PJ JU parted in mldocean. Suppose he had listened to his relatives, who said he was wasting his fortune and would die In poverty Suppose Fulton had given up under ridicule when a book was written to prove that a ship could not carry coal enough to force Its way across thc ocean. He lived to see that very book brought across the sea in a steamship. What If Prof. Bell had lost faith In himself when he had expended his last dolftir in experimenting on the principle of the telephone, and when the world called him a crank! When our Nation was threatened with civil war, the apparently modest and unassuming Lincoln told some politicians poli-ticians that If they would nominate him for President he could be elected, and that lie could run the Government. Think of this self-confidence of a man born In a log: cabin, with almost no advantages ad-vantages of education or culture Think of the sublime seif-confideuce of Grant, who two years before had been an obscure ob-scure merchant, almost unknown outside out-side of his own little community, when he told Lincoln that he could end the Civil war. He did end it, In spite of aa severe public condemnation as a man ever received. Where would the United States be today had Lincoln and Grant lost confidence in themselves when denounced de-nounced by the press? Pnitk Imparts Courage. I We cannot read the sealed orders which the Creator has placed in thc hands of those destined to do great things, but the fact that one has an unconquerable faith in himself is pretty good evidence of his ability to do what he believes he can. The Creator does not mock us with such convictions of possibilities possi-bilities 'without granting the ability to do the deed. He has not mocked tho birds with an instinct to seek the south in the winter without a south to match lt. The reflex action of affirmation Is wonderful". It la the con'stant affirmation affirma-tion of ability to succeed, and of our determination to do so, that carries us past dllllculties, defies obstacles, laughs at misfortunes and strengthens tho power to achieve. It re-enforces and buttresses the natural faculties and powers, and holds them to their tasks. Constant affirmation Increases courage cour-age as well as confidence, and courage Is the backbone of confidence. Furthermore, Fur-thermore, when a person gets in a tight place and says: "I must," "I can," "I will," he not only re-enforces his courage cour-age and strengthens his confidence, but weakens the opposite qualities. What- -ever strengthens a positive will weaken the corresponding "negative. Thc dominant Qualities are all positive, posi-tive, assertive, aggressive, and they require re-quire a corresponding attitude of mind for their exercise and application. If a man have not these dominant qualities quali-ties he can never be a leader, or Independent, Inde-pendent, he must be a trailer, an Imitator, Imi-tator, until he changes his thought from the negative to the positive, from the doubtful to the certain, from tho shrinking and retiring to the asserting and advancing. You can contribute to health and happiness by constantly affirming them as easily ns you can establish a reputation repu-tation for honesty by always practicing lt. The same 13 true in regard to your success. It is a vlgorouua confidence In oneself, a robust self-reliance, that does things, and until you can affirm your ability to do a thing without the shadow of an interrogation point In your mind, you never can do It. There should be no doubt In j-our affirmation, and you should drive away fear and uncertainty from your mind as you W II II llt3M would thieves from your house, for you never can accomplish anything in their presence. They will shake your confidence, confi-dence, they will take thc Bprlng out of your ambition, and destroy the vigor of your energy and the power of your Initiative. Ini-tiative. Determine at the very outset that whatever you undertake must and shall succeed. Do not allow yourself under any circumstances to harbor the possibility of failure or the thought that you may go down. To affirm constantly con-stantly your ability to succeed strengthens strength-ens your success faculties wonderfully, : 1 and weakens the doubt.
