NO EXCUSE ALLOWED. Wo ropy from the '-Christian Uplook" a few paraprajdis that every boy will be willing- to read: A successful business man told me there were two thinps which he learned when he was eighteen, which were ever afterwards of great use to him namely, "never to lose anything and never to forget for-get anything.' An old lawyer sent him with an important paper, with certain instructions what to do with it. "lint." inquired the young man. "suppose that I should happen to he it. what shall I do then?" "You must not lose it." said the lawyer, frowning:. frown-ing:. I don't mean to." said the young man. "Rnt a!j.p,.,sc 1 .ould happen to?" "But I f-ay you must not happen to. I shall rr.feke no provision for such an occurrence; you Tnus- riot nse it." This put a ner train of thoughts into the young mati s mind, and he found that if he was determined deter-mined io do a thing he could do it. He made such " pro-riskm against c'tctt contingency that he never la-- anything. Ie found this equally true about f'-rgeiung. If a certain matter of importance Avas to Ire remembered, he pinned it down on his mind, fastened it there and made it stay, lie used to ny. "When a man tells me that he forgot to do 'mclhing. I le him he might as well have said, '1 do not care enonsrh about yonr business to takf thf trouble to lhmk of it ag8jIl.,' I once, "had an ;nteHipent young man in my employment who doi-and it rrfficienT excuse for nfarlf-ctoiur an im-'ponanr im-'ponanr task to say. 4I iorgot it." I told him thai won hi not answer: if he was sufficiently interestel. he would he careful to remember. It was because he did not care enough that he forgot. I drilled j him wilh this truth. lie worked for me three years, and during ihe last of the three he was utterly ut-terly changed in this respect. He did not forget a lhing. His forgetting, he found, was a lazy and arcless habit of the mind, which he cured." |
