Bhuwan Neupane's Key Ideas from Outwitting the Devil
by Napoleon Hill

Occupation: I teach people to become drifters by causing them to drift out of school into the first job they can find, with no definite aim or purpose except to make a living. Through this trick I keep millions of people in fear of poverty all their lives. Through this fear I lead them slowly but surely onward until they reach the point beyond which no individual ever has broken the drifting habit

Savings: I cause people to spend freely and to save sparingly or not at all, until I take complete control of them through their fear ofpoverty.

Environment: I cause people to drift into inharmonious and unpleasant environments in the home, in their places ofoccupa- tion, in their relationship with relatives and acquaintances, and to remain there until I claim them through the habit ofdrifting.

Dominating Thoughts: I cause people to drift into the habit of thinking negative thoughts. This leads to negative acts and involves people in controversies and fills their minds with fears, thus paving the way for me to enter and control their minds. When I move in, I do so by appealing to people through negative thoughts which they believe to be their own. I plant the seeds of negative thought in the minds of people through the pulpit, the newspapers, the moving pictures, the radio, and all other popular methods of appeal to the mind.

I cause people to allow me to do their thinking for them because they are too lazy and too indifferent to think for themselves
