How to Think Better & Grow Richer
Working Draft - Dec.29, 2005

To apply the principles of How to Think Better & Grow Richer you need to choose a sport. Sport originally meant to (des) carry (porto) away. Loosely, it meant to carry away from work. Often, work is considered what one has to do, such as earn a living. Play or sport, on the other hand, is what you want to do for its intrinsic value and joy.  Outstanding results often occur when a person considers his or her business venture, occupation, mission, goal, work, or challenge to be a sport.

Here is an acronym to help you understand what a sport involves:

S - system - score

P - principles - points - profit

O - objectives - opportunities - organized - order - operations

R - responsive - rules

T - talent - teachable - team

It is important to choose a sport you enjoy. Time and energy spent in your chosen sport is not considered a cost, but rather a desire. That means you can become fully engaged in applying the principles of How to Think Better & Grow Richer.

If you value true health (living longer without degenerative disease) and true wealth (having the resources to do what you yearn to do) then USANA might be your ideal sport. Because you will be part of a team, you will be able to concentrate on playing your strengths while other team members with their strengths make a complete whole.

Principles are cause and effect relationships. Knowing and applying principles gives you the power to achieve what you want. The history of the world and the biographies of successful people are full of examples of how the discovery and use of principles resulted in great accomplishments. That was the basis of Napoleon Hill's book on How to Think & Grow Rich. He interviewed the top self-made millionaires of his time and discovered the principles they used to become wealthy. It is important to realize that the more principles you understand and use in your life the greater your probability of success will be. To help you learn how principles increase your probability of success, try the following activity:

What is intelligence? I believe the best, most useful, definition of true intelligence is:

 the ability to learn and apply true principles to reach desired goals/purpose. Unless you know a person’s priority purposes, how could you determine what his or her intelligence was or how to increase that intelligence? What if you purpose was to become a great pianist? What would be the best intelligence to have? What about a great hunter or engineer or distance runner? Now you can see why the above definition of intelligence is so useful: the ability to learn and apply true principles to reach your goals/purpose.
