Principle: The Sixth Sense
This unique principle provided by the author can be described best by his own words. "THE 'thirteenth' principle is known as the SIXTH SENSE, through
which Infinite Intelligence may, and will communicate voluntarily,
without any effort from, or demands by, the individual.
This principle is the apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated,
understood, and applied ONLY by first mastering the other twelve
principles.
The SIXTH SENSE is that portion of the subconscious mind which has
been referred to as the Creative Imagination. It has also been referred to
as the 'receiving set' through which ideas, plans, and thoughts flash into
the mind. The 'flashes' are sometimes called 'hunches' or 'inspirations'." Later on it is expressed that this can be achieved only through years of constant meditation, self-examination and serious thought.
This is the Chapter that would be best to be read completely from the book due to its complexity. Accordingly, just like any other piece of knowledge you read for the first time, it is of paramount importance that the reader keeps an open mind. The person who keeps a closed mind and refuses to evaluate the information given to him/her, cannot learn anything new.
Another great piece of advice is Napoleon pointing out that before he became an author or speak in public, he worked on shaping his character first. Appropriately, this is in line with an inspiring quote from Mahatma Gandhi, who asserted that "If you want to change the world, start with yourself first".
Additionally, observing the character of successful people and having great role models is another vital step to success. Napoleon wrote about the fact that his role models were Emerson, Paine, Edison, Darwin, Lincoln, Burbank, Napoleon, Ford, and Carnegie. Correspondingly, it is greatly beneficial to also study the great minds of today like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett and Elon Musk, as there is an abundance of important lessons to learn from them. For instance, look at this article from CNBC Make It, where the author recognised some very important principles and habits of the most successful people by reading biographies, books and the like.
