    12. A DAILY TASK!! “I FULLY REALIZE THAT NO WEALTH OR POSITION CAN LONG ENDURE, UNLESS BUILT UPON TRUTH AND JUSTICE; THEREFORE I WILL ENGAGE IN NO TRANSACTION WHICH DOES NOT BENEFIT ALL WHOM IT AFFECTS. I WILL SUCCEED BY ATTRACTING TO MYSELF THE FORCES I WISH TO USE, AND THE COOPERATION OF OTHER PEOPLE. I WILL INDUCE OTHERS TO SERVE ME, BECAUSE OF MY WILLINGNESS TO SERVE OTHERS. I WILL ELIMINATE HATRED, ENVY, JEALOUSY, SELFISHNESS, AND CYNICISM, BY DEVELOPING LOVE FOR ALL HUMANITY, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE TOWARDS OTHERS CAN NEVER BRING ME SUCCESS. I WILL CAUSE OTHERS TO BELIEVE IN ME, BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THEM, AND IN MYSELF. I WILL SIGN MY NAME TO THIS FORMULA, COMMIT IT TO MEMORY AND REPEAT IT ALOUD ONCE A DAY, WITH FULL FAITH THAT IT WILL GRADUALLY INFLUENCE MY THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS SO THAT I WILL BECOME A SELF-RELIANT, AND SUCCESSFUL PERSON” Napoleon Hill’s 5th self confidence formula
