Dhamma for Lifestyle (22)

Conditions For Success  
For achieving material success and fame, four conditions are necessary. When these four conditions are present, success in terms of prosperity, fame and following is attained within a short period of time.
The four conditions are:
1. living in a place which is favourable for the attainment of prosperity and merit;
2. association with wise and noble persons;
3. living an honest life and striving for self improvement;
4. having accumulated good deeds done previously.
Of these, the last condition is vital because being endowed with it will contribute towards fulfilment of the remaining conditions.
