If you must slander someone don't speak it, but write it - write it in the sand, near the water's edge! Napoleon Hill. |
XII. CO-OPERATION will teach you the value of team-work
in all you do. In this lesson you will be taught how to apply the law of the
"Master Mind" described in this Introduction and in Lesson Two of this
course. This lesson will show you how to co-ordinate your own efforts with
those of others, in such a manner that friction, jealousy, strife, envy and
cupidity will be eliminated. You will learn how to make use of all that
other people have learned about the work in which you are engaged.
XIII. PROFITING BY FAILURE will teach you how to make stepping stones out of all of your past and future mistakes 28 and failures. It will teach you the difference between "failure" and "temporary defeat," a difference which is very great and very important. It will teach you how to profit by your own failures and by the failures of other people.
XIV. TOLERANCE will teach you how to avoid the disastrous effects of racial and religious prejudices which mean defeat for millions of people who permit themselves to become entangled in foolish argument over these subjects, thereby poisoning their own minds and closing the door to reason and investigation.
This lesson is the twin sister of the one on ACCURATE THOUGHT, for the reason that no one may become an Accurate Thinker without practicing tolerance. Intolerance closes the book of Knowledge and writes on the cover, "Finis! I have learned it all!" Intolerance makes enemies of those who should be friends. It destroys opportunity and fills the mind with doubt, mistrust and prejudice.
XV. PRACTICING THE GOLDEN RULE will teach you how to make use of this great universal law of human conduct in such a manner that you may easily get harmonious cooperation from any individual or group of individuals. Lack of understanding of the law upon which the Golden Rule philosophy is based is one of the major causes of failure of millions of people who remain in misery, poverty and want all their lives.
This lesson has nothing whatsoever to do with religion in any form, nor with sectarianism, nor have any of the other lessons of this course on the Law of Success.
When you have mastered these Fifteen Laws and made them your own, as you may do within a period of from fifteen to thirty weeks, you will be ready to develop sufficient personal power to insure the attainment of your Definite Chief Aim.
