Law Of Attraction

a little happier, and a little better prepared to be of service to my fellow men, owing to my having applied the principle of performing more work than I was actually paid to perform. It may be of interest to you to know that the last position I held in the coal business was that of Assistant to the Chief Counsel for one of the largest companies in the world. It is a considerable jump from the position of common laborer in the coal mines to that of Assistant to the Chief Counsel of one of the largest companies - a jump that I never could have made without the aid of this principle of performing more work than I was paid to perform.

I find nothing more appropriate than the philosophy, which I have related, because I earnestly believe it was the arrogant disregard of this philosophy that brought Germany - the Kaiser and his people to grief. To get this philosophy into the hearts of those who need it I shall publish a magazine to be called Hill's Golden Rule. It takes money to publish national magazines, and I haven't very much of it at this writing; but before another month shall have passed, through the aid of the philosophy that I have tried to emphasize here, I shall find someone who will supply the necessary money and make it possible for me to pass on to the world the simple philosophy that lifted me out of the dirty coal mines and gave me a place where I can be of service to humanity.
