  1. Good habits are the key to all success… I will form good habits and become the slave of my habits.
  2. I will greet each day with love in my heart…I will decide to love.
  3. I will persist until I succeed… Each failure increases opportunity of success. I will not allow yesterday’s success to lull me into complacency.
  4. I am nature’s greatest miracle… there is no one like me, with unlimited potential, unique, and always improving my manners and grace.
  5. I will live this day as if it were my last… I will not waste a moment on yesterday’s errors, doubts, failures, or procrastination.
  6. Today I will be the master of my emotions… I will bring my” weather” with me, of joy and happiness. I will face my fears head-on.
  7. I will laugh at the world…. I will remember that mistakes are short lived, will pass, and therefore arrive at a new perspective.
  8. I will multiply my value 100 times… I will set daily, weekly, monthly and a yearly goals. I will aim high and surpass my own deeds.
  9. I will act now… Action is to food and drink that will nourish my success.
  10. I will pray every day for guidance… I will not seek for worldly goods, but rather a long-term perspective that values people and relationships.

My father Bob really loved this guy…. and now I understand why… he’s got a lot of cool stuff.   My dad gave me the Greatest Salesman in college, but I never bothered to read it.  We should learn to listen or parents and obey them.
