(With thanks to Bob Proctor and Lanny Morton for generously providing access to this material!!) Napoleon Hill (author of Think and Grow Rich) is in Andrew Carnegie's home. At the time of the interview Napoleon Hill is still a young reporter for a magazine -- and Andrew Carnegie is the wealthiest man in the world. Napoleon Hill: Mr Carnegie, most of the people I know, those who work for wages, or a salary, claim they are already doing more work than for which they are being paid. If this is true, why aren't they doing a better job of influencing the wheel of fortune on their behalf to a greater extent? Why aren't they rich as you are? Andrew Carnegie: The answer to your question is simple enough, but it has many angles, which I need to explain before you will completely understand it. In the first place if you will accurately analyse those who work for wages, you will learn that 98 out of a 100 have no definite plan or purpose greater than working for a daily wage. Therefore, no matter how hard they work or how much they do, or how well they do it, the wheel of fortune will turn on past them without providing them more than a bare living -- because they neither expect nor demand more. Ponder over this truth for a moment and you will be better prepared to follow the logic of what I will present in the remainder of this
