When successful people surround themselves with beauty,
it’s generally assumed that they are indulging themselves, buying
themselves trophies, or showing off. Although some of that may
be true, contact with beauty provides much more. It exposes
successful people to an excellence from which they can learn,
grow, and improve their lives. Beauty rewards people for all
their hard work.
When you’re exposed to beauty, you will want to bring ele-
ments of it into other parts of your life. That can help you rise to
higher levels. It can elevate your understanding of excellence and
the quality of the goods or services you provide. Instead of just
delivering good, serviceable items, this new understanding can
drive you to furnish only the very best.

Beauty is normally an asset, not a liability. A beautiful woman
on The Apprentice complained that her beauty was a liability,
but I felt that her attitude was the actual liability.
—Donald J. Trump

When you’re planning your projects, it’s not that much
more difficult or expensive to make them beautiful. If what you
provide is exceptional, you can increase your price. Beauty will
also enhance your reputation because it tells the world that
you have excellent standards and consistently produce the most
beautiful work. People will want to be associated with you
and your projects because it implies that they also have
great taste.
When you have beauty in your life, it can make everything
better and more worthwhile. Isn’t that the reason you work
so hard?
