Speaker 2: Success Habits by Napoleon Hill, Free Accurate Thinking. Hello friends,
Speaker 2: tonight we begin discussion of the subject of accurate thinking.
Speaker 2: There are a lot of people in this world who
Speaker 2: believe that they think accurately, but the majority of them
Speaker 2: don't think at all. They just think that they think.
Speaker 2: Accurate thinking involves certain factors which I'm going to explain
Speaker 2: to you. They're not complicated, but I want to warn
Speaker 2: you in advance that if you wish to become an
Speaker 2: accurate thinker instead of a snap judgment thinker, you have
Speaker 2: to have a technique. You have to follow a system,
Speaker 2: and you have to stick to that system. First of all,
Speaker 2: there are three important fundamentals in the business of accurate thinking,
Speaker 2: and here they are. Number one is the principle of
Speaker 2: inductive reasoning, based on the assumption of unknown facts or hypotheses.
Speaker 2: Inductive reasoning means that you do not have all of
Speaker 2: the facts, but you assume that certain facts must exist.
Speaker 2: For example, if you are going to think accurately on
Speaker 2: the subject of God, whether or not there is a God,
Speaker 2: you've never met him. You've never seen him, you never
Speaker 2: have met anybody who has met him or seen him,
Speaker 2: And yet your reasoning on the subject would have to
Speaker 2: be of the inductive nature. When you begin to look
Speaker 2: around at the marvelous organized factors in the universe and
Speaker 2: in this little world in which we live, you would
Speaker 2: be forced to the conclusion that there is such a
Speaker 2: power as that which many call God. Whether you call
Speaker 2: it by that name or some other, that would be
Speaker 2: inductive reasoning. Number two, There is deductive reasoning based upon
Speaker 2: known facts, facts that you know to be true, or
Speaker 2: what are believed to be facts. There are a lot
Speaker 2: of people who stumble on that one because they assume
Speaker 2: to have facts when all they are dealing with is hearsay, evidence,
Speaker 2: or gossip, something that they said, or something that I
Speaker 2: read in the papers. When someone starts to tell me
Speaker 2: something and prefaces his remarks by saying I see by
Speaker 2: the papers, I reach up figuratively speaking, and pulled down
Speaker 2: my mental earmuffs and refuse to let anything he says
Speaker 2: register in my mind. Because having been a newspaperman once
Speaker 2: upon a time, and having known a great many newspapermen,
Speaker 2: I do know that newspapers often make mistakes. They're not
Speaker 2: always accurate. The third factor that enters into the business
Speaker 2: of accurate thinking is logic, that is to say, guidance
Speaker 2: by past experiences similar to those under consideration at a
Speaker 2: given time. Logic, ladies and gentlemen, If you will take
Speaker 2: the average circumstance where you're trying to do some accurate thinking,
Speaker 2: and after you have reached your decision in connection with it,
Speaker 2: or perhaps before you have reached your decision, if you
Speaker 2: will submit the whole proposition to the principle of logic
Speaker 2: to see whether it's logical that the opinion or decision
Speaker 2: you are about to arrive at is correct or not,
Speaker 2: you'll save yourself an awful lot of trouble. Those are
Speaker 2: the three factors that go into the business of accurate thinking.
Speaker 2: There are two major steps that you must take in
Speaker 2: accurate thinking, and here they are two steps only. First,
Speaker 2: you must separate facts or what you believe to be facts,
Speaker 2: from fiction or hearsay evidence. That's the first thing you
Speaker 2: do when you're dealing with any subject whereby you're going
Speaker 2: to reach a decision in connection with your thinking, you
Speaker 2: must immediately search all of the factors that enter into
Speaker 2: that and see whether they constitute facts or fiction or
Speaker 2: hearsay evidence. That's step number one. As I go along
Speaker 2: analyzing this subject, Ladies and gentlemen, it would be very
Speaker 2: beneficial to you if you would compare these rules that
Speaker 2: I am giving you with your own method of thinking
Speaker 2: and see wherein you fall short, if at all. It
Speaker 2: might be a good idea for you to analyze some
Speaker 2: of the people you know best by these rules to
Speaker 2: see how many of them are doing accurate thinking. First,
Speaker 2: you separate fact from fiction or hearsay evidence. Then, after
Speaker 2: you've done that and you know what the facts are,
Speaker 2: or believe that you know. You've made that separation, you've
Speaker 2: thrown out the hearsay evidence. You're dealing only with those
Speaker 2: things that you can prove. You separate those facts into
Speaker 2: two classes, and one is called important and the other unimportant.
