Tips: The Most Simplest Secret for Big Success

DEar Friends,

Greetings from Shabbar Suterwala.

Here is a simple secret of Big Success, Yes, the secret is simple because by using this secret you can achieve Big Success.

During a meeting of top salespeople from around the country,
the 'big cheese' himself, a man who'd consistently had the highest
sales figures for the last 20 years, and who earned more money
than even the owner of his company, got up to speak.

"I am now going to reveal the secret of my success," he said.

He wrote it down on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope.

Further he said...
"But success must be earned. So I'm going to sell the envelope to
the highest bidder. You have my word that it contains what I said
- the Secret of my Success, not only as a salesman, but also
in life."

The bidding started slowly... $5, then $10, then $50, $100,
$130, $150, $200. Finally one of his colleagues bought the envelope
for $1000. The happy buyer took the envelope and kept it to
himself until he got home that night Excited and enthusiastic,
Only then did he open it to learn THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

What do you think was written on the piece of paper?

Think about it. Make a mental note of whatever comes to mind
before reading the answer.

Because I am going to tell you what it was later in this e-mail.

And in my opinion what was written on
that piece of paper is worth much more than $1000.

The winner of the auction tore open the envelope, unfolded
the piece of paper and read the following hand-written words:


===============

THE SUCCESS' SECRET IS... TO ASK.

================

Surprised, yes it is as simple as "To ASK", ony when you ask do you get.

Look at the simple fact that the mother also feeds the baby only when the baby cries (ask), so about big babies like us, who all the time need and require help & resources, raise or payment, request or a favour...?

THE SUCCESS' SECRET IS... TO ASK.

God also helps those who help themselves. "Ask and thou shall get, for the gates of heaven are open for those who ASK"

ASK can also be:

A = Attitude
S = Skills
K = Knowledge

"Action does not always lead to happiness, but there is no
happiness without action." Benjamin Disraeli

"Better do things yourself than hope they will be done." Scottish Proverb

Wish you all the Best for asking...
