The Master Key System by Charles F. Haanel

According to one story in circulation, the Master Key played an important role  in the life of Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft. It is said that after reading The Master Key System while he was studying at Harvard University, Bill Gates was so impressed by its contents and concepts that he dropped out of the university and went on to pursue his dream of "a computer on every desktop." It is also said that the book, which was written over 80 years ago, has been a source of inspiration for many entrepreneurs, businessmen and wealthy people in the Silicon Valley and elsewhere. The Master Key System discusses the creative power of thought, the deep connection between the world within or the mind and the Universal Mind. By understanding how it works, we can effectively reach our goals, become prosperous and remain in control of our lives. The master key is our own mind power, both the conscious and the subconscious minds and their connection with the Universal Mind which is described generally as God or the power of God. What we desire, think and feel within ourselves is reflected in the world without. When we realize this great secret, this immense power which we all possess, this master key, we become masters of our own lives and unlock the immense powers and potentials residing in our minds and bodies. In the process we also learn to act responsibly, with awareness and right attitude.
