This question has mystified people since humans first became dissatisfied with cave dwellings and tried to find some way to make life more comfortable. Perhaps the following comparisons between the characteristics of a failure and a successful person will help answer the question. Successful people know precisely what they desire, have a plan for getting it, believe in their ability to get it, and devote a major portion of their time to acquiring it.
Successful people think before they speak.
They weigh their words carefully. And they emphasize their likes concerning people, minimizing their dislikes or not mentioning them at all. The unsuccessful person does just the opposite. He or she speaks first, thinks later. His or her words bring only regret and embarrassment and cost him or her irretrievable benefits because of the resentment they engender.
