Quotes by Famous People - Earl Nightingale 1921-1989
Earl Nightingale was a motivational writer and author. He
visited his local library in Long Beach Public Library in California
searching for the answer to the question, “How can a person,
starting from scratch, who has no particular advantage in the world,
reach the goals that he feels are important to him, and
by so doing, make a major contribution to others?”
His career started in the Marine Corps. His volunteer work at a local radio
station paid off in later years when he and
his wife moved first to Phoenix then Chicago to build what
was to be a very successful career in network radio.
He retired from radio and bought his own insurance company where he
spent many hours motivating the sales agents to greater accomplishments.
Before going on an extended vacation, his sales manager convinced
him to put his inspirational words on record. This resulted in the recording
entitled The Strangest Secret, which became a Gold Record - it sold over a million
copies.
To quote Steve King:
“Earl Nightingale never let a day go by that he didn’t learn something new and, in turn, pass it on to others. It was his consuming passion.”
