A successful man is always asked--"What is the secret of your success?" People never ask a man who is a failure "What is the secret of your failure?" It is quite easy to see that they are not interested. People all want to know how to open the secret door of success. For each man there is success, but it seems to be behind a door or wall. If you are a failure and resent the success of someone else, you are keeping away your own success. I have given the following statement toneutralize envy and resentment: What God has done for others. He now does for me and more. A good character and a smile, often opens the secret door. The Chinese say, "A man without a smiling face must not open a shop." The success of a smile was brought out in a French movie inwhich Chevalier took the lead; the movie was called With a Smile. One of the characters had become poor, dreary and frustrated. He said to Chevalier, "What good has my honesty done me?" Chevalier replied, "Even honesty won't help you, without a smile:" So the man changed on the spot, cheered up, and became very successful. Living in the past and complaining of your misfortunes build a thick wall keeping you away from your success .Talking too much about your affairs and scattering your complaints bring you up against a high wall. Here is a man of brains and ability, who was a complete failure. He lived with his mother and aunt, and every night when he went home to dinner, he told them all that had taken place during the day at the office; he discussed his hopes, his fears, and his failures. It was said to him, "You scatter your complaints by talking about your affairs. Don't discuss your business with your family. Silence is Golden!" He took the advice. During dinner he refused to talk about business. His mother and aunt were in despair. They loved to hear all about everything, but his silence proved golden! Not long after, he was given a position at 100dollars a week, and in a few years, he had a salary of 300 dollars a week. 1 Why is the secret of failure seldom asked?
