I knew you were not a drifter! I could just tell!

In my previous post I wrote from Napoleon Hill's interview with the devil the characteristics of a drifter. The characteristics that hold us back from being successful in life.  Exactly where the devil loves us to be.

Here are the characteristics of a non-drifter.

Written by Napoleon Hill Author Outwitting The Devil:

"The first sign of a non drifter is this:

He is always engaged in doing something definite, through some well organized plan which is definite. He has a major goal in life toward which he is always working, and many minor goals, all of which lead toward his central scheme.

The tone of his voice, the quickness of his step, the sparkle in his eyes, the quickness of his decisions clearly mark him as a person who know exactly what he want and is determined to get it, not matter how long it may tai or what price he must pay.

If you ask him questions, he gives you direct answers and never falls back on evasions or resorts to subterfuge.

He extends many favors to others, but accepts favors sparingly or not at all.

He will be found up front whether he is playing a game or fighting a war.

If he does not know the answers he will say so frankly.

He has a good memory; never offers an alibi for his shortcomings.

He never blames others for his mistakes no matter if they deserve the blame.

He use to be known as a go-getter, but in modern times he is called a go-giver. You will find him running the biggest business in town, living on the best street, driving the best automobile, and making his presence felt wherever he happens to be.

He is an inspiration to all who come into contact with his mind.

The major distinguishing feature of the non-drifter is this: He has a mind of his own and uses it for all purposes."