Speaker 2: Would you know how to go about distinguishing the difference
Speaker 2: between an important fact and an unimportant fact? How many
Speaker 2: of you would be able to make that differentiation? Show
Speaker 2: me by your hands, what don't you know the difference
Speaker 2: between an important fact and an unimportant fact? Or are
Speaker 2: you just overly modest? An important fact, Ladies and gentlemen,
Speaker 2: may be assumed to be any fact that can be
Speaker 2: used by you to an advantage in the attainment of
Speaker 2: your major purpose, or any of your minor desires leading
Speaker 2: toward the attainment of your major purpose. That to you
Speaker 2: is an important fact, and all other facts are relatively unimportant,
Speaker 2: and most of them are out and out worthless so
Speaker 2: far as you're concerned. I could mention to you a
Speaker 2: hundred facts of things that have happened since I left
Speaker 2: my home in Saint Louis this morning and drove up
Speaker 2: here to Paris, but I'll say ninety nine percent of
Speaker 2: them wouldn't be of any importance one way or the other.
Speaker 2: There's only one fact in connection with my trip up
Speaker 2: here that is important, and that is that I arrived
Speaker 2: here at this studio on time, and that I'm now
Speaker 2: fulfilling my scheduled lecture. Now you know what an important
Speaker 2: fact is. If you will watch yourself in connection with
Speaker 2: your actions throughout the day, you will be amazed at
Speaker 2: the number of unimportant facts that take up a lot
Speaker 2: of your time, facts which, no matter how you handle
Speaker 2: them or how you relate yourself to them, mean nothing
Speaker 2: to you except a waste of time. If you are
Speaker 2: going to be successful, people in the upper brackets of success.
Speaker 2: If you're going to learn to think accurately and use
Speaker 2: that knowledge to lift you high in the strata of success,
Speaker 2: then you have got to learn not only to separate
Speaker 2: important facts from unimportant facts, but you've got to form
Speaker 2: a habit of devoting most of your time to important facts,
Speaker 2: that is to say, facts that will bring you some definite,
Speaker 2: discernible benefit leading toward the object of your major purpose
Speaker 2: in life or the tainment of some of your minor purposes. Oh,
Speaker 2: if you're going to follow that rule, there'll be a
Speaker 2: number of bridge parties that you'll have to cut out.
Speaker 2: There'll be a number of things that you indulge in
Speaker 2: that you might just as well discontinue because you're only
Speaker 2: wasting time and you're not dealing with important facts at all. Next,
Speaker 2: I want to call your attention to the business of
Speaker 2: having opinions. Opinions usually are without value because they are
Speaker 2: typically based on bias, prejudice, intolerance, guess work, or hearsay evidence.
Speaker 2: Most people have opinions about any and every subject that
Speaker 2: you might imagine, and the majority of those opinions are
Speaker 2: not worth anything at all because they are not arrived
Speaker 2: at by practical or scientific means. Two men some time
Speaker 2: ago were discussing the merits of doctor Einstein's theory of relativity.
Speaker 2: One of them said, do you really believe in doctor
Speaker 2: Einstein's theory of relativity? And the other man said, heck no,
Speaker 2: What does that man know about politics? Anyway? He thought
Speaker 2: the theory of relativity was a system of politics, yet
Speaker 2: he had an opinion on it. It would be interesting
Speaker 2: to you, and perhaps beneficial, my friends, if you would
Speaker 2: study yourself carefully every time in the future that you
Speaker 2: are getting ready to express an opinion about anything. Examine
Speaker 2: yourself carefully to see how you came by the influences
Speaker 2: and circumstances that enabled you to express that opinion, to
Speaker 2: see whether they came from sound sources, from hearsay evidence,
Speaker 2: or from something that you read or something you heard
Speaker 2: from unreliable sources opinions, No opinion is safe unless based
Speaker 2: upon known facts, or at least what are believed to
Speaker 2: be facts, after you have exhausted all the possibilities of
Speaker 2: searching for facts. No one should express an opinion at
Speaker 2: any time about anything without a reasonable assurance that it
Speaker 2: is founded upon facts. Had you ever thought of that
Speaker 2: that you shouldn't express an opinion on any subject at all,
Speaker 2: unless it is based upon either known facts or what
Speaker 2: you believe to be facts. Had you ever stopped to
Speaker 2: think about it, that the vast majority of your opinions
Speaker 2: are based upon something far different from facts or known facts.
