From the Greatest Minds and Students that we have ever known….Napoleon Hill:

 FIRST: I know I have the ability to achieve the object of my definite purpose in Life; therefore I demand of myself persistent continuous action towards its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

 SECOND: I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality; therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes a daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture.

 THIRD: I know through the principal of autosuggestion, any desire I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it; therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of self-confidence.

 FOURTH: I have clearly written down a description of my definite aim in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

 FIFTH: 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 eliminate hatred, jealousy, and envy. I know a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I believe in them. I will become a self-reliant and successful person.
