Hill's works examined the power of personal belief, and the role they play in personal success. He became an advisor to Present Franklin D. Roosevelt from 1933 to 1936. ""Anything the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can be achieved." if one of Hill's hallmark expressions. How achievement actually occurs, and a formula for it that puts success in reach of the average person, were the focal point of Hill's books."Life and Works: Napoleon Hill was born in a one-room cabin near the Appalachian town of Pound, in Southwest Virginia. Hill's mother died when he was nine years old, and his father married two years later. At the age of 13, Hill began writing as a "mountain reporter" for a small-town newspapers in the area of Wise County, Virginia. He later used his earnings as a reporter to enter law-school, but soon had to withdraw for financial reasons. "Influence Of Andrew Carnegie (1836-1919): Hill considered the turning point in his life to have occurred in the year 1908 with his assignment, as part of a series of articles about famous and successful men, to interview the industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. At the time, Carnegie was one of the most powerful men in the world. Hill discovered that Carnegie believed that the process of success could be outlined in a simple formula that anyone would be able to understand and achieve. Impressed with Hill, Carnegie asked him if he was up to the task of putting together this information, to interview or analyze over 500 successful men and women, many of them millionaires, in order to discover and publish this formula for success.
