I think that this statement means that when everyone works in a team they are able to achieve more things and in a faster rate than they would if they were to work alone. It also means that the reward is split among them and is worth more since they had to work in a team to achieve it.

Reflection: I believe that this statement means that our mind builds on what we think about. The mind is known to expand on a given subject. For example, if someone is always thinking about graduating and going to college then he will grows flowers, but if someone thinks about just staying home and living alone stealing to live then he is growing weeds.

"A definite worthy goal, combined with a positive mental attitude (PMA), is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement."            -Napoleon Hill
 I believe that this statement means that we must find our goal in life. The goal that we choose must be a lifelong goal. Also, to achieve it we must choose a goal and have a positive mental attitude toward completing your goal. Once the goal is achieved them you will feel like if you accomplished something meaningful. For example, a student following the medical profession has the goal to become a Doctor and he achieves it by having a PMA and when he gets his certificate then he knows he accomplished something good.
