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.
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.
But then, a thought struck me. Hill says in the book that people like Henry Ford, Alexander Graham Bell and John D Rockerfeller had all used the secret to acquire their wealth, so I figured that I might be able to get some insight into the secret by studying how these people had become wealthy. But alas, I was not able to find a common theme that might suggest they were all applying the same principle.
Speaking with a friend about the whole subject of the secret and how it was supposedly hidden in the pages of the book, I asked him what he thought it was. He replied that his opinion was that the secret was the individual reader's interpretation. Everyone, he said, would have their own 'aha' moment. That, he said, was the secret.
However, one day, it actually happened: I realised what the secret was. Just as Napoleon Hill had said, I recognised it and instantly knew it to be true; and I also realised why Hill had decided to hide it within the pages of the book in plain sight " so to speak. Now that I know the secret, the big question is: will it make me rich? After all, that is the subject of the book.
Well, I have at least begun to use the secret; though I have plans to make much greater and more direct use of it in the future. I can now recognise when it is being used by others and I understand how and why it has been responsible for building the fortunes of very many successful people. There is no question about it, the use of the secret in my marketing is indeed having a dramatic effect on the results I am producing, so I believe that Napoleon Hill was absolutely right.
