In the 1920's Napoleon Hill revealed that the secret to success is that your thinking determines what you create.
When delivering a speech to the industry leaders at the time, he told them not to worry because even though he attempted to explain the secret to many "common people," most never did anything with the information.
Also in the 1920's a Harvard graduate named Johnson O'Connor was commissioned by General Electric to find out why people only reached certain levels of success in life and never went further. They wanted to know why their employees couldn't adapt to rapid technological changes and learn new skills with ease.
Johnson O'Connor studied every factor he could come up with. He even created the Human Engineering Laboratory with labs around the country to study people of all walks of life and every level of success.
What he found was that those with the most effective vocabularies in their field had the most success in their field. Those with the most effective vocabularies GENERALLY had the highest positions in society and the highest incomes. In the professions, presidents and CEO's have the most effective vocabularies. He proved through his research that that no other factor predicted success in life better than vocabulary.
He even created a mathematical formula that allowed him to predict a person's IQ and SAT score based on their result on a vocabulary test.
He said in one paper his Laboratory published that, "Words are the tools of thought."
What he discovered was WHY the elite people Napoleon Hill studied WERE ABLE to THINK DIFFERENTLY than the average person. Their vocabularies were more effective.
And yet this has been known, just like the Secret, for more than a hundred years and still the average person is still struggling with success.
The education system has known "the secret" to an effective education for some time and yet studies show that people are less educated on average than people were 50 or 60 years ago.
Knowing these secrets is not enough because the environment that the elite grow up in is designed to instill an effective vocabulary from a young age. For the average person, it is designed to do the opposite. (Think: media, education, etc.)
What if there were a tool that was designed based on how your brain ACTUALLY works and could increase your vocabulary to the level of unconscious competence with EVERY WORD in existence? Will it take time? Of course! There are a lot of words!
The problem is that you have been trained and instilled with neuropathways from a young age to only MEMORIZE information and not PHYSICALLY INTEGRATE it. That is why people study, study, study in school but forget most of what they "learned" soon after the test.
Would you rather memorize things or KNOW them?
If there was something that could make you more effective in ANY AREA of life where you want to improve, would you be interested?
