How To Be Successful At Anything (Motivational Speech From 1956)

I'd like to tell you about the strangest I'd like to tell you about the strangest secret in the world some years ago the secret in the world some years ago the secret in the world some years ago the late Nobel prize-winning dr. Albert late Nobel prize-winning dr. Albert late Nobel prize-winning dr. Albert Schweitzer was being interviewed in Schweitzer was being interviewed in Schweitzer was being interviewed in London and a reporter asked him doctor London and a reporter asked him doctor London and a reporter asked him doctor what's wrong with men today what's wrong with men today what's wrong with men today the great doctor was silent a moment and the great doctor was silent a moment and the great doctor was silent a moment and then he said men simply don't think it's then he said men simply don't think it's then he said men simply don't think it's about this that I want to talk with you about this that I want to talk with you about this that I want to talk with you we live today in a golden age this is an we live today in a golden age this is an we live today in a golden age this is an era that man has looked forward to era that man has looked forward to era that man has looked forward to dreamed of and worked toward for dreamed of and worked toward for dreamed of and worked toward for thousands of years but since it's here thousands of years but since it's here thousands of years but since it's here we pretty well take it for granted we in we pretty well take it for granted we in we pretty well take it for granted we in America are particularly fortunate to America are particularly fortunate to America are particularly fortunate to live in a richest land that ever existed live in a richest land that ever existed live in a richest land that ever existed on the face of the earth a land of on the face of the earth a land of on the face of the earth a land of abundant opportunity for everyone but abundant opportunity for everyone but abundant opportunity for everyone but you know what happens well let's take a you know what happens well let's take a you know what happens well let's take a hundred men who start even at the age of hundred men who start even at the age of hundred men who start even at the age of 25 do you have any idea what will happen 25 do you have any idea what will happen 25 do you have any idea what will happen to those men by the time they're 65 to those men by the time they're 65 to those men by the time they're 65 these 100 men who all start even at the these 100 men who all start even at the these 100 men who all start even at the age of 25 believe they're going to be age of 25 believe they're going to be age of 25 believe they're going to be successful if you ask any one of these successful if you ask any one of these successful if you ask any one of these men if he wanted to be a success he said men if he wanted to be a success he said men if he wanted to be a success he said he did and you'd notice that it was he did and you'd notice that it was he did and you'd notice that it was eager toward life that there was a eager toward life that there was a eager toward life that there was a certain sparkle to his eye any retinas certain sparkle to his eye any retinas certain sparkle to his eye any retinas to his carriage and life seemed like a to his carriage and life seemed like a to his carriage and life seemed like a pretty interesting adventure to him but pretty interesting adventure to him but pretty interesting adventure to him but by the time they're 65 one will be rich by the time they're 65 one will be rich by the time they're 65 one will be rich four will be financially independent four will be financially independent four will be financially independent five will still be working fifty four five will still be working fifty four five will still be working fifty four will be broke I think a moment out of will be broke I think a moment out of will be broke I think a moment out of the 100 only five make the grade now why the 100 only five make the grade now why the 100 only five make the grade now why do so many fail what has happened to the do so many fail what has happened to the do so many fail what has happened to the sparkle that was there when they were sparkle that was there when they were sparkle that was there when they were twenty five what's become of the dreams twenty five what's become of the dreams twenty five what's become of the dreams the hopes the plans and why is there the hopes the plans and why is there the hopes the plans and why is there such a large disparity between what

such a large disparity between what such a large disparity between what these men intended to do and what they these men intended to do and what they these men intended to do and what they actually accomplished when we say about actually accomplished when we say about actually accomplished when we say about five percent achieve success we have to five percent achieve success we have to five percent achieve success we have to define success and here's the best define success and here's the best define success and here's the best definition I've ever been able to find definition I've ever been able to find definition I've ever been able to find success is the progressive realisation success is the progressive realisation success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal if a man is working of a worthy ideal if a man is working of a worthy ideal if a man is working toward a predetermined goal and knows toward a predetermined goal and knows toward a predetermined goal and knows where he's going that man is the success where he's going that man is the success where he's going that man is the success if he's not doing that he's a failure if he's not doing that he's a failure if he's not doing that he's a failure success is the progressive realisation success is the