Let us consider Mohandas K. Gandhi (Mahatma is a Hindu title of respect meaning “great-souled”) was born in 1869 and assassinated by an Indian extremist in 1948. Considered the Father of His Country,”
he led the Indian nationalist movement for independence from British rule. His philosophy of nonviolent civil disobedience has been widely influential, especially on the civil rights movement in the United
States. Albert Einstein said this about him The moral influence which Gandhi has exercised upon thinking people maybe far more durable than would appear likely in our present age, with its exaggeration of brute force. We are fortunate and grateful that fate has bestowed upon us so luminous a contemporary, a beacon to generations to come To Hill, Gandhi was the modern epitome of the power of an idea—and the human mind—to change the world.

Moreover—and Throughout this discussion, Hill uncannily foreshadows modern participatory management, labor-management

teams, productivity programs and profit sharing—just about the whole scope of modern management theory and practice.

If you have any doubt Napoleon Hill obviously was not superstitious,
having no qualms about the number 13. It is certainly possible that he chose it intentionally as an attention-grabber, although, more likely, it was simply the number of the most basic success principles he arrived at after distilling his years of research and analysis down to the most elemental level. One can almost hear him emphatically saying,
“Well, if 13 is how many principles there are, then 13 they shall be!”
While Hill at times exhibits mystical qualities, he is first and foremost a rationalist. He states emphatically in Chapter 13: “ I am not a believer in nor an advocate of miracles for the reason that I have enough knowledge of Nature to understand that Nature never deviates
from her established laws. Some of her laws are so incomprehensible that they produce what appear to be ‘miracles.’”
