Show "Speed" Means to Acquire Success. When we use the slang "too slow" as applied to non-success we are speaking correctly, according to etymology, ety-mology, for "slow" conveys an idea opposite to that of "speed," and for mote than 10.000 years tjie root from which "speed" has grown has preserved pre-served its influence in a dozen languages lan-guages and has continually signified the idea of quickness in grasping, in druving to, in extending, in making room for action, in bringing prosperity pros-perity and success by reaching out. Our Aryan ancestors used the little word "spa," and from it has grown, among scores of other words, our word "speed," which, through the centuries, cen-turies, has not been restricted to its meaning of velocity. It conveyed the thought of velocity that reached out for success. It meant having room for action, to increase in the direction of prosperity. Without "spa" there was no "success." |
