Summary
Listen to episode 625 of the Inspirational Living Podcast: Making the Doors of Opportunity Fly Open. Edited and adapted from Heading for Victory; or, Getting the Most Out of Life; by Orison Swett Marden.
Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: There is an indefinable power in fine manners which unconsciously, irresistibly, and instantaneously wins admiration. Give a person courtesy and accomplishments, and you give them the mastery of palaces and fortunes wherever they go. The well-mannered can do without riches. All doors fly open to them, and they enter everywhere without money and without price. People instinctively know whether you are a genuine lady or gentleman, and respond accordingly.
