Napoleon Hill’s Secret Finally Revealed
When Napoleon Hill wrote his best-selling classic Think and Grow Rich back in 1937, he planted his famous secret within its pages; actually, in two parts. The first part of the secret he revealed openly to his readers. However, the second part of the secret he did not openly reveal. Hill says however, that it will jump off the page when the reader is ready to receive it. Exactly what this secret is has been the subject of continuous discussion ever since.
I originally read the book over twenty years ago and I just did not get the secret. Hill explains that the reader can only receive it when he/she is ready, so I guess I was simply not ready at that time. Even many years later, when I read the book again, I had much the same experience: the secret continued to remain a mystery – at least to me.
So I began to do a bit of research: you know, Google is your friend – right? Well, the results of that research were that whilst many people claimed to know the secret, generally there seemed to be quite a bit of disagreement about what it was. It made me think that perhaps there was no such secret at all and that I was probably just wasting my time.
Then I came up with an interesting thought. I realised that Hill had named certain successful people in the book ” people like F.W. Woolworth, Henry Ford, Charles Schwab, George Eastman and so on. He mentioned that they had all applied the secret to create their fortunes. So I decided to research these people because, if they all knew the secret, then, I reasoned, I should find some common ideas about success in their writing. To cut a long story short, I found no such common thread.
A friend of mine told me that he thought the secret was entirely subjective. He said that people had to figure it out for themselves; and that, he said, was why Hill had not specified anything in particular. In the end, the secret boiled down to pretty-much anything the individual believed it to be.
One day, however, it just came to me almost completely out-of-the-blue. Just as Hill had said, it leaped off-the-page, metaphorically, and stood before me. I knew, intuitively, that I was right as soon as the secret struck me; and I also knew at last why Hill had not just openly revealed it in the first place. So, will the secret make me rich?
The secret is definitely having a positive effect in my online marketing and on the results I am now getting, so things are moving the right way. Now that I know the secret, I can see it being applied by other people; and some of them have been very successful at it too. I can well believe it has been directly responsible for creating significant wealth for very many people and I think it can also work for me.
