THE HIGHEST OF DISTINCTIONS IS SERVICE TO OTHERS

The truly successful person doesn't use others; other people use the successful person. If you can contribute to others, no matter how small your talent, you too can become successful. The measure of anyone is the number of people that they serve.

Service to others is the essence of success. No one achieves success without being of service. All great men and women became successful because they gave some talent or ability in the service of others.

Everybody has to be somebody to somebody to be anybody.

(a story from a prophet) A woman, a few days after that He was passing through a crowd going to heal a little sick girl, and a woman touched His garment. She said in herself, "If I can touch Him, I'll be well. He's a holy Man, and I believe Him to be just what He says He is." She touched His garment, and--and she ran back and hid herself in the crowd.
Jesus said, "Who touched Me? Who touched Me?"
And EVERYBODY... She and all of them... NOBODY... "No, I never touched You."
And Peter, always, you know, with his boldness he stood out and said, "Lord, how could ANYBODY tell? EVERYBODY'S touching You and why saith Thou, 'Who touched Me?' Why stop the--the procession as we're going on, standing here saying, 'Who touched Me, who touched Me?' when everybody's just a loving around You and everything."
He said, "Yes, but I got weak. SOMEBODY touched Me with faith."

OPPORTUNITY APPEARS WHEN YOU ARE READY

Chance is turned into good fortune by successful people. You are surrounded by all kinds of opportunity. Luck is being at the right place at the right time. Taking advantage of an opportunity is always under your control. When you are mentally prepared the right opportunity will present itself.

Talent alone won't make you successful. Neither will being at the right place at the right time unless you are ready. When the student is ready, the teacher appears.

YOU DO NOT EXIST FOR YOURSELF

Your success depends on the support of other people. The only hurdle between you and what you want to be is the support of others. Put yourself in another's place and you'll know why they think and do certain things. You can succeed fastest by helping others to succeed. A great man once said “I’d rather have the effort of 100 men doing 1% each than to have my 100% effort doing 1 Job”.

Always think in terms of what the other person wants. You'll get everything in life that you want if you'll help enough other people get what they want. Doing things for others always pays dividends. For God won’t ask you what you did for yourself but how well you helped those that come on your way.

You're not an isolated island. You're a piece of the planet, a piece of the universe. Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows. When you help someone's boat across a river, you'll find your own boat has reached the shore too.

This is the word of GOD!

SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF WELL DIRECTED ENERGY

The first rule of success, and one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It's important to know how to concentrate it. Focus your energy on important matters instead of frittering it away on meaningless things.

Nothing will add more power to your life then concentrating all your energies on a limited set of goals. You must focus the full power of all you are on what you have a burning desire to achieve if you truly want to be successful.

Gather in your resources, rally all your faculties, marshal all your energies, and focus all your capacities upon attaining your objectives. You must be single minded, and drive for the things you have decided upon.
