Book Excerpt:

The man who assiduously cultivates his powers of observation and thus gains daily from his experiences what helps him to see farther and clearer everything in life that is worth seeing, has given himself a discipline that is much more[Pg 66] important than the discipline of all the schools and the colleges without it. The greatest text-books of the greatest universities are only the records of the observations of some close observer whose better powers of seeing things had been acquired mainly while he was taking his courses in that university under his hat.

The intellect is both telescope and microscope; if it is rightly used, it shall observe thousands of things which are too minute and too distant for those who with eyes and ears neither see nor hear. The intellect can be made to look far beyond the range of what men and women ord. . . Read More

A short lil' piece, very nice. Kind of repetitive, but relevant examples & an overall great message. This might even be a five star, but I think its length knocks it down. Having said that, little reading and much thinking make a wise man.

Every words is counted as an intellect !

What a wonderful read it was to read this short, but full of such wisdom and insight for living.

Napoleon Hill recommended this book, and it was everything he said it was. It was a short read and dated, but made the primary point that all of us should take our education into our own hands and not depend solely on school or universities to teach us. I really enjoyed this book.

2. Thoughtfulness is gained by the practice of gratitude over

Good read

This was recommended reading after one of Napolean Hills books. It's a bit antiquated but a good read non the less.

1) Observation: by mere observation u can learn many things from nature and animal world
2) Think for yourself : school and colleges shall not teach life skills, how to think in proper way so that we become more educated!..
3) P

Every person should read

Common knowledge is not always common practice. I purchased this book because Napoleon Hill recommended it as a part of his law of success book. It is one of the better reads I have read. Can't go wrong buying this book.

Excellent

Excellent advice from the past that applies today. Observation is key to success. The book was very poorly transferred to Kindle which makes reading it tedious.