Speaker 2: You haven't made the effort to gain the facts, but
Speaker 2: you have an opinion. Nevertheless, you have no right to
Speaker 2: that opinion, because there's nothing on which to found it.
Speaker 2: Someone asked me not long ago what my opinion of
Speaker 2: the Korean War situation was. I said, well, that's a
Speaker 2: question that can't be answered in one sentence. I have
Speaker 2: a lot of opinions about it. I have a lot
Speaker 2: of opinions about the people who started it. I have
Speaker 2: a lot of opinions about the way it's being conducted.
Speaker 2: I couldn't answer with one opinion. I would have several opinions,
Speaker 2: and all of them based upon what I have seen
Speaker 2: happen since that war started. That is, they were based
Speaker 2: upon facts. Advice, too, is often worth little or no attention.
Speaker 2: Free advice volunteered by friends and a suaintances usually is
Speaker 2: not worthy of consideration. Someone has said that anything in
Speaker 2: the world that you get for nothing is worth exactly
Speaker 2: the price you pay for it, and that is particularly
Speaker 2: true of free advice. It makes no difference what you
Speaker 2: want to do, what your plans are, where you're going,
Speaker 2: or what you're doing, what your aims in life may be.
Speaker 2: The moment you begin to talk about them, you'll find
Speaker 2: a lot of people around you with a lot of
Speaker 2: free advice, and particularly those closely related to you. When
Speaker 2: I started to organize the world's first philosophy of individual achievement,
Speaker 2: it's true that eventually I had some five hundred of
Speaker 2: the most outstanding men of America who gave freely from
Speaker 2: their experiences in order to help me complete this philosophy.
Speaker 2: But all of those five hundred combined were nothing in
Speaker 2: comparison with the free advice that I got from my
Speaker 2: immediate family. Here I was doing twenty years of research
Speaker 2: with the most intelligent brains in the world helping me out,
Speaker 2: and still two or three members of my family thought
Speaker 2: they could tell me more about what I was doing,
Speaker 2: more about its weaknesses than could all of those five
Speaker 2: hundred men combined.

Speaker 2: And the advice was free. Of course I didn't have
Speaker 2: to take it. Of course I didn't take it. If
Speaker 2: I had taken it, I wouldn't be here tonight talking
Speaker 2: to you about this business of accurate thinking. I had
Speaker 2: to learn to go on my own to do some
Speaker 2: thinking of my own. Accurate thinking, and accurate thinkers permit
Speaker 2: no one to do their thinking for them. If you're
Speaker 2: going to be an accurate thinker in the strict sense
Speaker 2: of that term, you have got to get into the
Speaker 2: habit of becoming responsible for your own thinking and your
Speaker 2: own opinions and your own ideas. It's all right to
Speaker 2: seek information from other people. Get all the knowledge you can,
Speaker 2: get all the facts you can. But in the final analysis,
Speaker 2: don't let anybody make up your mind for you about anything.
Speaker 2: Is that clear enough? Or shall I state it over?
Speaker 2: Pretty clear? Isn't it? Don't let anybody make up your
Speaker 2: mind for you about anything. Reserve unto yourself the last
Speaker 2: word in your thinking. If you let others think for you,
Speaker 2: you are taking the path of least resistance, like those
Speaker 2: rivers I mentioned in a previous broadcast, and meandering without
Speaker 2: self control, taking a crooked path. Don't be silly enough, though,
Speaker 2: to think that you can do accurate thinking without some
Speaker 2: help from the outside. Many times you'll have to have
Speaker 2: a lot of outside help. That's why we have the
Speaker 2: mastermind principle. Mister Edison was the most important and the
Speaker 2: most successful inventor the world has ever known. His inventions
Speaker 2: were based upon thinking. But before he could think accurately,
Speaker 2: he had to have the scientific knowledge in brains and
Speaker 2: education of men who helped him do his thinking, who
Speaker 2: supplied the facts. He put those facts together in new combinations.
