EDUCATION GIVES US KNOWLEDGE, PERSONALITY GIVES US POWER

Personality is Your Greatest Asset Personality Beats Brains At school, Napoleon Bonaparte was at the bottom of his class. Yet he became master of Europe. Countries and monarchs fell before him. Men and women of all ages fell under his spell. Napoleon was super-charged with personality. It radiated from him in intense degree and was the secret of the terrific influence he had over those around him. And it is that particular power which shapes your life.
