365 Exciting Ways to Live: Excitement # 67: How do you keep your things?

   How do you keep your things?
I am a big believer that orderliness begets wealth
Suze Orman

Take a look at your computer monitor. Are there scratches or stains? Observe your mobile phone panel. Is it neat? Take a close look at your wrist watch. Do you notice any scratches? Now observe your work table. Is it neat? Is your table cluttered? Carefully observe your car or scooter. Do you maintain them well? When did you clean it yourself last? Take a look at your shoes. When did you last polish it?
The way you keep your things tells volumes about your personality. I have been observing a lot of people from this point of view. I have known some people, who are very meticulous about the things they keep. They take personal care to ensure that the things they use are very clean and neat.

This may appear to be a mere external issue. But beneath this external behaviour is what is called ‘attitude’. If you have the attitude to pay close attention to this factor, you will have the same attitude to your work also. This week, introspect on this aspect of your personality and set a target to improve the same.   You will enjoy the pleasant feeling of an organised person.