progressive realisation success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal Rallo may the of a worthy ideal Rallo may the of a worthy ideal Rallo may the distinguished the contras twirl distinguished the contras twirl distinguished the contras twirl wonderful book called man's search for wonderful book called man's search for wonderful book called man's search for himself and in this book he says the himself and in this book he says the himself and in this book he says the opposite of courage in our society is opposite of courage in our society is opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice it is conformity and there not cowardice it is conformity and there not cowardice it is conformity and there you have the trouble today its you have the trouble today its you have the trouble today its conformity people acting like everyone conformity people acting like everyone conformity people acting like everyone else without knowing why without knowing else without knowing why without knowing else without knowing why without knowing where they're going I think of it in where they're going I think of it in where they're going I think of it in America right now there are over 18 America right now there are over 18 America right now there are over 18 million people 65 years of age and older million people 65 years of age and older million people 65 years of age and older and most of them are broke they're and most of them are broke they're and most of them are broke they're dependent on someone else for life's dependent on someone else for life's dependent on someone else for life's necessities now with an to read by the necessities now with an to read by the necessities now with an to read by the time was 7 we learned to make a living time was 7 we learned to make a living time was 7 we learned to make a living by the time were 25 usually but that by the time were 25 usually but that by the time were 25 usually but that time we're not only making a living time we're not only making a living time we're not only making a living we're supporting a family and yet by the we're supporting a family and yet by the we're supporting a family and yet by the time we're 65 we haven't learned how to time we're 65 we haven't learned how to time we're 65 we haven't learned how to become financially independent in the become financially independent in the become financially independent in the richest land that has ever been known richest land that has ever been known richest land that has ever been known why we can form and the trouble is that why we can form and the trouble is that why we can form and the trouble is that were acting like the wrong percentage were acting like the wrong percentage were acting like the wrong percentage group the 95 who don't succeed and why group the 95 who don't succeed and why group the 95 who don't succeed and why do these people conform well they really

do these people conform well they really do these people conform well they really don't know these people believe that don't know these people believe that don't know these people believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances their lives are shaped by circumstances their lives are shaped by circumstances by things that happen to them by by things that happen to them by by things that happen to them by exterior forces their outer directed exterior forces their outer directed exterior forces their outer directed people as survey was made one time that people as survey was made one time that people as survey was made one time that covered a lot of men working then and covered a lot of men working then and covered a lot of men working then and these men were asked why do you work why these men were asked why do you work why these men were asked why do you work why do you get up in the morning 19 out of do you get up in the morning 19 out of do you get up in the morning 19 out of 20 had no idea if you ask them they'll 20 had no idea if you ask them they'll 20 had no idea if you ask them they'll say well everyone goes to work in the say well everyone goes to work in the say well everyone goes to work in the morning and that's the reason they do it morning and that's the reason they do it morning and that's the reason they do it because everyone else is doing it now because everyone else is doing it now because everyone else is doing it now let's get back to our definition of let's get back to our definition of let's get back to our definition of success who succeeds the only person who success who succeeds the only person who success who succeeds the only person who succeeds is the person who is succeeds is the person who is succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal progressively realizing a worthy ideal progressively realizing a worthy ideal is the person who says I'm going to is the person who says I'm going to is the person who says I'm going to become this and then begins to work become this and then begins to work become this and then begins to work toward that goal I'll tell you the toward that goal I'll tell you the toward that goal I'll tell you the successful people are a success is the successful people are a success is the successful people are a success is the school teacher who's teaching school school teacher who's teaching school school teacher who's teaching school because that's what he or she wants to because that's what he or she wants to because that's what he or she wants to do the success is the woman who's a wife do the success is the woman who's a wife do the success is the woman who's a wife and mother because she wanted to become and mother because she wanted to become and mother because she wanted to become a wife and mother and is doing a good a wife and mother and is doing a good a wife and mother and is doing a good job of it the success is the man who job of it the success is the man who job of it the success is