I learnt the Book of OG Mandino,two years ago. I excited so much about the book contents. From this book I learnt the following vows which I would like other to learn. The great Salesman in the World (1968)
SCROLL I:
Everyday
a person is reborn. He can forget the failure of the past. Habits are the
difference between success and failure. Therefore in order to achieve success
it is necessary to form good habits and become their slave.
SCROLL II:
Love
can be the salesman’s greatest weapon, for even people reject many particulars concerning the
salesman’s wares, love will soften them. Love can be developed by always
looking for the best in people. Each time we meet someone we should state
silently, “I love you” But in order to others, we must love ourselves, treat
ourselves with respect, and not be satisfied with anything but our finest
efforts.
SCROLL III
I
will persist until I succeed. People are born to succeed, not to fail. Every
failure moves a man closer to success. When the day ends and the salesman wants
to quite, he must force himself to make one more sale to end the day with
success.
SCROLL IV
People
are nature’s greatest miracle. Each person is different in appearances as well
as ability and we should capitalize on, rather than despise these differences.
We should concentrate on the task at hand.
SCROLL V
Live
each day as if it were your last. Dwelling on the failures or misfortunes of
the past is useless, for we cannot change them.
SCROLL VI
We
are masters over our emotion. Strong is he who forces his actions to control
his thoughts.
SCROLL VII
Cultivate
the habits of laughter. Whenever things seem to be serious or dismal, repeat
the word “This too shall pass”
SCROLL VIII:
Seek out opportunities and experiences that will multiply in
value.
A grain of wheat has not choice as to what it will become-whether
it will be ground into bread or planted in the earth to multiply but each human
being has choice to grow or to perish. In order to multiply in value, we must
set goals, short term as well as long term. We must not worry if we experience
initial failure in reaching our goals.
SCROLL IX:
Our
dream and plans are of no value without action. Procrastination comes from
fear, and we overcome fear only through action.
SCROLL X:
True
believe will pray for guidance. He calls on God not for materials things, but
for the knowledge to understand the way to acquire what is needed.
Pray
for ability equal to the opportunity, for good habits, for love, to use words
well, to humbly forge all obstacles to reach worthless goals.
