I Believe That Close Association With One

There Are Twelve Good Reasons For Failure. The First One Is The Avowed Intention Of Doing No More Than One Is Paid To Do, And The Person Who Makes This Avowal May See The Other Eleven By Stepping Before A Looking Glass.

Here Is An Old Oriental Proverb: *a Journey Of A Thousand Miles Begins With One Step.* It Is Difficult To Anticipate Just How A Situation Will Develop In Every Detail Until You Take A Step Forward And Try Out Your Present Equipment. Then, If Weaknesses Appear, You Will Have Clues As To How To Strengthen Your Resources. No Scheme Or Plan Is Perfect. Perfection Is A Process, Not An End.

If You Can Keep On Trying After Three Failures In A Given Undertaking You May Consider Yourself A 'suspect' As A Potential Leader In Your Chosen Occupation. If You Can Keep On Trying After A Dozen Failures The Seed Of A Genius Is Germinating Within Your Soul.

Before Success Comes In Any Man's Life, He's Sure To Meet With Much Temporary Defeat And, Perhaps Some Failures. When Defeat Overtakes A Man, The Easiest And The Most Logical Thing To Do Is To Quit. That's Exactly What The Majority Of Men Do.

Definiteness Of Purpose Is The Starting Point From Which One Must Begin.