the man who runs the corner gas station because that runs the corner gas station because that runs the corner gas station because that was his dream that's what he wanted to was his dream that's what he wanted to was his dream that's what he wanted to do the success is the successful do the success is the successful do the success is the successful salesman who wants to become a top-notch salesman who wants to become a top-notch salesman who wants to become a top-notch salesman and grow and build with his salesman and grow and build with his salesman and grow and build with his organization a success is anyone who is organization a success is anyone who is organization a success is anyone who is doing deliberately a predetermined job doing deliberately a predetermined job doing deliberately a predetermined job because that's what he decided to do because that's what he decided to do because that's what he decided to do deliberately but only one out of deliberately but only one out of deliberately but only one out of there's that that's why today there there's that that's why today there there's that that's why today there isn't really any competition unless we isn't really any competition unless we isn't really any competition unless we make it for ourselves instead of make it for ourselves instead of make it for ourselves instead of competing all we have to do is create competing all we have to do is create competing all we have to do is create enough for 20 years I look for the key enough for 20 years I look for the key enough for 20 years I look for the key which would determine what would happen which would determine what would happen which would determine what would happen to a human being was the recce i wanted

to a human being was the recce i wanted to a human being was the recce i wanted to know which would make the future a to know which would make the future a to know which would make the future a promise that we could foretell to a promise that we could foretell to a promise that we could foretell to a large extent was there a key that would large extent was there a key that would large extent was there a key that would guarantee a person's becoming successful guarantee a person's becoming successful guarantee a person's becoming successful if you only knew about it and you had to if you only knew about it and you had to if you only knew about it and you had to use it well there is such a key and I've use it well there is such a key and I've use it well there is such a key and I've found it and you ever wondered why so found it and you ever wondered why so found it and you ever wondered why so many men worked so hard and honestly many men worked so hard and honestly many men worked so hard and honestly without ever achieving anything in without ever achieving anything in without ever achieving anything in particular and others don't seem to work particular and others don't seem to work particular and others don't seem to work hard and yet seem to get everything they hard and yet seem to get everything they hard and yet seem to get everything they seem to have the magic touch you've seem to have the magic touch you've seem to have the magic touch you've heard them say that about someone heard them say that about someone heard them say that about someone everything he touches turns to gold and everything he touches turns to gold and everything he touches turns to gold and have you ever noticed that a man who have you ever noticed that a man who have you ever noticed that a man who become successful tends to continue to become successful tends to continue to become successful tends to continue to become successful and on the other hand become successful and on the other hand become successful and on the other hand have you noticed how a man was a failure have you noticed how a man was a failure have you noticed how a man was a failure tends to continue to fail well it's tends to continue to fail well it's tends to continue to fail well it's because of goals some of us have goals because of goals some of us have goals because of goals some of us have goals some don't people with goals succeed some don't people with goals succeed some don't people with goals succeed because they know where they're going because they know where they're going because they know where they're going it's that simple it's that simple it's that simple think of a ship leaving a harbor and think of a ship leaving a harbor and think of a ship leaving a harbor and think of it with a complete voyage think of it with a complete voyage think of it with a complete voyage mapped out and planned the captain and mapped out and planned the captain and mapped out and planned the captain and crew know exactly where it's going and crew know exactly where it's going and crew know exactly where it's going and how long it'll take it has a definite how long it'll take it has a definite how long it'll take it has a definite goal and 9999 times out of 10,000 it goal and 9999 times out of 10,000 it goal and 9999 times out of 10,000 it will get to where it started out to get will get to where it started out to get will get to where it started out to get now let's take another ship just like now let's take another ship just like now let's take another ship just like the first only that's not put a crew on the first only that's not put a crew on the first only that's not put a crew on it or a captain of the helm it or a captain of the helm it or a captain of the helm let's give it no aiming point no goal no let's give it no aiming point no goal no let's give it no aiming point no goal no destination we just start the engines destination we just start the engines destination we just start the engines and let it go I think you'll agree with and let it go I think you'll agree with and let it go I think you'll agree with me that if it gets out of the harbor at me that if it gets out of the harbor at me that if it gets out of the harbor at all typically there is sinker wind up on all typically there is sinker wind up on all typically there is sinker wind up on some deserted beach a derelict it can't some deserted beach a derelict it can't some deserted beach a derelict it can't go anyplace because it has no go anyplace because it has no go anyplace because it has no destination and no guidance and it's the destination and no guidance and it's the destination and no guidance and it's the same with a human being take the same with a human being take the same with a human being take the salesman for example there's no other salesman for example there's no other salesman for example there's no other person in the world today with the person in the world today with the person in the world today with the future of a good salesman selling is the

