Why can't I be rich?

Success is a causable event. One of the powerful principles in The NEW Think And Grow Rich is a lesson that Napoleon Hill and Ted Ciuba teach in the Authors Preface of The NEW Think And Grow Rich.

Here is how the author put it. Like all things in nature, knowledge of guiding principles gives you the potential power to harness those forces, such as knowledge of aerodynamics allows us to fly hundreds of passengers at a time on intercontinental flights.
