Forgotten genius Nikola Tesla was celibate and never married claiming that his chastity was very helpful to his scientific abilities. He also believed that plant food was “superior to [meat] in regard to both mechanical and mental performance”. Respect the mind’s power over the body. Your head is on the top for a reason. Your mind is the software; your body the hardware. Think of yourself as an Apple product. What are Apple products? Well integrated! So, in order for your mind to give it’s best performance you have to watch what you put in your body (food) and careful about what you let out (sperm). The only thing standing between you and me is old habits. Kick ‘em! Who do you want to be, Bane from Batman & Robin or Bane from The Dark Knight Rises? You choose.

Is That A $20 Bill You’re Using As A Bookmark?
Yeah, sure is! I also use a Lord Of The Rings bookmark for my bible.
From your grandma saying, “just because you can save money doesn’t mean you will be rich” to your dad suggesting you let Smith & Nephew kill your entrepreneurial spirit, Napoleon would like to remind you of something,
Close friends and relatives, while not meaning to do so, often handicap one through “opinions” and sometimes through ridicule, which is meant to be humorous. Thousands of men and women carry inferiority complexes with them all through life, because some well-meaning but ignorant person destroyed their confidence through “opinions” or ridicule.
I know you wanted to stick a fork in their tongue after they said such a strange combination of words, but, like Hill said, they’re well-meaning, however, IGNORANT. It’s like what Will Smith said to his son in The Pursuit of Happyness,
Christopher Gardner: Hey. Don’t ever let somebody tell you… You can’t do something. Not even me. All right?
Christopher: All right.
Christopher Gardner: You got a dream… You gotta protect it. People can’t do somethin’ themselves, they wanna tell you you can’t do it. If you want somethin’, go get it. Period.
Then, you cried. Wouldn’t it have been so encouraging had they said something like that instead of giving you a 100 reasons why it can’t be done?
They can’t do it themselves(well, they can but they don’t have faith), don’t know anyone who did it(outside the famous), so when you DO IT, you will educate the ignorant. The lesson is simple: YOU CAN WILL DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOUR MIND TO. All actions are first clothed in a thought. Even the smallest of baby steps. And things you don’t have to think about no more are second nature, which means habit, so make sure your thought patterns continue to be power, success and opulence.
Here’s to superior minds! Cheers.

P.S. I want you to read Meet the tireless entrepreneur who squatted at AOL , think of an opinion about Eric Simons, then read the comments. See the difference between you and THEM? How can you not have anything other than praise for this kid? How? How is it possible? Well, congratulations, Har-old, you found a soul mate. Enjoy your 9 to 5, suckas!
Every adversity, every failure and every heartache carries with it the seed of an equivalent or a greater benefit.
Hill went on further to say, “Despite the benefits with which we may get from adversities and unpleasant experiences of every nature no one desires to meet with these experiences.” Time to test Hill’s philosophy. What if you became the one who did desire to meet with such experiences? Har-old, what if you planned your “failures” as a way to gain wisdom? Hmmm? Plan to get caught. Start a fire. Of course!!! #MasterMind
How you know I’m writing you from the year 2033? How you know I’m NOT writing you from 2012? Or better, how you know I’m not writing you from the afterlife? What makes you so confident that time is on your side? Hmmm? Har-old, if I said you only have 5 years to live, what is absolutely essential for you to do in your life? What are the top 7 things that you would have to do for your life to be complete? Will these things disappoint you if you didn’t do ‘em? Your number one is How To Live Forever. Time only sides with the patient and the one who plans. #Self-Genius
Do I Really Look Like A Guy With A Plan?
Ledger’s Joker said,
Do I really look like a guy with a plan? You know what I am? I’m a dog chasing cars. I wouldn’t know what to do with one if I caught it, you know. I just do things.
Was he telling the truth? Or was he just manipulating Harvey? This is the part where you get confused. Why? Because the things The Joker did in The Dark Knight was so complex and impossible that he HAD … to plan them for months, maybe even years. Well, I’m here to reveal to you that he was telling the truth. The Joker is a mastermind at improvising criminal activities.
I cringe when you waste time planning, over-planning and never doing. So, I’m stepping in to develop chaotic thinking patterns.
- Lower your level of inhibition which will allow you to plan accordingly with complex and impossible plans.