future of a good salesman selling is the future of a good salesman selling is the world's highest-paid profession if we're world's highest-paid profession if we're world's highest-paid profession if we're good at it and if we know where we're good at it and if we know where we're good at it and if we know where we're going every company needs top-notch going every company needs top-notch going every company needs top-notch salesmen and they reward those men the salesmen and they reward those men the salesmen and they reward those men the sky's the limit for them but how many sky's the limit for them but how many sky's the limit for them but how many can you find someone once said the human can you find someone once said the human can you find someone once said the human race is fixed not to prevent the strong race is fixed not to prevent the strong race is fixed not to prevent the strong from winning but to prevent the weak from winning but to prevent the weak from winning but to prevent the weak from losing the American economy today from losing the American economy today from losing the American economy today can be likened to a convoy and can be likened to a convoy and can be likened to a convoy and of war the entire economy is slowed down of war the entire economy is slowed down of war the entire economy is slowed down to protect its weakest link to protect its weakest link to protect its weakest link just as the convoy had to go at the just as the convoy had to go at the just as the convoy had to go at the speed that would permit the slowest speed that would permit the slowest speed that would permit the slowest vessel to remain in formation that's why vessel to remain in formation that's why vessel to remain in formation that's why it's so easy to make a living today it it's so easy to make a living today it it's so easy to make a living today it takes no particular brains or talent to takes no particular brains or talent to takes no particular brains or talent to make a living and support a family today make a living and support a family today make a living and support a family today so we have a plateau or so called so we have a plateau or so called so we have a plateau or so called security if that's what a person is security if that's what a person is security if that's what a person is looking for but we do have to decide how looking for but we do have to decide how looking for but we do have to decide how high above this plateau we want to wane high above this plateau we want to wane high above this plateau we want to wane now let's get back to the strangest now let's get back to the strangest now let's get back to the strangest secret in the world a story that I secret in the world a story that I secret in the world a story that I wanted to tell you today wanted to tell you today wanted to tell you today why do men with goals succeed in life why do men with goals succeed in life why do men with goals succeed in life and men without them fail well let me and men without them fail well let me and men without them fail well let me tell you something which if you really tell you something which if you really tell you something which if you really understand it understand it understand it will alter your life immediately if you will alter your life immediately if you will alter your life immediately if you understand completely what I'm going to understand completely what I'm going to understand completely what I'm going to tell you from this moment on your life tell you from this moment on your life tell you from this moment on your life will never be the same again you will will never be the same again you will will never be the same again you will suddenly find it good luck there seems suddenly find it good luck there seems suddenly find it good luck there seems to be attractive do the things you want to be attractive do the things you want to be attractive do the things you want just seem to fall in line and from now just seem to fall in line and from now just seem to fall in line and from now on you won't have the problems that were on you won't have the problems that were on you won't have the problems that were easy knowing a lump of anxiety that easy knowing a lump of anxiety that easy knowing a lump of anxiety that perhaps you've experienced before doubt perhaps you've experienced before doubt perhaps you've experienced before doubt fear well there'll be things of the past fear well there'll be things of the past fear well there'll be things of the past here's the key to success and the key to here's the key to success and the key to here's the key to success and the key to failure we become what we think about

