And I peeped the answers and passed the test. Visualizing works

The book taught me to visualize what I want. Of getting a better job. Don't matter what steps I took. I'm not smart individual to pass test no matter how many hours I study. it always keeps me back.

Ok, so...you need an operation. The surgeon who will operate on you cheated his way thru his exams, just like you. You sure you want him to operate?
Or an engineer who designed that bridge you need to go over cheated his way thru his tests.
Or the air traffic controller directing your flight cheated on his exams.
BUT! They visualized themselves into their jobs, so all is good!

As a bookseller, there were various sections in my store that we called the 'Woowoo' shelves. The Secret was shelved there.

So many women I know recommended this book to me. They kept talking about making vision boards and daily affirmations. Not for me. Most of the visions boards I have seen or read about have pictures of mansions, money, lots of cash that they cut out from magazines. Not my kind of visions.

Although it didn't change my life because I was already using these techniques before it came out. I relied on two other books to learn how to use the universal laws of manifestation: Lessons in Truth by H. Emilie Cady, and Creative Visualization by Shakti Gawain. By the time The Secret came along, I had been using the basic principles to change my life for the better for a good 15+ years.
