Publisher's Foreword

The reason why I am reading Think and Grow Rich is that it was mentioned in a Real Estate Seminar I recently attended in Long Beach, California. Another reason is that I am tired of being BROKE!!!! I went to Barnes & Nobel's website to read reviews of the book and all I read was good things. So, I purchased the book (8/19/10) and began reading it. Reading the publisher's forward, I found it interesting how the publisher, Melvin Powers, read and utilized the book at the age of 16 and still using it today running successful businesses. Powers mentions that Think and Grow Rich is the reason for his success.  That claim alone makes me want to read the book, or at least read a couple of pages.  Oh, I am not a big reader, but if a book interests me, I will take time to read it or like I mentioned before read a couple of pages.  I am tickled that the book was originally written in 1937, a year after my Mother was born. I mentioned that fact to her and told her that must had been a good decade to write a tried and true classic. She agreed and laughed. So, the publisher's foreword makes me want to move forward with this book.
