Most people pave their way to success through hard work. Success achieved in this way is a rest one, and fills you with genuine pride. Those who hold key positions undeservedly are like men with crutches who can only limp along but cannot run.
A good mark of a healthy personality is sobriety in dress, manners and speech. To make a good impression on others, it is not necessary that you should be very smartly dressed. No one likes a clown except for temporary amusement. Neat and sober dress is the universal hall-mark of a gentleman.
This principle applies to talk as well. Some people indulge in coarse and foul talk in order to make themselves the focus of other’s attention. But actually, this is wrong. Coarse and foul talk can’t give real pleasure. It sickens after a while. So you should cultivate the habit of clean, straight, strong talk. Any man, anywhere, anytime, will stop and listen to such talk.
The grooming of your personality is not complete yet. Your dress, manners and speech create only a first good impression. The first impression is not always the last impression, as some think. This is only a begginning. Promises, they say, win friends, but it is performance that keeps them. And performance needs sincerity.
If you do not redeem your promises and help people, they will very soon get disenchanted with you. Thus a first impression is not all. It is the real man that counts, the man inside the clothes, the man behind the smile.
To be successful, a person must know what makes people tick and know how to make them tick in the desired manner. A well-groomed personality does it all. You also know now that personality is not wholly a divine gift. Your personality is largely what you make it.
HAVE A GREAT DAY, AND REMEMBER, ONE OF THE VERY BEST WAY TO ACHIEVE GREATNESS IS TO SEE IN YOURSELF, GREATNESS!!!
