The most momentous of occasions had their start in a single momentous decision. This is the course of our lessons from Napoleon Hill most recently.
When In The Course…
The document was drawn, and on June 28, the original draft was read before the Congress. For several days it was discussed, altered, and made ready. On July 4, 1776, Thomas Jefferson stood before the Assembly, and fearlessly read the most momentous decision ever placed on paper.
“When in the course of human events it is necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature, and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation…”
The Privilege To Decide
When Jefferson finished, the document was voted on, accepted, and signed by the fifty-six men, every one staking his own life upon his decision to write his name. By that decision came into existence a nation destined to bring to mankind forever, the privilege of making decisions.
By decisions made in a similar spirit of Faith, and only by such decisions, can men solve their personal problems, and win for themselves high estates of material and spiritual wealth. Let us not forget this!
Analyze the events which led to the Declaration of Independence, and be convinced that this nation, which now holds a position of commanding respect and power among all nations of the world, was born of a decision created by a Master Mind, consisting of fifty-six men. Note well, the fact that it was their decision which insured the success of Washington’s armies, because the spirit of that decision was in the heart of every soldier who fought with him, and served as a spiritual power which recognizes no such thing as failure.
Born Of Decision
We all have the right and privilege to decide our own future (and fortunes!) for ourselves. That is precisely the lesson that Napoleon Hill wants us to learn, so that we can take that decision and make a better future for ourselves and those we support.
How would you like to make $1,000 without investing any money, risking anything, meeting lots of people, learning in the process and possibly having a bucket load of fun?

Tomorrow I head east for the next Adelaide Internet Marketing session. I’m really looking forward to this one, especially because I’m bringing my wife along and get to catch up with many of my YOTA Forum clients on Saturday night. There is nothing quite like a few quiet drinks in a piano bar amongst good [...]
The next selection from Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich teaches us something about maximising the opportunities that we create through our dedicated decision-making processes. This lesson comes also from those characters of the American Revolution.
Maximum Opportunity
Before the first meeting of the new Congress, another leader, in a different section of the country, was deep in the process of publishing a “Summary View of the Rights of British America.” He was Thomas Jefferson, of the Province of Virginia, whose relationship to Lord Dunmore, (representative of the Crown in Virginia), was as strained as that of Hancock and Adams with their Governor.
To recap, when we last left Napoleon Hill he was imparting to us some important lessons from U.S. history and some historical figures who were, and still are, of unquestionable character.
Uncharacteristic Loyalty
There seems to be no need for commenting on the character of this man. It must be obvious to all who read this astounding message that its sender possessed loyalty of the highest order. This is important.
When Governor Gage received Adams’ caustic reply, he flew into a rage, and issued a proclamation which read, “I do, hereby, in his majesty’s name, offer and promise his most gracious pardon to all persons who shall forthwith lay down their arms, and return to the duties of peaceable subjects, excepting only from the benefit of such pardon, Samuel Adams and John Hancock, whose offences are of too flagitious a nature to admit of any other consideration but that of condign punishment.”
History lives on, on both sides of the ocean. The birth of America was not an overnight sensation, as Napoleon Hill continues to illustrate here.
More Historical Materminding
Meanwhile, the British were not idle. They, too, were doing some planning and “Master-Minding” on their own account, with the advantage of having money to back them and organized soldiery.
The Crown appointed Gage to supplant Hutchinson as the Governor of Massachusetts. One of the new Governor’s first acts was to send a messenger to call on Samuel Adams, for the purpose of endeavoring to stop his opposition—by fear.
It was great to speak to the great people of Sydney again. I presented my Sydney Internet Marketing session on stage for Think And Grow Rich Events. It amazes me to think; every time I arrive in an Aussie State Capital City, I like it as my favourite city on that [...]
Our lessons in U.S. history—in the history of the birth of a nation and the power of a people behind it—continue today, with the continued story of the birth of America.
Powerful Demands
Before the Assembly adjourned, Samuel Adams was appointed to call on the Governor of the Province, Hutchinson, and demand the withdrawal of the British troops.
The request was granted; the troops were removed from Boston, but the incident was not closed. It had caused a situation destined to change the entire trend of civilization. Strange, isn’t it, how the great changes, such as the American Revolution, and the First World War, often have their beginnings in circumstances which seem unimportant?
It’s time for me to travel across the country to Sydney for another internet marketing session. I am quite enjoying the challenge of speaking to a crowd of 300+ people about my favourite topic: Internet Marketing. It’s always nice to have a captive audience that want to learn the subjects I speak about.
