The Fourth Vow of Success

"Never will I be disaggreable to a living soul."

I will treat others in the way I want to be treated.

I will smile at every person I meet, whether my friend or enemy, so they will reply in kind.

I will praise each one for every good deed so one can recognize the goodness in me.

I will show concern for others so they won't turn their backs on me when I need help.

I will bestow a smile and a kind word to open more doors and to soften calloused hearts.

A simple act of kindness and caring words will soothe, quiet and comfort a distressed soul every minute of every hour of every day.

At the end of the day, I pray that at least I have made one person a little happier, or a little wiser or even a little more content with himself.

The Third Vow of Success

"Always will I bathe my days in the golden glow of enthusiasm."

I will arm myself with three powerful allies: confidence, pride and enthusiasm.

I am confident that I can face every challenge that I will encounter everyday.

I am proud that I can perform every task to the best of my ability.

I am a child that can always greet everyday with enthusiasm.

I will sustain my enthusiasm indefinitely, honestly and sincerely so that it becomes a habit.

I will be fearless like the youth in my quest for truth, energy and beauty.

"Today, I will raise my candle on high and smile at everyone."

The Second Vow of Success

"Never again will I greet the dawn without a map."

I will set goals for the day, the week, the month, the year and my life.

My dreams are my wish list.

My goals are those I want to accomplish before the end of the day which serve as the bricks of my future home.

As I fulfill every small task of the day, no matter how boring or menial it may be, I will be able to build my castle one brick at a time to house my dreams.

The First Vow Of Success

One of my favorite authors, Og Mandino, in his book, "The Greatest Salesman in the World Part II The End of the Story", mentioned the first vow of success: "Never again will I pity or belittle myself."

Thus, no longer will I look down on myself, my accomplishments or lack of it. I was born to succeed, to triumph and to toast victories.

I am my worst enemy.

I am not a coward, a miser or a fool.

A coward thinks he is just being cautious. While a miser believes that he is just being frugal.

I am wise. I am happy. I am not a fool.

A wise man learns from his own experience. A happy man learns from the experience of others. Whereas, a fool neither learns from his experience nor from the experience of others.

God created me in His own image and likeness. He gifted me with skills, intelligence, courage and ambition unique to me. There is nothing I cannot achieve if I believe in myself and I seek for His guidance.
