The Secret in Think and Grow Rich - Finally Revealed
In 1937, when Think and Grow Rich was first published, Napoleon Hill set his readers quite an interesting problem because he embedded a secret within its pages. Actually, the secret was in two parts; and one part he reveals openly in the work, but the other has continued to be a mystery that has perplexed readers of the book ever since.
When I first read the book myself, over twenty years ago, I can say that I was probably not ready to receive the secret. Needless to say, I didnt. However, many years later, I was motivated to reread the book and, still, the secret did not leap out of its pages and stand before me as the author suggested it would when the time was right.
I figured that other people must have solved the problem, so I began to search the internet to see what other people had written about it. The result was that I found quite a lot of articles written on the subject, but no two seemed to ever agree on what the secret was. It really made me wonder if there was any such secret at all.
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.
But, I don't really know why it happened when it did, but it did happen: the penny finally dropped and I actually got it. Once I realised what the secret was, I also realised why Hill had presented it the way he did; and that, in itself resulted in a strong inner conviction that I was indeed right. But will it make me rich (I can almost hear you say)?
Well, I began using the secret immediately; and I plan to use it in a more direct way in a project I have coming up in the near future. However, I can report that the use of the secret is indeed having a positive effect on the results I am getting right now, so I am convinced that I finally do have the real secret.
