discovery.

In 1952, W. Clement Stone joined forces with Napoleon Hill, adding his Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) principles to Hill's success principles. The Napoleon Hill Foundation has since surveyed today's leaders and found that these original principles are still being used and are more relevant than ever, with the ability to adapt to modern perceptions, attitudes, and values.

The Foundation emphasizes that the principles of success are practical, proven, and versatile, and that by developing one's abilities to the fullest, through deliberate effort and investment in study, thinking, and planning, anyone can achieve their goals. The key is to be willing to pay the price of regular work and sacrifice, and to learn how to tap into the powers of the subconscious mind to influence oneself and others in a desirable direction.

The Napoleon Hill Foundation offers several publications that showcase the enduring relevance and applicability of Hill's principles, including "Think and Grow Rich: The Original," "Napoleon Hill's Greatest Speeches," "Napoleon Hill's Life Lessons," "Napoleon Hill's Success Principles Rediscovered," and "Napoleon Hill's Power of Positive Action."
