[Pushing to the Front by Orison Swett Marden]@TWC D-Link bookPushing to the Front CHAPTER XVI 11/24
Everything seems to point their way, for the same reason that the steel particles point toward the magnet,--because they are attracted. Such men are business magnets.
Business moves toward them, even when they do not apparently make half so much effort to get it as the less successful.
Their friends call them "lucky dogs." But if we analyze these men closely, we find that they have attractive qualities.
There is usually some charm of personality about them that wins all hearts. Many successful business and professional men would be surprised, if they should analyze their success, to find what a large percentage of it is due to their habitual courtesy and other popular qualities.
Had it not been for these, their sagacity, long-headedness, and business training would not, perhaps, have amounted to half so much; for, no matter how able a man may be, if his coarse, rude manners drive away clients, patients, or customers, if his personality repels, he will always be placed at a disadvantage. It pays to cultivate popularity.
