Develop Your Personality ! Have you ever taken the trouble to get to the bottom of the real reason why some people are so popular with everybody and get on so amazingly quickly, both socially and in business? Have you ever taken the trouble to realise fully what this power to control success really means to you and yours? You see people scaling the ladder while you remain almost stationary. You call it luck probably ; but have you ever realised that luck comes generally to those who have got out of the beaten track, and so come into luck's way?