failure we become what we think about failure we become what we think about now let me say that again we become what now let me say that again we become what now let me say that again we become what we think about throughout all history we think about throughout all history we think about throughout all history the great wise men and teachers the great wise men and teachers the great wise men and teachers philosophers and prophets have disagreed philosophers and prophets have disagreed philosophers and prophets have disagreed with one another on many different with one another on many different with one another on many different things it's only on this one point that things it's only on this one point that things it's only on this one point that they are incomplete and unanimous they are incomplete and unanimous they are incomplete and unanimous agreement listen to what month is really agreement listen to what month is really agreement listen to what month is really as the great Roman Emperor said a man's as the great Roman Emperor said a man's as the great Roman Emperor said a man's life is what his thoughts make of it life is what his thoughts make of it life is what his thoughts make of it Disraeli said this everything comes if a Disraeli said this everything comes if a Disraeli said this everything comes if a man will only wait I've brought myself man will only wait I've brought myself man will only wait I've brought myself by long meditation of a conviction that by long meditation of a conviction that by long meditation of a conviction that a human being with a settled purpose a human being with a settled purpose a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it and that nothing can must accomplish it and that nothing can must accomplish it and that nothing can resist a will that will stay even resist a will that will stay even resist a will that will stay even existence for its fulfillment Ralph existence for its fulfillment Ralph existence for its fulfillment Ralph Waldo Emerson said this a man is what he Waldo Emerson said this a man is what he Waldo Emerson said this a man is what he thinks about all day long thinks about all day long thinks about all day long William James said the greatest William James said the greatest William James said the greatest discovery of my generation is that human discovery of my generation is that human discovery of my generation is that human beings can alter their lives by altering beings can alter their lives by altering beings can alter their lives by altering their attitudes of mind and he also said their attitudes of mind and he also said their attitudes of mind and he also said we need only in cold blood act as if the we need only in cold blood act as if the we need only in cold blood act as if the thing in question were real thing in question were real thing in question were real and it will become infallibly real by and it will become infallibly real by and it will become infallibly real by growing into such a connection with our growing into such a connection with our growing into such a connection with our life that it will become real it will life that it will become real it will life that it will become real it will become so knit with habit and emotion become so knit with habit and emotion become so knit with habit and emotion that our interests in it will be those that our interests in it will be those that our interests in it will be those which characterized belief they also which characterized belief they also which characterized belief they also said if you only care enough for a said if you only care enough for a said if you only care enough for a result you will almost certainly attain result you will almost certainly attain result you will almost certainly attain it if you wish to be rich you will be it if you wish to be rich you will be it if you wish to be rich you will be rich if you wish to be learning you will rich if you wish to be learning you will rich if you wish to be learning you will be learning if you wish to be good be learning if you wish to be good be learning if you wish to be good you'll be good only you must then really you'll be good only you must then really you'll be good only you must then really wish these things and wish them wish these things and wish them wish these things and wish them exclusively and not wish at the same

think about conversely the man who has think about conversely the man who has no goal who doesn't know where he's no goal who doesn't know where he's no goal who doesn't know where he's going and whose thoughts was there for B going and whose thoughts was there for B going and whose thoughts was there for B thoughts of confusion and anxiety and thoughts of confusion and anxiety and thoughts of confusion and anxiety and fear and worry becomes what he thinks fear and worry becomes what he thinks fear and worry becomes what he thinks about his life becomes one of us about his life becomes one of us about his life becomes one of us and fear and anxiety and worry and if he and fear and anxiety and worry and if he and fear and anxiety and worry and if he thinks about nothing he becomes nothing thinks about nothing he becomes nothing thinks about nothing he becomes nothing now how does it work why do we become now how does it work why do we become now how does it work why do we become what we think about well I'll tell you what we think about well I'll tell you what we think about well I'll tell you how it works as far as we know how to do how it works as far as we know how to do how it works as far as we know how to do this I want to tell you about a this I want to tell you about a this I want to tell you about a situation that parallels the human mind situation that parallels the human mind situation that parallels the human mind suppose the farmer has some land and suppose the farmer has some land and suppose the farmer has some land and it's good for the land now the land it's good for the land now the land it's good for the land now the land gives the farmer a choice he may plant gives the farmer a choice he may plant gives the farmer a choice he may plant in that land whatever he chooses the in that land whatever he chooses the in that land whatever he chooses the land doesn't care it's up to the farmer land doesn't care it's up