This is a book that my father had around the house my entire life. It was small so i would pick it up and read a little bit from time to time. It was a fictional story about a rich merchant in the middle east circa 0 BCE who, upon getting of retirement age, tells his most trusted advisor the secret to his success. He has a chest of scrolls that show the secrets of doing good business and getting rich.
The middle part of the book are the actual scrolls, and if you go by what the book says, you are supposed to read the first scroll 2 times a day for 30 days before moving on to the next scroll. Obviously, being young i didn't have that type of commitement to growing myself into a super salesman, so i just read it how you normally would. Same diference.
I'm gonna cheat and summarize each scroll here. Holla.
I - today i begin a new life, filled with opportunities.
II - I will greet this day with love in my heart.
III - I will persisit until I succeed.
IV - I am a unique creature of nature. I am nature's greatest miracle.
V - I will live this day as if it is my last.
VI - Today I will be master of my emotions.
VII - I will laugh at the world. I will cultivate a habit of laughter.
VIII - Today i will multiply my value a hundredfold (I guess this one is the real KEY, huh? What it means is to focus on your goals all day everyday)
IX - My dreams are worthless unless they are followed by action. I will act now.
X - I will not pray for material things, I will pray for guidance.
It's a small book, only 111 pages long. Enjoy.
