Million Dollar Habits
by Robert J. Ringer


Intro: 

A. The first major premise of the book is that success isn't dependent upon one's being blessed with

superior intelligence or special skills, nor does formal education, hard work or luck play a mjor role

in an individual's climb toward success.

Breaks float in and out of people's livesevery day without being exploited or even noticed.

B. The second major premise is that the difference between success and failure is not nearly as great

as most people belive.

C. The third major premise:  Sucess is a matter of understanding and religiously practicing specific,

simple habits that always lead to success.


This is exciting because:
i) It works and
ii) habits can be learnedby anyone who is willing to put forth the necessary effort.

Remamber life is nothing more than the sum total of many successful days.  That's why practicing

simple success habits day in and day out is the most certain way to win over the longterm.

You can't coast.  You've got to do it everyday.  Practice these habits that lead to positive results-

results that are in your longterm best interests.  These habits will take effort to acq    uire and

practice so don't expect a free ride.

discusses in his book to be of maximum benefit to you, the reader, you must develop the Reality Habit.
Positive results are rare, if you harbour a faulty perception of reality.  Reality is nothing more

than truth but people often try to make true what they love, what they want to see versus what is...

Most people try to crete a world in their minds based on what they would like the world to be like

rather than what it is truly like... Fantasy.  There is one reality...
