Success: Six Ingredients

Decades ago, I wrote the six ingredients of  a successful life on a manila folder and tacked it on my sewing room wall. When I find that advice from time to time, I recall that success is an interior, self-defined experience and am gladdened. For all of these years, I thought this wisdom’s source was unknown. Ahhh. The internet finds many things. The success advice is from William C. Menninger.  Next, I sought a quote to accompany the six success keys and found Thomas Jefferson’s words, “One man with courage is a majority.” Imagine a world of majorities who create success with these six ingredients: SINCERITY:  honest, genuine, trustworthy PERSONAL INTEGRITY: upright, whole, moral HUMILITY:  modest, free from pride COURTESY:  polite, respectful, kind WISDOM:  good sense, sane, smart CHARITY: caring, offering assistance, good will Onward and Upward Sandra Gould Ford Shop the Inspiring, Beautiful Succeed and Soar Collections Click Here
