THINK AND BECOME RICH

                                                APPLY THE GOLDEN RULE

                CARNEGIE : WE COME, NOW, TO THE THIRTEEN PRINCIPLE OF INDIVIDUAL ACHIEVEMENT, THE GOLDEN RULE APPLIED - THE PRINCIPLE WHICH NEARLY EVERYONE PROFESSES TO BELIEVE, BUT FEW PEOPLE PRACTICE, DUE, I SUSPECT, TO THE FACT THAT SO FEW PEOPLE UNDERSTAND THE DEEP UNDERLYING PSYCHOLOGY OF THIS PRINCIPLE. TOO MANY PEOPLE INTERPRET, THE GOLDEN RULE, NOT TO DO THEM PLENTY BEFORE OTHER DO THEM.

               OF COURSE THIS FALSE INTERPRETATION OF THIS GREAT RULE OF  HUMAN CONDUCT CAN BRING NOTHING BUT NEGATIVE RESULT!

             THE REAL BENEFITS OF THE GOLDEN RULE APPLIED DO NOT COME FROM THOSE IN WHOSE FAVOR IT APPLIED, BUT THEY ACCRUE TO THE ONE APPLYING THE RULE, IN THE FORM OF A STRENGTHENED CONSCIENCE, PEACE OF MIND, AND THE OTHER ATTRIBUTES OF SOUND CHARACTER- THE FACTORS WHICH ATTRACT THE MORE DESIRABLE THINGS OF LIFE, INCLUDING ENDURING FRIENDSHIPS AND FORTUNE.

              HILL : I ASSUME, FROM YOUR REMARKS, THAT THERE ARE FEW BENEFITS TO BE ACQUIRED THROUGH A MERE BELIEF IN THE GOLDEN RULE?

            CARNEGIE : VERY FEW! PASSIVE BELIEF IN THSI RULE WILL ACCOMPLISH NOTHING, IT IS THE APPLICATION OF THE RULE THAT BRINGS BENEFITS, AND THEY ARE SO NUMROUS AND VARIED THAT THEY TOUCH LIFE THROUGH ALMOST EVERY HUMAN RELATIONSHIP. THERE ARE SOME OF THE MORE IMPORTANT OF THE BENEFITS.

                   ❤ THE GOLDEN RULE APPLIED OPENS THE MIND FOR THE GUIDANCE OF INFINITE INTELLIGENCE, THROUGH FAITH.

                  ❤ DEVELOPS SELF- RELIANCE, THROUGH A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH ONE'S CONSCIENCE.

                  ❤ BUILDS OF SOUND CHARACTER SUFFICIENT TO SUSTAIN ONE IN TIMES OF EMERGENCY. DEVELOPS A MORE ATTRACTIVE PERSONALITY.

                 ❤ ATTRACTS THE FRIENDLY COOPERATION OF OTHERS IN ALL HUMAN RELATIONSHIPS.

                 ❤ DISCOURAGE UNFRIENDLY OPPOSITION FROM OTHERS.

                 ❤ GIVES ONE IMMUNITY AGAINST THE MORE DAMAGING FORMS OF FEAR, SINCE THE MAN WITH A CLEAR CONSCIENCE SELDOM FEARS ANYTHING OR ANYMORE.

                ❤ ENABLES ONE TO GO TO PRAYER WITH CLEAN HANDS AND CLEAR HEART.

                ❤ ATTRACTS FAVORABLE OPPORTUNITIES FOR SELF- PROMOTION IN ONE'S OCCUPATION, BUSINESS OR PROFESSTION.

                 ❤ ELIMINATE THE DESIRE FOR SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

                ❤ MAKES THE RENDERING OF USEFL SERVICE A JOY THAT CAN BE HAD IN NO OTHER WAY.

              ❤ PROVIDES ONE WITH AN INFLENTIAL REPUTATION FOR HONESTY AND  FAIR DEALING, WHICH IS THE BASIS OF ALL CONFIDENCE.

               ❤ SERVES AS A DISCOURAGEMENT TO THE SLANDER AND A REPRIMAND TO THE THIEF.

              ❤ MAKES ONE A POWER FOR GOOD, BY EXAMPLE, WHEREVER HE COMES INTO CONTRACT WITH OTHERS.

               ❤ DISCOURAGES ALL THE BEST INTRINCTS OF GREED AND ENVY AND REVENGE. AND GIVES WINGS TO THE HIGHER INSTINCTS OF LOVE AND FELLOWSHIP.

               ❤ BRINGS ONE WITHIN EASY COMMUNICATING DISTANCE OF THE CREATOR, THROUGH THE MEDIUM OF AN UNDISTURBED MIND.

               ❤ ENABLES ONE TO RECOGNIZE THE JOYS OF ACCEPTING THE TRUTH THAT EVERY MAN IS, AND BY RIGHT SHOULD BE, HIS BROTHER'S KEEPER.

                ❤ ESTABLISHES A DEEPER PERSONAL SPIRITUALITY..

             THESE ARE NO MERE OPINIONS OF MINE. THEY ARE SELF- EVIDENT TRUTHS, THE SOUNDNESS OF WHICH IS KNOWN TO EVERY PERSON WHO LIVES BY THE GOLDEN RULE AS A MATTER OF DAILY HABIT.
