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 and 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.

The road to success is a straight and narrow path; it is a road of loving absorption, of undivided attention. “You attract the things you give a great deal of thought to.” So if you give a great deal of thought to lack, you attract lack, if you give a great deal of thought to injustice, you attract more injustice.
