THE ART OF SUCCESS (by: Wilferd Peterson)

"THE ART OF SUCCESS"

There are no secrets of success. Success is doing the things
you know you should do. Success is not doing the things you know
you should not do.

Success is not limited to any one area of your life. It
encompasses all of the facets of your relationships: as parent,
as wife or husband, as citizen, neighbour, worker and all of the
others.

Success is not confined to any one part of your personality but
is related to the development of all the parts: body, mind, heart
and spirit. It is making the most of your TOTAL SELF.

Success is discovering your best talents, skills and abilities
and applying them where they will make the most effective
contribution to your fellow men. In the words of Longfellow, it
is "doing what you do well, and doing well whatever you do."

Success is harnessing your heart to a task you love to do. It is
falling in love with your work. It demands intense concentration
on your chief aim in life. It is focusing the full power of all
you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve.

Success is ninety-nine per cent mental attitude. It calls for
love, joy, optimism, confidence, serenity, poise, faith, courage,
cheerfulness, imagination, initiative, tolerance, honesty,
humility, patience and enthusiasm.

Success is not arriving at the summit of a mountain as a final
destination. It is a continuing upward spiral of progress. It
is perpetual growth.

Success is having the courage to meet failure without being
defeated. It is refusing to let present loss interfere with
your long-range goal.

Success is accepting the challenge of the difficult. In the
inspiring words of Phillips Brooks: "Do not pray for tasks equal
to your powers. Pray for powers equal to your tasks. Then the
doing of your work shall be no miracle, but you shall be the
miracle."
