The Person Who Renders Loyal Service In

Henry Ward Beecher, So The Story Goes, Was Once Asked By A Young Preacher How He Could Keep His Congregation Wide Awake And Attentive During His Sermons. Beecher Replied That He Always Had A Man Watch For Sleepers, With Instructions, As Soon As He Saw Anyone Start Nodding Or Dozing, To Hasten To The Pulpit And Wake Up The Preacher. Aren't You And I Usually Less Sensible? Would We Not Be Inclined To Have The Watcher Wake Up Not Ourselves But The Fellows Caught Sleeping? In Other Words, Aren't We Disposed Always To Blame Others?

Genius Is Often A Short Way Of Spelling Hard Work. Poverty, Obscurity, Struggle And Ambition Formed The Foundation For Many Careers Of Transcendent Achievement. Few Marks Are Made In The World's History By Eight-hour-day Men.... Sir Joshua Reynolds Had But One Maxim For Success: Work, Work, Work. Is Not Rigid And Continuous Training Necessary For The Making Of Strong Athletes? Hard Work Is Not Fatal To Real Success. Vouloir C'est Pouvoir.

Optimism Is A Tonic. Pessimism Is Poison. Admittedly, Every Businessman Must Be Realistic. He Must Gather Facts, Analyze Them Candidly And Strive To Draw Logical Conclusions, Whether Favorable Or Unfavorable. He Must Not Engage In Self-delusion. He Must Not View Everything Through Rose-colored Glasses. Granting This, The Incontestable Truth Is That America Has Been Built Up By Optimists, Not By Pessimists, But By Men Possessing Courage, Confidence In The Nation's Destiny, By Men Willing To Adventure To Shoulder Risks Terrifying To The Timid.

If You Don't Drive Your Business, You Will Be Driven Out Of Business.

He Who Has Faith Has... An Inward Reservoir Of Courage, Hope, Confidence, Calmness, And Assuring Trust That All Will Come Out Well - Even Though To The World It May Appear To Come Out Most Badly.
