Fruitcakes & Napolean Hill On Success

“Please God, no fruit cakes this year.”

This is usually my prayer right before I walk into my mother-in-laws house every year for Christmas dinner.

Despite my pleas, the congealed hunk of flour and dried fruit is always sitting there on the table in all it’s odd, jellied glory. Apparently its a secret family recipe that’s been handed down for years.

(By the looks of it, I’m not so sure the same cake hasn’t been handed down for years. Yeesh.)

Sorry, I don’t have the recipe to give you. But, I’ll do you one even better. Here’s a recipe you’re guaranteed to like!

And it’s a heck of a lot more valuable than some crummy fruitcake.

(drum roll, please)

I introduce to you—Napoleon Hill’s recipe for success! It is as follows,

“Patience, persistence, and perspiration make an unbeatable combination for success.”

It’s simple yet highly effective. BE PATIENT. BE PERSISTENT. DO THE WORK.

It’s not sexy. But, it works.

As soon as I get my hands on the fruit cake recipe I’ll let you know. In the meantime, here’s today’s shameless pitch:
