Great success and happiness come when you identify your nat-
ural abilities, and then concentrate on developing along the lines of
your inborn talents. It is almost as though you are engineered for
success in a specific way, and if you can find the area for which you
were specifically designed, you will achieve more in a few years than
most people achieve in a lifetime.

LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANCE
You leave nothing to chance.You don’t hope for miracles or wish for
a lucky break.You recognize that if it’s to be, it’s up to 
you
.
Since you know you are going to have to spend the rest of your
life working at 
something
, you decide in advance that you will do
what you love to do. You will become everything you are capable of
becoming by developing your unique talents and abilities, wherever
they lead. You will work only at something you enjoy, with people
you enjoy, doing work that makes a difference in the world.
You set high standards for yourself. You think positively and
constructively about your career and your future. You recognize
that anything that anyone else has done you can do as well. Once
you have decided what it is you want to do, you throw your whole
heart into doing it in an excellent fashion. And as a result, you be-
come
unstoppable
