The 12 Miracles of Life

NAPOLEON HILL was born on October 26, 1883 in Southwest Virginia. Napoleon was born into a rural, poverty-stricken area where education was not important. At the time, boys quit school around age 13 or 14 and went to work in the coal mines. However, Napoleon wanted a different life, so he sought an opportunity to go to Tazewell Business School and later received a job as a secretary. Eventually, he took a job as a reporter and interviewed Andrew Carnegie, one of the world’s richest men. Mr. Carnegie urged Napoleon to devote his life to developing a simple success philosophy that anyone could follow, and Napoleon did just that. In 1928, he published his first book, The Law of Success, which was a result of studying 500 of the most successful men at the time. The Law of Success was a complex book and was over 1000 pages long, so Napoleon condensed his research and wrote Think and Grow Rich in 1937. Think and Grow Rich has sold millions of copies all over the world and is a set of principles that we can all use to live successful lives. Napoleon Hill was a lifetime author and continued writing books until he passed in 1970. Today, the Napoleon Hill Foundation continues Napoleon’s work of making the world a better place in which to live and has published over 100 books by Dr. Napoleon Hill.
