Og Mandino’s 10 Simple Scrolls to be successful

Augustine “Og” Mandino was a man who lived a very interesting life. He is best known for his bestselling book “The Greatest Salesman in the World” one of the classics of self-help.

The book is not a manual to become a top salesperson, but rather an inspiring tool to motivate yourself to be successful.

Mandino’s 10 scroll principles are easy and life-changing:

Scroll 1 – Today I begin a new life.
Scroll 2 –  I will greet this day with love in my heart.
Scroll 3 –  I will persist until I succeed.
Scroll 4 –  I am nature’s greatest miracle.
Scroll 5 –  I will live this day as if it is my last.
Scroll 6 – Today I will be master of my emotions.
Scroll 7 –  I will laugh at the world. (Keep perspective)
Scroll 8 –  Today I will multiply my value a hundredfold.
Scroll 9 –  I will act now, I will act now, I will act now.
Scroll 10 –  I will pray for guidance.
