Success keys
Napoleon Hill is probably the most influential of all the great motivational speakers of the 20th Century. His work inspired such modern greats as Tony Robbins, Jack Canfield; Mark Victor Hansen, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn, Denis Waitley and I could go on. He has also inspired me (strangely enough!).
Think and Grow Rich was first published in 1937 and is one of the bestselling books of all time. Hill devoted his life to discovering the keys to success by studying and then recording the habits of the most successful people of his era (504 of the World's richest men). He then disseminated the information so people could "model" (ah NLP) these habits.
One of his most famous quotes is
"Whatever your mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve!
So the most fundamental question to ask to start on your road to success is:
"Where are you going?"
Lewis Carroll writes about Alice as she wanders down a pathway, that she reaches a fork in the road. She looks to the right and then to the left and wonders. She sees the Cheshire cat in a tree and asks:
"Which road shall I take?"
To which he replies,
"Where are you going?"
Alice responds. "I don’t know"
She receives the reply,
"If you don't know where you are going, then any road will do."
So Hill’s suggestion that we have a “major definite purpose” has been adopted by all of the most successful people from his research until this day! So what is yours?
My next few blogs will be my thoughts on how to apply Hill’s keys to success. These thoughts were inspired by one of the quotes in his book, a proverb:
“If you would plant for days, plant flowers,
If you would plant for years, plant trees,
If you would plant for eternity, plant ideas”.
A couple of these ideas worth cultivating are:
“The attitude of gratitude:”
This concept has been adopted by almost all modern gurus from Hill’s original works. He says,
“If you make your prayers an expression of gratitude and thanksgiving for all the blessings you already have, instead of requests for things you do not have, you will obtain results much faster.”
The second idea I wish to pass on is,
“The extra mile formula”:
Brian Tracy says,
“There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.”
Napoleon Hill wrote a very simple formula:
“Q1 + Q2 + MA = C”
Q1, he defines as the quality of service you supply to others.
Q2 is the quantity of service rendered, or the effort you put in.
MA is the mental attitude with which the service is rendered. (Much of his work is about how to approach life with a positive mental attitude).
C is the “Compensation” you will receive. Here Hill does not mean “money”. He defines compensation as:
Money, joy, harmony, spiritual enlightenment, faith, an open mind, a sense of tolerance or anything else worthwhile that you seek.
Remain true to the spirit of going the extra mile and cultivate the attitude of gratitude and maintain your positive outlook. These have certainly helped me, maybe they will help you.

Apples & Oranges Discovery Session
8 October at Emirates Golf Club, Majlis Suite, was a great day for Peter, Maha and Marcelle. Thanks for the support from Hisham, (Quest, Cairo). The Celemi Discovery Day went off extremely well. We had guests from a number of high profile Dubai and Abu Dhabi institutions and they responded brilliantly to the material. The final part of the day resulted in fierce competition from the teams involved, 3's Company, Ace, Fun, Pioneers and Super Lollipops. In the end Pioneers and Super Lollipops were involved in a nail biting tie breaker and still nothing could separate them. Finally one question decided the winners with Mahmoud from Pioneers getting the answer slightly faster than Islam from Super Lollipops.
Some photos will soon be on Learning-linx.com in the gallery.
Thanks to all the delegates for their participation and we hope that the learning will be utilzed effectively

Attitude
Zig Ziglar says,
"It’s your attitude that determines your ultimate altitude", that suddenly got me to thinking, which attitude will be the best to get you to the top (another of his quotes is "See you at the top").
So I looked up attitude in a couple of places and came across this:
"A posture of the body supposed to imply some mental state" it originates in Italian - "attitudine" for “disposition, posture"
Dictionary.com suggests
"Manner, disposition, feeling, position, etc., with regard to a person or thing; tendency or orientation, esp. of the mind",
And
"Position or posture of the body appropriate to or expressive of an action, emotion"
So what mental states will determine high altitude, what are the empowering emotions? Well according to Tony Robbins they are:
Love and warmth, gratitude, curiosity, excitement, determination, confidence, flexibility, cheerfulness, vitality, making a contribution.
And what body language and postures will generate these emotions.
Well smiling for one, it's universal. A smile says you are pleasant, attractive, sincere, sociable and competent. A smile sends endorphins to the brain to give an overall feeling of wellbeing. It is one of our most natural abilities and yet adults will only laugh about fifteen times a day whereas children laugh about four hundred times a day. Fact it takes seventeen muscles to smile and forty three muscles to frown. So be wrinkle free!
Try this exercise, when you go to the bathroom in the morning, smile at yourself in the mirror. If the mirror does not break you will have a great day!
And then, relax, breathe slowly and evenly and eliminate any anger, frustration, regret, guilt, fear hurt, disappointment from your life.
Two great quotes to close:
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, toady is a gift, that is why it is called the present!
And St Francis’s quote:
God grant me the courage to change the things that I can change, the serenity to accept the things I cannot change and the wisdom to know the difference.
Love, laugh and create positive energy for everyone you meet, generate enthusiasm, be friendly and helpful. Live in the here and the now.
