Think and Grow Rich

by Napoleon Hill

Let us ascertain how power may be acquired. If power is ‘organised knowledge’, let us examine the sources of knowledge: 1. INFINITE INTELLIGENCE. This source of knowledge may be contacted through the procedure described in Chapter 6, with the aid of Creative Imagination. 2. ACCUMULATED EXPERIENCE. The accumulated experience of humankind (or that portion of it which has been organised and recorded) may be found in any well-equipped public library. An important part of this accumulated experience is taught in schools and colleges, where it has been classified and organised. 3. EXPERIMENT AND RESEARCH. In the field of science, and in practically every other walk of life, people are gathering, classifying and organising new facts daily. This is the source to which one must turn when knowledge is not available through ‘accumulated experience’. Here, too, the Creative Imagination must often be used.
