Rule #2: Decide definitely what you want from life; then create a plan for attaining it and be willing to sacrifice everything else, if necessary, rather than accept permanent defeat. Throughout the book, Hill emphasizes the idea of personal responsibility and the power of individual choice. He argues that we have the ability to decide whether to submit to the Devil's influence or to resist it and pursue our own path to success and freedom. This show is part of the Carnival of Shadows season, celebrating 20 years of Khan’s company. In that time he has gone from an audaciously talented young dancer, creating a new language combining kathak and contemporary dance, to a globally in-demand choreographer, making experimental dance-theatre that premieres at the big European festivals. Reworking myths is his prime pursuit and, with dramaturg Ruth Little, the method seems to be to peel away layers of theme or narrative with the aim of leaving something raw underneath. Mr. Devil: It all started thousands of years ago when people began to think. I plant my seeds of fear in the minds of people and force them to perceive these sensations as if they are their own creation. Someone might call it a deft maneuver, but it’s simply a good strategy to maintain control.
Flattery doesn't effect non-drifters. Drifters love it, they love vanity and egotism. Reminds me of the book "you are loved" with the dots and stars. Rule #3: Analyze temporary defeat, no matter what nature or cause, and extract from it the seed of an equivalent advantage.
The book title ‘Outwitting The Devil’ will trigger some, and challenge others. The choice is yours on how to approach this vital read.
During that time, Napoleon conducted the largest success study ever undertaken by someone. Most of its findings are incorporated into his bestselling books: Take the reins confidently, don't drift later. Many have definitiveness of purpose, but lose sight and drift after success. Rule #9: Recognize that life is a cruel taskmaster and that either you master it or it masters you. There is no halfway or compromising point. Never accept from life anything you do not want. If that which you do not want is temporarily forced upon you, you can refuse, in your own mind, to accept it and it will make way for the thing you do want. I had read another book from Napoleon Hill - Think And Grow Rich - in 2014 (over six years ago), and it impacted me at the time.
With this in mind, it’s crystal clear as to why we find “ Outwitting the Devil” to be a good fit for the broader audience.Rule #10: Lastly, remember that your dominating thoughts attract, through a definite law of nature, by the shortest and most convenient route, their physical counterpart. Be careful what your thoughts dwell upon.
If you're facing adversity or in the middle of a life change, this is a great book to read. A great challenge to your mindset on whatever it is you are currently facing. Some takeaways: Negative desires are frustrations of positive desires because of defeat, failure, or neglect of positive harmony of nature's laws. All space is filled with something. Mr. Devil: I would say that there’s no greater enemy than yourself. Even I have no power over those who clearly understand the power of positive thought. Napoleon Hill is renowned for his endeavors in the pursuit of truth and finding the formula for success. Law of compensation, Ralph Waldo Emerson, in his essay, "Compensation," wrote that each person is compensated in like manner for that which he or she has contributed. The Law of Compensation is another restatement of the Law of Sowing and Reaping. It says that you will always be compensated for your efforts and for your contribution, whatever it is, however much or however little.Kimberley Mosher. Book Review: 'Outwitting the Devil', after over 70 years on TNGG // The Next Generation, June 18, 2011. Developing and applying imagination : The power of imagination enables individuals to visualize their goals and develop creative solutions to the challenges they face. By nurturing their imagination and applying it to their endeavors, people can overcome the limitations imposed by the Devil. But to what end? Well, who knows. Outwitting the Devil is inspired by the 4,000-year-old epic of Gilgamesh, about a demigod seeking immortality after the death of his friend and failing to achieve it. Gilgamesh, we assume, is the white-haired François Testory (a one-time dancer with Lindsay Kemp) and represented in his older years. Perhaps at one point he’s also Jessop. Is that body on the floor Gilgamesh’s friend Enkidu or the guardian of the cedar forest? Maybe no actor is meant to be anyone in particular. Bharata natyam dancer Mythili Prakash certainly looks like a powerful god. What there seems to be is death, grief, screams, some animals, a man who looks like he’s melting and a continually shifting sense of action and identity. Wisdom is the ability to relate yourself to nature's laws so they can serve you. And the ability to relate to other people to gain their cooperation to make life what it can be" (not exact) Understand that not having a plan, is a plan by itself. Just not a good one. If you don’t have the destination of where you want to go in mind, then you will just let the wind decide instead.
