I Am Normal

June 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment

My life was never easy. Diagnosed with depression and anxiety when I was 17 years old, I have been living a life of self destruction, suicidal thoughts and darkness. My depression is partly genetic as my mum suffers from it too and partly environmental because of the way I grew up. My mother, younger sister and I were victims of physical and verbal abuse at the hands of my father. I grew up thinking that it was normal to be abused, that I never deserved to be loved and that I would never amount to anything. I am 30 years old now and although the physical pain goes away, being called stupid and worthless since childhood never does. I trained myself to never expect anything like love or a relationship because those were things that happened to “normal” people, not me.

Think And Grow Rich

January 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment

Probably the most well-known book about creating wealth also happens to be one of the best, if not the best. Think and Grow Rich was written by Napolean Hill in 1960 at the behest of Andrew Carnegie.

Carnegie, who amassed his fortune in steel, is one of the richest people to have ever lived; the book contains his secret for creating wealth. Think and Grow Rich is one of the best-selling books of all time. It is now in its twentieth printing.

Among the people who used Carnegie’s secret in their own endeavors are Henry Ford, Charles Schwab, Theodore Roosevelt, Wilbur Wright, John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison, Woodrow Wilson, and Alexander Graham Bell.
