Successful people take a keen interest in people, especially those with whom they have something in common, and cultivate a bond of friendship with them. The failure cultivates only those from whom he or she wants something. Successful people are open-minded and tolerant on all subjects, toward all people. The failure has a closed mind, steeped in intolerance, which shuts him or her off from the recognition of favorable opportunities and the friendly cooperation of others. Successful people keep abreast of the times and make it an important responsibility to know what is going on, not only in their own business, profession or community, but also throughout the entire world.
Successful people keep their minds and outlook on life positive at all times.
They recognize that the space they occupy in the world and the success they enjoy depend upon the quantity and quality of service they render. They make it a habit to render more service than they promise. And when he or she fails to get it, he or she blames the greed of others. Successful people have a keen respect for their Creator and express it frequently through prayers and deeds of helpfulness to others. The failure believes in nothing but his or her own desire for food and shelter and seeks those at the expense of others when and where he or she can.
