Major Causes of Failure - Part3

The long-time-enduring classic book Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill has been called "a textbook that should be studied, digested, and meditated upon."

In the book, Mr. Hill identifies 30 major causes of failure in life/career.

Here is the last set of 10 (previous 20 - see Sept. 5th, 12th entries):

* Lack of enthusiasm

* The habit of indiscriminate spending

* Intolerance - a "closed" mind seldom gets ahead

* Intemperance - over indulgence is fatal to success

* Inability to cooperate with others

* Possession of power which was not acquired through self-effort

* Intentional dishonesty

* Egotism and vanity - fatal to success!

* Guessing instead of thinking - acquire facts to think

* Lack of capital

Winners are great at avoiding the major causes of failure.
