Looking for Earl Nightingale’s The Strangest Secret PDF? You can download it here.
The Strangest Secret was a 1956 spoken word record by Earl Nightingale, which sold over one million copies and received the first Gold Record for the spoken word. It remains one of the most powerful and influential messages ever recorded. It continues to transform the lives of everyone who hears and heeds it.
“Do you know what will happen to 100 individuals who start even at the age of 25, and who believe they will be successful? By the age of 65, only five out of 100 will make the grade! Why do so many fail?
What happened to the sparkle that was there when they were 25? What became of their dreams, their hopes, their plans … and why is there such a large disparity between what theses people intended to do and what they actually accomplished? That is … The Strangest Secret.” Earl Nightingale, The Strangest Secret
“Prescription for success: listen or read twice a month for the next ten years, then once
a month forever.” – Earl Nightingale, The Strangest Secret
The Strangest Secret PDF – What Is Success?
“First, we have to define success and here is the best definition I’ve ever been able to
find: “Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal.”” – Earl Nightingale, The Strangest Secret
Success is entirely personal, and everyone has a unique approach to the idea of what success means for them.
“A success is anyone who is realizing a worthy predetermined ideal, because that’s
what he or she decided to do … deliberately.” – The Strangest Secret
“Think of a ship with the complete voyage mapped out and planned. The captain and crew know exactly where the ship is going and how long it will take — it has a definite goal. And 9,999 times out of 10,000, it will get there.”
Compare this to a ship with no destination, no map and no rudder! It will be carried by the waves and the wind. This is how many people live their lives, with no predetermined destination or goal.
The Strangest Secret PDF – Thoughts Become Things
“…the key to success and the key to failure is this: WE BECOME WHAT WE THINK ABOUT” – Earl Nightingale The Strangest Secret
Here is it again! – The old maxim that thoughts become things, which appears in many of the pdf books I’ve shared on this website.
“This is The Strangest Secret! Now, why do I say it’s strange, and why do I call it a secret? Actually, it isn’t a secret at all. It was first promulgated by some of the earliest wise men, and it appears again and again throughout the Bible. But very few people have learned it or understand it. That’s why it’s strange, and why for some equally strange reason it virtually remains a secret.” Earl Nightingale
“A person who is thinking about a concrete and worthwhile goal is going to reach it, because that’s what he’s thinking about. Conversely, the person who has no goal, who doesn’t know
where he’s going, and whose thoughts must therefore be thoughts of confusion, anxiety, fear, and worry will thereby create a life of frustration, fear, anxiety and worry. And if he thinks about nothing … he becomes nothing”
30 Day Action Plan
For the next 30-days follow each of these steps every day until you have achieved
your goal.
- Write on a card what it is you want more that anything else. It may be more money.
Perhaps you’d like to double your income or make a specific amount of money.
Write down on your card specifically what it is you want. Make sure it’s a single goal
and clearly defined. … … immediately you have something to work for, something to live for.
Look at it every chance you get during the day and just before going to bed at night.
As you look at it, remember that you must become what you think about, and since
you’re thinking about your goal, you realize that soon it will be yours. - Stop thinking about what it is you fear. Each time a fearful or negative thought
comes into your mind, replace it with a mental picture of your positive and
worthwhile goal. And there will come a time when you’ll feel like giving up. It’s
easier for a human being to think negatively than positively. That’s why only five
percent are successful! You must begin now to place yourself in that group. - Your success will always be measured by the quality and quantity of service you
render. Most people will tell you that they want to make money, without
understanding this law. The only people who make money work in a mint. The rest of
us must earn money. This is what causes those who keep looking for something for
nothing, or a free ride, to fail in life. Success is not the result of making money;
earning money is the result of success — and success is in direct proportion to our
service.
Summary
The Strangest Secret is a powerful book for it’s few pages. So if you’ haven’t downloaded my other recommended pdf’s because you’re strapped for time this is a great one to pick up. At only 10 pages it packs a powerful punch and includes much of the content of the great classics in a condensed version.