Speaker 2: It's all right for you to seek information, but when
Speaker 2: you get that information, you must submit it to the
Speaker 2: law of logic. You must submit it to the law
Speaker 2: of evidence, and make sure that when you make a decision,
Speaker 2: the facts that you have accepted are real facts and
Speaker 2: not merely hearsay evidence. Hearsay evidence is secondhand evidence you
Speaker 2: cannot get to the bottom of, and it is inherently unreliable.
Speaker 2: If you follow literally what I am suggesting to you,
Speaker 2: you can see readily that you're going to have to
Speaker 2: rearrange some of your habits. Matter of fact, you have
Speaker 2: to rearrange radically some of your habits of thinking. You'll
Speaker 2: have to read your newspaper a little bit more carefully.
Speaker 2: You'll have to read it with a question mark in
Speaker 2: your mind. You'll have to question the things that you read.
Speaker 2: You'll have to quit this business of being influenced by
Speaker 2: what the gossiping neighbors say, and do a lot more
Speaker 2: thinking on your own. It's not safe to form opinions
Speaker 2: based upon newspaper reports. I see by the papers is
Speaker 2: a prefatory remark, usually branding the speaker as a snap
Speaker 2: judgment thinker I see by the papers, or I hear
Speaker 2: tell or they say. When anybody starts volunteering information supposed
Speaker 2: to be facts based upon those prefatory remarks, just close
Speaker 2: up your ears and pay no attention unless you have
Speaker 2: some supporting evidence, and you'll get along very much better
Speaker 2: in your thinking than you have been doing in the past.
Speaker 2: Scandalmongers and gossipers are not reliable sources from which to
Speaker 2: procure facts on any subject. Scandalmongers gossipers did you ever
Speaker 2: hear of any? Of course, you don't have any here
Speaker 2: in your town, But in some communities they do have them.
Speaker 2: I meet them in almost every community I go to,
Speaker 2: and among all facets of people except my own audience.
Speaker 2: Of course, they're above and beyond the business of passing
Speaker 2: on scandal and gossiping small talk. Oh, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of fun in gossiping. I hear some gossip oftentimes that
Speaker 2: I get a great kick out of, especially when it's
Speaker 2: about myself. Then I know more about the subject than
Speaker 2: the person doing the gossiping. But that doesn't make any difference.
Speaker 2: The gossipers will talk. But if you're going to be
Speaker 2: scared off of your line of duty, or off of
Speaker 2: your activities, or off of your plan or purpose in
Speaker 2: life by what the gossipers say, ladies and gentlemen, you
Speaker 2: might as well not start anything, because you won't get anywhere.
Speaker 2: A long time ago, there was a man who passed
Speaker 2: this way, a very gentle soul who came to the
Speaker 2: world for the purpose of seeing if he could do
Speaker 2: something to soften the nature of mankind and make men
Speaker 2: live together a little bit more peacefully. He didn't get
Speaker 2: along so very well in the face of these gossipers
Speaker 2: and scandal mongers and small talk people. They didn't all
Speaker 2: accept him. They killed him, But the spirit of Jesus
Speaker 2: survived and changed the world in immeasurable ways. You'll not
Speaker 2: be accepted. The moment your head sticks up above the
Speaker 2: crowd in any sort of undertaking, the gossipers will begin
Speaker 2: to take you apart, take you down to size. If
Speaker 2: you let them do it. But if you're an accurate thinker,
Speaker 2: you'll pay no attention to what is said about You'll
Speaker 2: pay more attention to seeing that the unkind things said
Speaker 2: about you are not true, and that's your entire responsibility.
Speaker 2: If you're an accurate thinker, beyond that, you'll pay no
Speaker 2: attention to what people say. Wishes are often fathers to facts.
Speaker 2: Did you know that? Had you ever thought about that?
