Show ! Mind Your Own Business. - Keep your mind on your share of the work; donot try to manage for the whole firm. I remember a man who used to amuse me very much. He never earned moro than $15 a week until he had passed 50 years of age, and during his married life his wife had earned more than he had. Yet he would grow intensely excited ex-cited because a large and exceedingly prosperous corporation would not adopt his plans, though his connection with it was paving his fare as passenger on its cars The firm employing him would, if managed by him, grow wealthy m a year, he insisted. Still the firm dispensed with his valuable services and were able to conduct business. That man had been so busy all his business life planning affairs with which he had no connection that he really had no time to think of his personal work. He was not lajry. but he did not know enough to mind his own business. Christian Union. |