to the farmer land doesn't care it's up to the farmer to make the decision now remember we're to make the decision now remember we're to make the decision now remember we're comparing the human mind with the land comparing the human mind with the land comparing the human mind with the land because the mind like the land doesn't because the mind like the land doesn't because the mind like the land doesn't care what you plant in it it will return care what you plant in it it will return care what you plant in it it will return what you plant but it doesn't care what what you plant but it doesn't care what what you plant but it doesn't care what you plant now let's say that the farmer you plant now let's say that the farmer you plant now let's say that the farmer has two seeds in his hand one is a seed has two seeds in his hand one is a seed has two seeds in his hand one is a seed of corn of corn of corn the other is nightshade a deadly poison the other is nightshade a deadly poison the other is nightshade a deadly poison he digs two liver holes in the earth and he digs two liver holes in the earth and he digs two liver holes in the earth and he plants both seeds one corn the other he plants both seeds one corn the other he plants both seeds one corn the other night said he covers up the holes waters night said he covers up the holes waters night said he covers up the holes waters and takes care of the land and what will and takes care of the land and what will and takes care of the land and what will happen invariably the land will return happen invariably the land will return happen invariably the land will return what's planted as it's written in the what's planted as it's written in the what's planted as it's written in the Bible as you sow so shall you reap Bible as you sow so shall you reap Bible as you sow so shall you reap I remember the land doesn't care it'll I remember the land doesn't care it'll I remember the land doesn't care it'll return poisoning just as wonderful return poisoning just as wonderful return poisoning just as wonderful abundance as a little corn so up come abundance as a little corn so up come abundance as a little corn so up come the two plants one corn one poison now the two plants one corn one poison now the two plants one corn one poison now the human mind is far more fertile far the human mind is far more fertile far the human mind is far more fertile far more incredible and mysterious than the more incredible and mysterious than the more incredible and mysterious than the land but it works the same way it land but it works the same way it land but it works the same way it doesn't care what we plant doesn't care what we plant doesn't care what we plant success/failure a concrete worthwhile

success/failure a concrete worthwhile success/failure a concrete worthwhile goal or confusion misunderstanding fear goal or confusion misunderstanding fear goal or confusion misunderstanding fear anxiety and so on but what we plant it anxiety and so on but what we plant it anxiety and so on but what we plant it must return to us you see the human mind must return to us you see the human mind must return to us you see the human mind is the last great unexplored continent is the last great unexplored continent is the last great unexplored continent on earth it contains riches beyond our on earth it contains riches beyond our on earth it contains riches beyond our wildest dreams it will return anything wildest dreams it will return anything wildest dreams it will return anything we want to plant now you might say well we want to plant now you might say well we want to plant now you might say well if that's true why don't people use if that's true why don't people use if that's true why don't people use their minds more well I think they their minds more well I think they their minds more well I think they figured out an answer to that one to our figured out an answer to that one to our figured out an answer to that one to our mind comes a standard equipment at birth mind comes a standard equipment at birth mind comes a standard equipment at birth it's free and things have been given to it's free and things have been given to it's free and things have been given to us for nothing we place little value on us for nothing we place little value on us for nothing we place little value on things that we pay money for we value things that we pay money for we value things that we pay money for we value the paradox is that exactly the reverse the paradox is that exactly the reverse the paradox is that exactly the reverse is true everything that's really is true everything that's really is true everything that's really worthwhile in life came to us free our worthwhile in life came to us free our worthwhile in life came to us free our minds our souls our bodies our hopes our minds our souls our bodies our hopes our minds our souls our bodies our hopes our dreams our ambitions our intelligence dreams our ambitions our intelligence dreams our ambitions our intelligence our love of family and children and our love of family and children and our love of family and children and friends and country all these priceless friends and country all these priceless friends and country all these priceless possessions possessions possessions we but the things that cost us money are we but the things that cost us money are we but the things that cost us money are actually very cheap and can be replaced actually very cheap and can be replaced actually very cheap and can be replaced at any time a good man can be completely at any time a good man can be completely at any time a good man can be completely wiped out and make another fortune he wiped out and make another fortune he wiped out and make another fortune he can be there several times even of our can be there several times even of our can be there several times even of our home burns down we can rebuild it but home