Napoleon Hill’s Secret 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.

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.

I began to search the internet to see what other people had to say about Hills secret; and I found many people who claimed to know it too. Some wanted to sell the secret and some gave their interpretation of it, but I found that almost no two versions of the secret were the same. So I began to think, for a while, that there was no secret at all; and later still, that the secret was that there is no secret.

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.

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.

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?

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.