Speaker 2: I wonder if you've ever been guilty of fathering facts
Speaker 2: through wishes? Hopeful wishing, they call it. Sometimes most people
Speaker 2: have a bad habit of assuming facts to harmonize with
Speaker 2: their desires. One of the easiest things to do upon
Speaker 2: the face of this earth is to assume facts to
Speaker 2: fit the nature of what you want to do. Wishes
Speaker 2: can only be converted to facts by taking action, not
Speaker 2: merely assuming. I once had the experience of interviewing, over
Speaker 2: an extended period of time, the late gangster Al Capone.
Speaker 2: I was astounded to know that, far from him having
Speaker 2: been a criminal offending the law and the people of
Speaker 2: this country, he believed he was a very much maligned man.
Speaker 2: He claimed Uncle Sam's long nose had been stuck into
Speaker 2: a legitimate business that he was conducting. He said it
Speaker 2: was legitimate. He said that by selling whiskey during prohibition,
Speaker 2: he was merely selling a thirst quencher to people who
Speaker 2: were thirsty. They were paying for it, they were glad
Speaker 2: to have it, and Uncle Sam should have kept his
Speaker 2: nose out of his legitimate business. He had sold himself
Speaker 2: that idea. He had convinced himself that he was being
Speaker 2: very much maligned by the law. I have never yet
Speaker 2: met a person, a criminal, a person breaking the law,
Speaker 2: that hadn't sold himself the idea that he was well
Speaker 2: within the law, well within his rights, and the law
Speaker 2: had no reason or right to touch him. It's one
Speaker 2: of the easiest things in the world to justify what
Speaker 2: you're doing in life. And if you don't watch yourself,
Speaker 2: you'll justify yourself beyond the point of reason if you're
Speaker 2: not an accurate thinker. Information is abundant, and most of
Speaker 2: it is free, but facts have an elusive nature, and
Speaker 2: generally there is a price attached to them. Somebody asked
Speaker 2: me not long ago, why I didn't just go about
Speaker 2: the country teaching this philosophy free of charge, not charging
Speaker 2: anything for it. If I didn't need to make any money,
Speaker 2: do you know what I said to that person? I said,
Speaker 2: do you belong to a church? He said, why, yes,
Speaker 2: sure I do. I said, do you go to church?
Speaker 2: And he said yes sometimes. I said, is your church
Speaker 2: always filled on Sunday morning? Oh? No, oh no, he said,
Speaker 2: very few of the seats are filled. And I said,
Speaker 2: do you know what's wrong with the churches? He said no,
Speaker 2: I don't know whether there's anything wrong with them or not.
Speaker 2: I said, have you ever attended one of my lectures?
Speaker 2: He said, yes, I attended all of your lectures here
Speaker 2: up to the present time. This man, by the way,
Speaker 2: lives in this community. I said, did you notice that
Speaker 2: on the opening night of our radio broadcasts in Paris, Missouri,
Speaker 2: one of the worst nights of the winter, that people
Speaker 2: came from as far away as sixty five miles. They
Speaker 2: showed up, They were all there. The room was entirely
Speaker 2: filled and overflowing. Did you notice that? He said, yes,
Speaker 2: I did. And I wondered about it. I wondered how
Speaker 2: you did it. I said, well, I'll tell you how
Speaker 2: I did it. I did it by charging them. That's how.
Speaker 2: If I were running a church, I think probably i'd
Speaker 2: place a price on each pew and make them pay.
Speaker 2: The trouble with the churches is that they let em
Speaker 2: get away without paying. Everything that's worth while in this world,
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen should have a price upon it, and
Speaker 2: does have a price upon it in one way or another.
Speaker 2: The things that you give away absolutely free, people usually
Speaker 2: value about as much as they pay for them. One question,
Speaker 2: how do you know? Is the favorite question of the
Speaker 2: accurate thinker. When the thinker hears somebody make a statement
Speaker 2: that he questions as being said, he immediately says, in
Speaker 2: his mind, or openly and orally to the other man,
Speaker 2: how do you know. If you'll get in the habit
Speaker 2: of using that little sentence more often, you'll be surprised
Speaker 2: at how many times you put speakers over the barrel,
Speaker 2: because there are so many people that make statements about
Speaker 2: things that they can't back up, and they can't give
Speaker 2: you a satisfactory reason as to how they made the
Speaker 2: statement or why how do you know? We don't ask
Speaker 2: this question often enough. I was lecturing once on this subject,
Speaker 2: and one of my listeners, who perhaps didn't lean too
Speaker 2: much toward the religious side, said, doctor Hill, I don't
Speaker 2: want to embarrass you. I said, you go right ahead,
Speaker 2: my friend. If you can embarrass me, you're really good,
Speaker 2: because I've not been embarrassed even by experts. He said,
Speaker 2: Suppose that I asked you that question, how do you know?
