Yet thero may bo some regrets re-grets and in tho now year that has Just dawned wo should each mnke stepping stones to higher and better things out of tho failures we have made In the past. This Is tho time for tho yearly stock taking In business, nnd It should bo so In our Individual lives, nnd to this end wo wIbIi to commend for your consideration tho words of one William Will-iam Johnston, which are as follows: It Is not what pcoplo say about you It's what you nro that counts, Tho ono person In nil this world whom you should aim to satisfy is yourself. You nlono know yoursolf. Other people peo-ple know your outward appearance, your actions, your deeds. You, nnd you alone, know your motives, your ambitions, your thoughts. Aro you satisfied with yourself? It Is your own fault if you aro not. Arc you satisfied that you nre doing tho best you can In your work, that you aro making tho most of your time? Aro you confident that your conduct toward your family, your friends, your neighbors, your employer, cannot be Improved? " Look yourself straight In the face this morning, in your mind's looking-glass. looking-glass. Ask yourself whether it Is what pcoplo say ubout you or what you nro that hurts. Aualyzo your own conduct In nil matters. Put yourself In the other fellow's placo nnd try to sou your notions through Ills eyes. Imuglno that you are your employer Instead of yourself. Answer honestly whether If ho knew ns much nbout yourself ho would i is-chnrgo is-chnrgo you or would rnlse your wni cs. If jou do this conscientiously th to nre ninny things you will do dlfi t-viitly. t-viitly. V Remember this, tool Other pcopVfl opinion of you Is based on your ofvn opinion of yourself. Aro you selfJc-tipcctlng? selfJc-tipcctlng? Other pcoplo will resject you Are you truthful? Tho wGild will believe you. Are you honlst? "Everyone will trust you. Hut weigh yourself frequently. Weigh yourself carefully. Ho certain that your own opinion of yourself Is Justified, lie satisfied with yourself. As you Btnnd on tho threshold of 1914, wondering what It will bring, keep In mind that nil that comes, If you do your best, will bring development develop-ment you cannot hope to go through Ilfo without tasting tho bitter, It la not tho care-free people who know the renl Joy of living. Notice .arefully and you will sco that it Is not so much what comes to people us tho wny In which they take It that brings final Joy or sorrow to them, it takes friction fric-tion to polish the diamond, but no amount of polishing will mnke some mlncrnls shine. It Is .Just bo with munklnd; with some, trials bring out the finest of traits, whllo with others the same trials tend to make cnllous and hard. One carries his cross In such n wny that It Is nu Inspiration to others, while another allows his burden bur-den to bend his bnck nnd wnrp his bouI. One looks up nnd smiles even through his tears; another looks down mid despairs. One looks always for bright und better days, while the other looks for inoro and more of trouble, and each finds Just what he la looking for. If our wish can mnke It 1914 will bo the best nnd happiest of the lives of nil of our patrons nnd friends, but It Is up to each to mnke tho year whnt we would like It to be. |