burns down we can rebuild it but home burns down we can rebuild it but the things we got for nothing we can the things we got for nothing we can the things we got for nothing we can never replace the human mind isn't used never replace the human mind isn't used never replace the human mind isn't used because we take it for granted because we take it for granted because we take it for granted familiarity breeds contempt it can do familiarity breeds contempt it can do familiarity breeds contempt it can do any kind of job we assign to it but any kind of job we assign to it but any kind of job we assign to it but generally speaking these are four little generally speaking these are four little generally speaking these are four little jobs instead of big important ones jobs instead of big important ones jobs instead of big important ones universities have proved that most of us universities have proved that most of us universities have proved that most of us are operating on about 10 percent or are operating on about 10 percent or are operating on about 10 percent or less of our abilities so decide now what less of our abilities so decide now what less of our abilities so decide now what is it you want plant your goal in your is it you want plant your goal in your is it you want plant your goal in your mind it's the most important decision

screen of your town and ask one man screen of your town and ask one man after another what the secret of success after another what the secret of success after another what the secret of success is and you probably wouldn't run into is and you probably wouldn't run into is and you probably wouldn't run into one man in a month who could tell you one man in a month who could tell you one man in a month who could tell you now this information is enormous we now this information is enormous we now this information is enormous we valuable to us if we really understand valuable to us if we really understand valuable to us if we really understand it and apply it it's valuable to us not it and apply it it's valuable to us not it and apply it it's valuable to us not only for our own lives but the lives of only for our own lives but the lives of only for our own lives but the lives of those around us our families employee is those around us our families employee is those around us our families employee is associates and Friends wife should be an associates and Friends wife should be an associates and Friends wife should be an exciting adventure it should never be a exciting adventure it should never be a exciting adventure it should never be a bore a man should live fully be alive it bore a man should live fully be alive it bore a man should live fully be alive it should be glad to get out of bed in the should be glad to get out of bed in the should be glad to get out of bed in the morning he should be doing a job he morning he should be doing a job he morning he should be doing a job he likes to do because he does it well one likes to do because he does it well one likes to do because he does it well one time I heard Grove Patterson the great time I heard Grove Patterson the great time I heard Grove Patterson the great plate editor-in-chief of the Toledo plate editor-in-chief of the Toledo plate editor-in-chief of the Toledo daily Blade make a speech and as he daily Blade make a speech and as he daily Blade make a speech and as he concluded his speech he said something concluded his speech he said something concluded his speech he said something I've never forgotten he said my years in I've never forgotten he said my years in I've never forgotten he said my years in the newspaper business have convinced me the newspaper business have convinced me the newspaper business have convinced me of several things of several things of several things among them that people are basically among them that people are basically among them that people are basically good and that we came from someplace and good and that we came from someplace and good and that we came from someplace and were going someplace so we should make were going someplace so we should make were going someplace so we should make our time here an exciting adventure the our time here an exciting adventure the our time here an exciting adventure the architect of the universe didn't build a architect of the universe didn't build a architect of the universe didn't build a stairway leading nowhere and the stairway leading nowhere and the stairway leading nowhere and the greatest teacher of all the carpenter greatest teacher of all the carpenter greatest teacher of all the carpenter from the plains of Galilee he gave us from the plains of Galilee he gave us from the plains of Galilee he gave us the secret time and time again as he the secret time and time again as he the secret time and time again as he believed so shall it be done unto you believed so shall it be done unto you believed so shall it be done unto you I've explained the strangest secret in I've explained the strangest secret in I've explained the strangest secret in the world and how it works now on this the world and how it works now on this the world and how it works now on this side I want to explain how you can prove side I want to explain how you can prove side I want to explain how you can prove to yourself the enormous returns to yourself the enormous returns to yourself the enormous returns possible in your own life by putting the possible in your own life by putting the possible in your own life by putting the secret to a practical test I want you to secret to a practical test I want you to secret to a practical test I want you to make a test of the last 30 days it isn't make a test of the last 30 days it isn't make a test of the last 30 days it isn't going to be easy but if you'll give it a going to be easy but if you'll give it a going to be easy but if you'll give it a good try it will completely change your
