This document discusses the secret common denominator of success. It argues that success is achieved through developing a positive self-image and applying principles like giving, visualization, and persistence. It asserts that one's self-image is formed by past experiences but can be changed by realizing it was made in error, deciding who you want to be, writing it down, and spending time as that person daily. The key message is that success is a choice within one's control, not predetermined by luck or chance.

A PROPER SELF-IMAGE
1 The image you have of yourself today exists
because of experiences you have had in the past.
2 The experiences of the past have not made you
the way you are. They have only made you
believe you are the way you are.
3 It is in the process of believing that you are the
way you are that the image is formed.
4 Everything that you think and do, is consistent
with the image that you have of yourself.
5 You are not locked into your self-image. It was
made in error and so it can be changed!

All men seek one goal: success or happiness.
- Aristotle -
The only way to achieve true success is to
express yourself completely in your task.
First, have a definite, clear, practical ideal –
a goal, an objective.
Second, have the necessary means to achieve
your ends - wisdom, materials and methods.
Third, adjust your means to that end.
