In
his final lesson in Law
of Success, Napolean
Hill discusses “the Golden Rule”, and how he believes it to be the driving
force in gaining success. “The Golden Rule” is defined as “the guiding star
that will enable you to profitably and constructively use the knowledge
assembled in the previous lessons".
To
put it simply, following this law is the only way to apply the power that the
preceding lessons provide. The universal
definition of “The Golden Rule” is to do unto others as you would wish them to
do unto you if your positions were reversed. This must be taken very seriously,
as Hill stresses the fact that all of your actions and thoughts will come back
to you, for better or worse. It is not enough to merely believe in the philosophy
of the Golden Rule, but rather one must apply it.
The
primary key to this lesson is that the Golden Rule, when understood and
applied, makes dishonesty, selfishness, greed, envy, hatred and malice
impossible to maintain. One must be blatantly honest, and realize you are only
punishing yourself by every wrong you commit, and rewarding yourself by every
act of constructive conduct.
