If you aspire to reach the peak in life and enjoy glory and esteem among your colleagues and fellows, you must first weave an excellent pattern of your personality. The way to do it is here.
No one can command respect from others unless he is successful in his work. To be successful is not an impossible thing. Anyone, regardless of his station in life, can become successful. The degree of success you enjoy will depend on how much effort you are willing to expend and how you approach the task.
Talent without the will to work is as useless as a boat without an oar. It is through work alone that we can demonstrate our intelligence and talent to others. Without such a demonstration, you cannot hope to reap any benefits. You may feel that you do not possess talent. Absurd, We all are endowed with a talent in varying degrees.
What you have to do is to perfect that talent through application. For this, you must develop grit and patience.
You and Your Fortune
Fortune is painted blind, with a muffer afore her eyes, to signify to you that Fortune is blind, and she is painted also with a wheel, to signify to you, which is the moral of it, that she is turning and inconstant, and mutability and variation; and her foot, look you, is fixed upon a spherical stone which rolls and rolls and rolls.
—Shakespeare
A great fortune is a great slavery.
–Seneca
Fortune is like glass—the brighter the glitter, the more easily broken.
—Publilius Syrus
Efficiency in work does not come overnight. The path is sometimes rugged. If you receive jerks and jolts, you should not feel disheartened. It is just a test of your man hood, which you surely have in abundance in yourself.
