Enthusiasm

r round us, no matter where our feet may wander, bringing us the fruits 16 of our life's greatness. Success then is ours, to remain with us. Everyone seeks to receive something from and give something to the one who stands ever ready to give and receive. Our personality and character becomes, then, our guarantee of ability; and the gentle attention, the sympathetic understanding, endears us to our friends and home, while our geniality, patience, forbearance and tranquillity make us indispensable in the big discordant world of work and conquest. 17 FIFTH SUCCESS METHOD MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS WHEN one has found themselves, made his or her plans, taken the attitude of active patience, cleaned up their moods, what is needed to precipitate into form one's heart's desire?
