I'd like to tell you about the strangest secret in the world
Some years ago, the late Nobel Prize winning Dr. Albert Schweitzer was being interviewed in London
And a reporter asked him
Doctor, what's wrong with men today

And the great doctor was silent a moment and then he said
Men simply don't think
It's about this that I want to talk with you
We live today in a golden age

An era that man has looked forward to, dreamed of, and worked toward for thousands of years
But since it's here, we pretty well take it for granted
We in America are particularly fortunate to live in the richest land that ever existed on the face of the earth
A land of abundant opportunity for everyone

But do you know what happens
Let's take a hundred men who start even at the age of 25
Do you have any idea what will happen to those men by the time they're 65
These 100 men who all start even at the age of 25 believe they're going to be successful

If you asked any one of these men if he wanted to be a success, he'd tell you he did
And you'd notice that he was eager toward life, that there was a certain sparkle to his eye
an erectness to his carriage, and life seemed like a pretty interesting adventure to him
But by the time they're 65, one will be rich

Four will be financially independent
Five will still be working
Fifty-four will be broke
Now think a moment, out of the 100, only five make the grade

Now why do so many fail
What has happened to the sparkle that was there when they were 25
What's become of the dreams, the hopes, the plans
And why is there such a large disparity between what these men intended to do and what they actually accomplished

When we say about 5% achieve success, we have to define success
And here's the best definition I've ever been able to find
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal
If a man is working toward a predetermined goal and knows where he's going, that man is a success

If he's not doing that, he's a failure
Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal
Rollo May, the distinguished psychiatrist, wrote a wonderful book called Man's Search for Himself
And in this book, he says, the opposite of courage in our society is not cowardice

It is conformity
And there you have the trouble today
It's conformity, people acting like everyone else without knowing why, without knowing where they're going
Now think of it

In America right now, there are over 18 million people 65 years of age and older
And most of them are broke
They're dependent on someone else for life necessities
Now we learn to read by the time we're seven

We learn to make a living by the time we're 25
Usually by that time, we're not only making a living, we're supporting a family
And yet by the time we're 65, we haven't learned how to become financially independent in the richest land that has ever been known
Why

We conform
And the trouble is that we're acting like the wrong percentage group, the 95 who don't succeed
Now why do these people conform
Well, they really don't know

These people believe that their lives are shaped by circumstances, by things that happen to them, by exterior forces
They're outer directive people
A survey was made one time that covered a lot of men working men
And these men were asked, why do you work

Why do you get up in the morning
19 out of 20 had no idea
If you ask them, they'll say, well, everyone goes to work in the morning
And that's the reason they do it, because everyone else is doing it

Now let's get back to our definition of success
Who succeeds
Any person who succeeds is the person who is progressively realizing a worthy ideal
