do things work out as we are told they will within the \u201cowner\u2019s manual,\u201d the Holy Bible.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>The same is true as applies to mankind.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>God made all things in such a way so that they would all work together for the good of man&#8230;whenever man obediently performed in the manner and way that God told him to behave.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This information is all located within the Holy Bible<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">Now, let us bring this discussion back to the physical reality as occurs in people\u2019s lives every day.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>There is no mystery why so many people today are in such a mess.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Success in life is not a happenstance&#8230;.it is a special planned event.<\/b><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span><b>Success is a personal choice, unfortunately so is failure.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

font-size: 14pt;\">In addition, there needs to be lots of good old common sense that must be developed and regularly used by the person who is attempting to succeed.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>This thing called <b>common sense<\/b> seems to be the single most and biggest element that is missing in the lives of those trying to make it to the top in their chosen fields of endeavor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;\"><b>Laziness and unbelief have their roots in the heart and mind of the man or woman who lacks common sense.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/b> Lack of people skills can be traced back to how the person was raised from childhood.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Those folks who lack common sense most usually treat other people with whom they are dealing poorly and incorrectly.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>They just never seem to be able to establish meaningful personal relationships with other people.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>Consequently they are unable to establish lasting and committed work ethics for themselves and for those other people who are depending upon them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
