 But
the basic lesson that this riddle teaches is that we tend to
jump to conclusions based on the presumption that what is real,
is only what has been discovered by us / our tribe.
It
also teaches that there is an objective reality regardless of
our beliefs - i.e. Mount Everest continues to be the tallest
mountain in the world, whether you and I know about it.
When
it comes to knowledge of personal development, it's just the same.
There
are certain towering principles that make our life work at a whole
new level - more effectively, more enjoyably, more easily - whether
we have discovered them or not.
Like
Everest, they are the highest ideas in our world and are accessed
only by a rare few courageous individuals who dare.
Just
what are these towering principles?
This
is what this free online self-actualization course here reveals.
My name is John Angheli, and I've spent the last decade of my life
in the pursuit of the science of high achievement.
Some
of these principles (like on the self-actualization motivation for
example), were discovered by doing a comprehensive literature review
research project of the two most important research projects
into the nature of Peak Achievement of the 20th century - the research
works of Dr. Abraham Maslow and Dr. Napoleon Hill.
This
project sought to discover the principles common between these two
researchers and create a unified theory from their works... i.e.

Dr. Hill's 'Street Smarts'
and Dr. Maslow's 'Academic Smarts'
Is a Highly Trustworthy Road Map to Greatness
A
Short Story
Napoleon
Hill's history itself is a fascinating example of what is possible
when applying these principles.
His
journey to greatness, in putting together the world's first practical
philosophy of success, in becoming the most influential teacher
of personal development (with some of the most successful people
in the world as his students) and having one of the biggest selling
books of last century - all began from the most unlikely of beginnings.
 Mr.
Hill could quite easily have been just another journalist, working
for a small-town newspaper in Wise County, Virginia - if it wasn't
for an encounter with a man named Andrew Carnegie.
Mr.
Carnegie was a businessman who became the richest man in the
world early on in the last century (at his highest having created
a fortune in today's figures of $298.3 billion dollars). Once having
got there, he then spent the remainder of his life giving
away his fortune in charitable projects:
like building libraries, world peace foundations and educational
institutions.
What
is most remarkable about Carnegie, is that he was born in a
very poor working class family. He lacked to begin with, many
of the resources most think are necessary for even modest success
- like a formal education or social connections. His first
job was to change spools of thread in a cotton mill, working twelve
hours a day, six days a week for $1.25.
In
his childhood though, he saw the humiliation his dad had to endure
at the mercy of the economy, how he had to beg for work, and so
early on, he decided to become rich,
by the power of his will. And
as history has shown, he did it with spectacular results.
Carnegie
met Hill during an interview session. Hill initially worked as a
journalist and had a fascination with what made others successful
in life. During the meeting, Carnegie suggested that if he was
really serious about the philosophy of success, that he should undertake
a massive research project and systematically identify the principles
responsible, like it had never been done before in history.
Since
he had contacts with the most powerful and successful people in
USA at the time, Carnegie offered himself to arrange the necessary
connections - so that Hill could interview them, and where possible,
to follow them around, and observe just what makes them tick -
i.e. what makes them great.
 Carnegie
himself knew that high achievement isn't an accident, nor
something reserved for 'extraordinary talents', nor 'lucky breaks'.
There
are certain laws of the universe, that when applied, when harnessed,
they create success with undeniable certainty and causality
- just like any of the physical laws that have launched the technological
revolution of the last millennium.
After
all, he was a living example of what is possible with their
application.
Carnegie
already intuitively knew about the principles that were responsible
for his prosperity, but wanted to commission the creation of a reliable
and comprehensive study into the matter - as to create the first
practical philosophy for success.
He
wanted to know what principles were observable universally, across
a large number of high achievers, to ensure consistency and not
just a collection of personal opinions.
So
he enlisted Mr. Hill into the project, essentially on the basis
of his enthusiasm and ability to quickly and resolutely decide.
Soon
enough though, Mr. Hill began to doubt his ability - that he perhaps
chose the wrong person for the task, because he was young, lacked
the education and lacked the finances to even support himself during
this long project.
It
was then that Mr. Carnegie began coaching Mr Hill on 'the self-actualization
motivation', what he has learned about success in life, and delivered
an unforgettable lecture that changed Hill's entire life. He began
with this:
“Let
me call to your attention a great power, which is under your control.
A power that is greater than poverty, greater than the lack of education,
greater than all your fears and superstitions combined – it is the
power to take control of your own mind and direct it to whatever
ends you may desire.
This
profound power is the gift of the Creator, and it must have been
considered the greatest of all of his gifts to man, because it is
the only thing over which man has the complete and unchallengeable
right of control and direction."
In
fact, what Mr. Carnegie revealed to Mr Hill next, caused him to
set a range of goals so far above his previous achievements, that
it literally shocked his friends and relatives when they
first heard about them.
But
what's more impressive, is that he, like Mr. Carnegie, fulfilled
all of the goals he set - further confirming the power these principles
have when applied.
 Just
what did Mr. Carnegie reveal to Mr. Hill that made the difference?
Well,
this is the subject of our whole course here online.
But
before we begin, you may like to explore just what
I mean by the self-actualization motivation more indepth; or
as Abraham Maslow first
explained self-actualization in one of his most famous articles;
or self-actualization's
historical use throughout the 20th century; or perhaps you'd
like to know a bit more
about my research...
There's
quite a bit of learning material here, but remember - the really
'good stuff' is on the inside. Sign up below and the course will
immediately begin.
It's absolutely free! No catch!
Enjoy,
with
love,
