As a
Depression-era child, Earl Nightingale was hungry for knowledge. From the time he
was a young boy, he would frequent the 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 desire to find an answer,
coupled with his natural curiosity about the world and its workings spurred him to become
one of the world’s foremost experts on success and what makes people successful. His early career began when, as a member of
the Marine Corps, he volunteered to work at a local radio station as an announcer. The
Marines also gave him a chance to travel, although he only got as far as Hawaii when the
Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941. Earl managed to be one of the few survivors aboard
the battleship Arizona. After five more years in the service, Earl and his wife moved
first to Phoenix then Chicago to build what was to be a very fruitful career in network
radio.
As the host of his own daily
commentary program on WGN, Earl arranged a deal that also gave him a commission on his own
advertising sales. By 1957, he was so successful, he decided to retire at the age of 35.
In the meantime, he had bought his own insurance company and had spent many hours
motivating its sales force to greater accomplishments. When he decided to go on vacation
for an extended period of time, his sales manager begged him to put his inspirational
words on record. The result later became the recording entitled The Strangest Secret, the
first spoken word message to win a Gold Record by selling over a million copies.
In The Strangest Secret, Earl had
found an answer to the question that had inspired him as a youth and, in turn, found a way
to leave a lasting legacy for others About this time, Earl met a successful businessman by
the name of Lloyd Conant and together they began an “electronic publishing”
company which eventually grew to become a multi-million dollar giant in the
self-improvement field. They also developed a syndicated, 5-minute daily radio program,
Our Changing World, which became the longest-running, most widely syndicated show in
radio.
When Earl Nightingale died on March
28, 1989, Paul Harvey broke the news to the country on his radio program with the words,
“The sonorous voice of the nightingale was stilled.” In the words of his good
friend and commercial announcer, 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.” |
