A Shady Business Never Yields A Sunny

Use Life To Provide Something That Outlasts It.

The Fellow Who Isn't Fired With Enthusiasm Is Apt To Be Fired.

It Is A Great Mistake For Presidents And Other Leading Executives Of Organizations Having Branches Throughout The Country To Chain Themselves To Their Desks At Headquarters And Send Out Rigid Instructions To Those In Charge Of Distant Branches And Offices. Because A Man Sits In A Palatial Office In New York Or Chicago Or Philadelphia Or Detroit And Draws A Big Salary, It Does Not Necessarily Follow That He Knows Better Than The Man On The Spot What Ought To Be Done.... Paul, Caesar, Napoleon Did Not Merely Sit At Home And Issue Long-range Instructions.

The Young Man Who Addresses Himself In Stern Earnest To Organizing His Life-his Habits, His Associations, His Reading, His Study, His Work-stands Far More Chance Of Rising To A Position Affording Him Opportunity To Exercise His Organizing Abilities Than The Fellow Who Dawdles Along Without Chart Or Compass, Without Plan Or Purpose, Without Self-improvement And Self-discipline.

Do Too Many Executives Still Indulge In The Short-sighted Habit Of Issuing Orders Without Taking The Slightest Pains To Explain To Those Responsible For Carrying Them Out The Whyfor And Wherefor Of The Orders? Where Employees Come In Daily And Hourly Contact With The Public, Surely It Is Important That Care Be Taken To Fit Them To Reply Intelligently To Courteous Questions. ""because Them Are Orders"" Isn't A Satisfying Reply-even Less Satisfactory To The Management Than To The Public.
