Success Principles That Work for Anyone: The Proven Foundations
May 09, 2025“We are now ready to examine the first of these principles. Maintain a spirit of open mindedness, and remember as you read, they are the invention of no one man. The principles were gathered from the life experiences of more than 500 men who accumulated riches in huge amounts; men who began in poverty, with but little education, without influence. The principles worked for these men. You can put them to work for your own enduring benefit." Page 19 Chapter 1 "Think and Grow Rich."
It is important to maintain an open mind while reading and implementing these principles because they are not just theoretical ideas or philosophies invented by a single person. Instead, they are a compilation of the wisdom and practices of over 500 successful men, many of whom started from humble beginnings and managed to accumulate vast wealth.
The quote also highlights the universality of these principles. Since they have worked for people who began in poverty and without influence, they can work for anyone willing to apply them, regardless of their current circumstances.