Speaker 2: And I asked you if you believed in God, that
Speaker 2: there was a God, and asked you, how do you know,
Speaker 2: wouldn't you be in a fix? I said, my friend.
Speaker 2: If there is one one thing in this universe in
Speaker 2: connection with which there is more evidence of the existence
Speaker 2: of than anything else, it is the existence of a God.
Speaker 2: I wouldn't perhaps describe the god that you describe. I
Speaker 2: might not call him by the name that you call
Speaker 2: him by, but I'd be talking about the same thing.
Speaker 2: Because if you want evidence of a first cause, a planner,
Speaker 2: an overall plan being carried out, you'll find it in
Speaker 2: every atom of matter. You'll find it in every planet,
Speaker 2: in every sun that's floating through our universe. You'll find
Speaker 2: it in every human being, in everything that grows out
Speaker 2: of the ground, all orderly going on according to an
Speaker 2: overall plan. Overall plans, my friend, do not create themselves.
Speaker 2: Then I took my wristwatch off, and I said, I
Speaker 2: have here a very accurate, dependable watch. If I took
Speaker 2: this watch apart, took the wheels apart, poured them into
Speaker 2: my hat, and shook them from now until doomsday. They
Speaker 2: would never reassemble in the form of a watch that
Speaker 2: would keep time, would they? He said, No, they wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I said, but if I took them to a watchmaker
Speaker 2: who started out with a plan, who understood watches, he
Speaker 2: could put those wills back and make them work again,
Speaker 2: couldn't he? He said, yes, he could. I said. There
Speaker 2: is no workable and working thing in the whole universe
Speaker 2: that does not have intelligence back of it. And that
Speaker 2: intelligence is what you call God. I call it infinite intelligence.
Speaker 2: That's my way, ladies and gentlemen, of proving to myself
Speaker 2: that there is a first cause, and there's plenty of
Speaker 2: evidence to back it up. Speaking of being guided by
Speaker 2: logic as one of the three factors that go into
Speaker 2: accurate thinking, I want to show you how I applied
Speaker 2: that in connection with a circumstance. Some years ago, one
Speaker 2: of my students came to me with a manuscript of
Speaker 2: a book, a child's book that she had written. It
Speaker 2: was a well written book, and she had very crudely
Speaker 2: illustrated it with cats and dogs and crows, and birds
Speaker 2: and horses and chickens and things into whose mouths she
Speaker 2: had placed the words in the book. In other words,
Speaker 2: she had these birds and cats and dogs and animals
Speaker 2: talking to one another, and she'd worked it up into
Speaker 2: a dialogue. It was really a clever thing. But she
Speaker 2: had taken these pictures. She cut them out of the
Speaker 2: Seer's Roebucks catalog, and out of the Ladies Home Journal,
Speaker 2: and from here there and the other place, and they
Speaker 2: were very crude. Also, the grammar of her book was
Speaker 2: very poor. The idea was first class. She came to
Speaker 2: me just prior to giving this book to a printer
Speaker 2: who had sold her on the idea of having a
Speaker 2: number of copies of it printed, for which he was
Speaker 2: charging her two thousand, five hundred dollars. Not having the
Speaker 2: two thousand, five hundred dollars, she borrowed one thousand, five
Speaker 2: hundred dollars of it from her relatives, and the other
Speaker 2: thousand she had. When I broke the subject down, I said,
Speaker 2: if you allow that printer to have those books printed,
Speaker 2: all you'll have will be some books that you can
Speaker 2: store down in the basement. If you want to be
Speaker 2: an accurate thinker and use logic. You'll go to s
Speaker 2: somebody who will correct that grammar, an artist who will
Speaker 2: draw the right kind of drawings, and then you will
Speaker 2: take the book to an established publisher who has a
