If the significance of this statement could be conveyed to every person who reads it, there would be no need for the remainder of this book. Barnes did not get his partnership with Edison on his first interview. He did get a chance to work in the Edison offices, at a very nominal wage, doing work that was unimportant to Edison, but most important to Barnes, because it gave him an opportunity to display his 'merchandise' where his intended 'partner' could see it.
Months went by. But something important was happening in Barnes' mind. Psychologists have correctly said that 'when one is truly ready for a thing, it puts in its appearance.
He did not say to himself, 'Ah well, what's the use? I guess I'll change my mind and try for a salesman's job. Maybe young Barnes did not know it at the time, but his bulldog determination, his persistence in standing back of a single DESIRE, was destined to mow down all opposition, and bring him the opportunity he was seeking.
When the opportunity came, it appeared in a different form, and from a different direction than Barnes had expected. That is one of the tricks of opportunity. It has a sly habit of slipping in by the back door, and often it comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.
Edison had just perfected a new office device, known at that time, as the Edison Dictating Machine now the Ediphone. His salesmen were not enthusiastic over the machine. They did not believe it could be sold without great effort. Barnes saw his opportunity. It had crawled in quietly, hidden in a queer looking machine which interested no one but Barnes and the inventor. Barnes knew he could sell the Edison Dictating Machine. He suggested this to Edison, and promptly got his chance.
He did sell the machine. In fact, he sold it so successfully that Edison gave him a contract to distribute and market it all over the nation. Out of that business association grew the slogan, 'Made by Edison and installed by Barnes. Out of it Barnes has made himself rich in money, but he has done something infinitely greater, he has proved that one really may 'Think and Grow Rich.

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill is a self-help book first published in Arguably one of the most famous and well-known books on self-improvement, the book has sold over 15 million copies.
Inspired by wealthy businessman Andrew Carnegie, Think and Grow Rich was published during the Great Depression and contains the philosophy of rich people and how they made their wealth. A lot of the book comes down to the concept of perseverance and believing in yourself.

The book takes those laws, and puts them into fourteen principles that the reader can develop. Along with basic advice such as treating your customers well, etc, Hill also tells us that we need to grow spiritually as well, and towards the end of the book, he delves into some esoteric subjects such as Kundalini energy, manifesting psychic powers, and tapping into your higher consciousnes.