- How to lower your level of inhibition? Stop self-reflecting! Har-old, you either over-think and never do, or do then over-think what you’ve just done and think negative results. Cure the former by doing it the moment you start to over-think, no matter if you’re “ready” or not; cure the latter with patience and thought-changing.
- How to stop self-reflecting? Be a kid again. This will be easy since you have a child-like imagination. Ever heard the phrase, “Children are innocent?” Guess what? They’re not. Children aren’t innocent; they’re powerful. How? As Robert Greene said, “Children may be naïve in many ways, but they often act from an elemental need to gain control over those around them. Children suffer greatly from feeling powerless in the adult world, and they use any means available to get their way.” Children do NOT know the difference between right and wrong. How cute? No! How genius??? When a child makes a “booboo” the parent has to point it out. Why? Because children aren’t hindered by reflection.
Invisible Counselors
Dear Har-old,
American author Napoleon Hill wrote, “… I followed the habit of reshaping my own character, by trying to imitate the nine men whose lives and life-works had been most impressive to me.”
Here are your cabinet members:
- Janelle Monae
- Jesse Eisenberg’s Mark Zuckerberg
- Kobe Bryant
- Adrian Monk
- Heath Ledger’s Joker
- 50 Cent
- Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds
- Max B
- Shawn Spencer from Psych
- Sean Parker (the real one and Justin Timberlake’s version)
- Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory
Every night before you go to sleep, I want you to shut your eyes, and see, in your imagination, this group of people seated with you around a council table. You will not only have the opportunity to sit among these people you consider great but you will actually dominate this group. That’s right, you will serve as chairman. I want you to call on your cabinet members for the knowledge you wish each to contribute, addressing yourself to each member in audible words, as follows:
- Ms. Monae, I desire to acquire from you your fearlessness, your creativity, your “weirdness,” your individuality and your imagination. I fell in love with you when I seen Tightrope. You are the ONLY woman I will marry.
- Eisenberg‘s Zuckerberg, I request that you pass on to me your over-ambitiousness that is on full-display in The Social Network which I seen in theaters 3 consecutive Saturdays. Saved the ticket stubs. Watched the trailer innumerable times. Bought the book the movie was based on, The Accidental Billionaires. Purchased the soundtrack. Pre-ordered the collector’s edition DVD. All of which I keep in a safe.
- Kobe, I respect your mind more than your basketball skills. I’m actually excited to see what you will do after retirement. I desire to acquire your mental toughness, your calmness in pressure situations and competitive edge. After you won your first championship, instead of being satisfied, you spent the whole summer getting better. I want your passion.
- Monk, I wish to learn from you how to turn my OCD into a gift instead of a curse. Also, I want you to help with my photographic memory. You are just an inspiration. You are … my favorite television character of all time.
- Ledger‘s Joker, I wish to acquire from you your foresight, your chess-like thinking, your genius level of planning, knowledge of human behavior and unique view of the world. What was the most impressive to me about you in The Dark Knight was your ability to ALWAYS stay 12 steps ahead of Batman.
- 50, I have been a fan of yours since late 2002. I desire to acquire from you your aggressiveness, your detachment ability and your application of The 48 Laws of Power.
- Reid, I wish to acquire your autodidacticism, eidetic memory, your speed reading ability, and your lack of talent when it comes to talking to females. I love Criminal Minds.
- Max, every time I’m stressed, depressed, frustrated and need to get in the mood I listen to you. You put so much pain and passion in your music. I wish to acquire from you your charisma and attitude.
- Shawn, I request you to pass on your extraordinary powers of observation, your eidetic memory, your deduction, your sense of humor, your child-like imagination and playfulness. Psych is one of my favorite shows, man.
- Sean, The Social Network started my interest in you. I request you pass on to me your opportunity-seeing-eye, your autodidacticism, your networking abilities, your serial entrepreneurial spirit and your intensity for ideas.
- Sheldon, The Big Bang Theory is one of my favorite shows. I desire to possess your eidetic memory, your overtly intellectual personality and disinterest in romantic relationships.
Now your method of addressing the members of your cabinet will vary, according to the traits of character you are, for the moment, most interested in acquiring. The purpose in this is to rebuild your own character so it would represent a composite of the characters of your imaginary counselors.
Futuristically yours,
Har+new
