Both short stories are part of a motivational tool kit to help people achieve more on their own. An over dose could make someone very suspicious of government programs and officials offering to help them.

Motivators and these authors teach that success is a "do it yourself" project. Napolean Hill, author or Think and Grow Rich, was challenged by Andrew Carnegie to study a couple of hundred successful businessmen in interviews arranged by Mr. Carnegie. The idea was to isolate and identify any common characteristics that successful people had in common. Then write a book that could help people help themselves by emulating other successful people. It was the first book of it's kind. It was published during "The Great Depression" so obviously there were a lot of people the had a need for more wealth. I have read that compared to the Bible, Think and Grow Rich is the second best selling book of all time. In 2008, when our Nation had a little banking problem, I got the old books out to see if they still had worth in a digital world. I found they do. That is my opinion. It should be for others to form their own opinions. In many ways, Hill teaches you get out of life what you put into it.

Both of these stories on the audio book are published and distributed by the Napolean Hill foundation, which is dedicated to the furtherance of his work in the advancement of knowledge in achievement.

The jaded eye line was my feeble attempt at sarcasm. Having heard the stories on the audio book, one might not believe the promises of the progressive Utopia.
