Article Body:

Life can hold nothing but failure for the ill natured,
 
unsociable, disgusting tramp who is known to be ignorant, lazy, shiftless, a
 
spendthrift, a liar, and an all around crook. Such a worthless
 
man will make a complete failure of life because he is so disqualified
 
to succeed.

On the other hand certain success ought to be achieved by the
 
good-natured, intelligent, reliable man who continually wins
 
friends; the truthful man who has a fine reputation for thrift, honesty,
 
neatness, and love for his work. He seems entirely worthy of
 
success. Yet for reasons that baffle himself and his friends it sometimes
 
happens that such a man is unsuccessful.

The defeat in life of one who appears so deserving of victory
 
seems to prove that success cannot be assured by the development of
 
individual characteristics and by doing specific things. But such a wholly
 
negative conclusion would be wrong. When a worthy man fails, he loses out
 
because he lacks an essential positive factor of certain success--the
 
ability to sell his capabilities. By mastering the selling process this
 
failure can turn himself into a success.

We are sure of the failure of the man who is utterly
 
disqualified to succeed; not because he has particular faults, but because they
 
self-advertise and sell the idea of his disqualifications for
 
success. His characteristics and actions make on our minds an impression
 
of his general worthlessness. Defects are apt to attract attention,
 
while perfection often passes unnoticed.

Millions of worthy men, otherwise qualified for success, have
 
failed solely because their merits were not appreciated and rewarded as
 
they would have been if recognized. Capabilities, like goods, are
 
profitless until they are sold. Therefore the man who deserves
 
to win out in life can make his victory sure only by learning and
 
practicing with skill the certain success methods of the master
 
salesman.

Down through all the ages has come the duty to succeed. It was
 
enjoined in the Parable of the Talents. No one has the right to
 
do less than his best. Then only can he claim full justification for his
 
existence. The Creator accepts no excuses for failure. Every
 
personal quality, and every opportunity to succeed that a man has, must
 
be used, to entitle him to the rewards of success. He owes not only to
 
himself and to his fellows, but also to God, the obligation of
 
developing his utmost capability. If he does not pay dividends on the divine
 
investment in him, his dereliction is justly punished by failure
 
in life. Sometimes he even forfeits the right to live.
