Success Breeds Success

------------------------------------------------------
- by Bruno Gideon

Waiting for success to automatically fall into your lap just doesn’t cut it. It only comes to those who are actively engaged in searching for new ideas, new possibilities, or new ways to improve their personal and professional life. And because many people are involved in the same search, we have to work at it a little harder.

Chance knocks at the door more often than we think, but most of the time nobody is home.
– Will Rogers

For true success ask yourself these four questions: “Why? Why not? Why not me? Why not now?"
– James Allen

Here is an interesting story. It’s about four colleagues: Anybody, Nobody, Somebody, and Everybody.

An important job had to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

None of these sorry souls will ever be successful.
