The search for success has been prominent in the thoughts of countless millions from all walks of life. They yearn for fulfillment and desire to experience life's true riches. This goal is within each person's grasp as they discover those rules, principles, formulas, etc. which if followed properly, will lead to the goal. During man's search, he acquires knowledge, gains experience and becomes inspired - all steps to learning the secrets of success. In this book the author shares from his own successful life the knowledge and experience, which led to his discovery of "the Success System That Never Fails". Very little separates you from success. There is small difference between you and the great people of history. Most of them achieved their greatness not because of great intellect, but because they used the latent power within them to drive themselves up to the top. And you can do it too! How successful you are, in any of your desires, is simply a matter of the right mental attitude and using the easy-to-follow principles in this book. At the age of six he was fighting to survive on the streets of Chicago, peddling newspapers. "Years later," W. Clement Stone wrote, "I used to think of that little boy, almost as if he were not me but some strange friend from long ago. Once, after I had made my fortune and was head of a large insurance empire, I analyzed that boy's actions in the light of what I had learned." Stone's conclusions, that there were three necessary ingredients for success, are the essence of this classic. These three qualities--inspiration to action, know-how, and activity--can be acquired by anyone regardless of his or her current environment, age, color, occupation, or education. "Success," he explains, "is achieved by those who try and keep trying." The key to Stone's success actually lies in the title of his book -- The System. By defining a success system, you are creating a recipe for success that can be used by others and doesn't depend on personality. The Success System That Never Fails is another self-improvement classic that should be on your reading list. In the audio book version of The Success System That Never Fails W.Clement Stone explains in his own words how he first discovered and utilized this success system. He then goes on to describe mental and physical action that can help you achieve your desires and goals. This message has helped countless thousands, and it can do the same for you! This audio will teach you how to practice the art of motivation and how to develop a positive mental attitude. * * * * * * As You

Will Begin to Awaken the
Latent Potential Within YOU! How
successful you are — in any of your desires — is simply a matter of the

THERE REALLY BE A SYSTEM FOR
SUCCESS? An
Introduction "A
small drop of ink makes thousands, perhaps millions... think,"
wrote
Byron in Don Juan. And foremost in the thoughts of these
millions has
been the search for success in their personal, family and business
lives. Today,
right at this moment, in every part of the world, there are those who
wonder
what they can do to get further along toward some shining goal, and to
their
own self-improvement. Many will
snatch a secret from the depths of their hearts and souls that will
drive them
on to high achievement. But most of them will continue to wonder…
dream… and
wish. And then one day they will awaken with a shock to find themselves
standing in the same spot at which they dreamed as young men. But now
they have
lost their dreams and they wonder why. Everyone
Wants Something No matter what it is: money,
position, prestige… some special
achievement… the opportunity to be of service to his fellowmen… love, a happy marriage and happy home.
Everyone yearns for some kind of fulfillment — success in some form. To
be
happy… to be healthy… to be wealthy… and to experience the true riches
of life
— these are universal desires. And it's these inner urges which inspire
us to
action. You and I
are no exception. And you have the same opportunities as other men and
women in
high or low places, to succeed or to fail… in this land of unlimited
opportunity
where many have brought their good desires into reality — and where
others have
fallen into the wayside of life. Why does
one man succeed and another fail? There is an answer. And it will be
found in
this book. For there
are formulas, prescriptions, recipes — rules, principles, systems —
even
treasure maps, if you please — which, when followed in proper sequence,
bring
the good things in life to those who seek them. Often the rules for
success are
so simple and so obvious they aren't even seen. But when you
search for them,
you, too, can find them. And during
the search something wonderful happens: you acquire knowledge… you
gain
experience… you become inspired. And then you begin to recognize
the necessary
ingredients for success. In This
House Not long
ago I accepted an invitation to visit Kentuckiana Children's Center at
Louisville, Kentucky. I had heard that Dr. Lorraine Golden, its
directress, had
given up a large income from her private practice to use her talents,
experience and the help of a Higher Power to help crippled children
walk. As I
toured the clinic I noticed everything was spotlessly clean. I
stopped when I
saw a little girl seated in a chair, "What's your name'," I asked
gently. "Jenny,"
she replied. The girl's
mother was seated nearby so I asked her to tell me about Jenny. The
mother's eyes looked into mine as she said: "Jenny
is six years of age. For the first four years of her life she was a
cripple,
unable to walk. We didn't have money, so I brought her to the clinic.
Dr.
Golden told me that Jenny had a nerve blockage. Now Jenny can walk.'' The mother hesitated.
From her expression I felt she had something
more to say — something personal. So I waited. "Mr.
Stone... I want you to know that… " She hesitated again. And then she
said
it: "…outside my church this is the only house in which I feel the
presence
of God." When she
finished, her head was bowed as if to hide her emotions and, perhaps, a
tear.
Jenny, the little child who couldn't walk for the first four years of her life, walked over to her mother, put her
arms around her and kissed her. And as I
continued my tour through the clinic I realized that it was the driving
desire
of Dr. Golden which had made Kentuckiana a reality, a generous,
dedicated,
self-sacrificing desire that could not be held down. But to move one to
action,
desire must be joined to ambition and initiative. Desire Is the
Beginning of All Human
Achievement How does
one develop ambition when he isn't ambitious? How does he develop
initiative
when he doesn't have it? How do you motivate yourself or another
person to
action? These are questions I have often been asked by persons in all
walks of
life: parents, teachers, ministers — salesmen, sales managers,
executives — and
high school and college students. "First
develop the desire," I respond. But how do
you germinate a desire? How do you begin? These answers will become
self-evident as you read on. Remember: there is magic in
desire; also, magic lies in the skill
of the magician. And skill depends upon three necessary ingredients. In
fact,
continuous success in each human activity always depends upon these three important
ingredients. This I learned.
And this I proved as I first developed my sales system that never fails
which
later led me to an amazing discovery… the
success system that never fails. Prepare
for Future Abundance I have
seen the principles of success at work in the lives of hundreds of men
and
women in every field of endeavor. It was only through continuous study
and testing
that I found the reasons behind both success and failure... and
something more:
how to motivate those who had failed — later to succeed. In the
belief that which remains with you when you share with others the good
and the
beautiful will multiply and grow, I am sharing with you, in this book,
the
techniques for success as I have found them to be. And I know
from experience that if you will take a journey with me, chapter by
chapter,
through this book, on a treasure hunt — you, too, will be able to use the
success system that never fails to bring your worthwhile desires
into
reality. An old
Hindu legend states that when the gods were making the world, they
said:
"Where can we hide the most valuable of treasures so that they will not
be
lost? How can we hide them so that the lust and greed of men will not
steal or
destroy them? What can we do to be assured that these riches will be
carried on
from generation to generation for the benefit of all mankind?" So in their wisdom they
selected a hiding place that was so
obvious it wouldn't be seen. And there they placed the true riches of
life,
endowed with the magic power of perpetual self-replenishment. In this
hiding
place these treasures can be found by every living person in every
land who
follows the success system that never fails. And as you
read this book, read it as if I were your personal friend writing to
you, and
you alone. For this book is dedicated to you, and all who seek riches
of life. W. CLEMENT
STONE
