As an adult I often wondered why I wasn't succeeding in life like I wanted to, then I was introduced to the "Strangest Secret" by Earl Nightingale. In 1956, he produced a spoken word record which sold over a million copies, making it the first spoken-word recording to achieve gold record status. I would listen to it over and over again in my home and car, I truly wanted to be successful not only for myself but for my family as well.
