Show A NEGATIVE MAN IS NAUGHT. Confidence in One's Self Absolutely Essential Es-sential to Success. A vacillating, undecided, negative man can never amount to anything, no matter what his environment or advantages ad-vantages may be. It would be impossible. impos-sible. He constantly subordinates his opinions and even his plans to what others say and think. There is no certainty as to his action,' because he is always subject to outside influences. He never relies upon himself or the inward authority that speaks to him. He is the echo of the last man who pleaded his case before him. He is re-magnetized re-magnetized every time he comes in contact with a new personality. Blown hither and thither by advice and opinions opin-ions as opposite as the poles, like a leaf whirled on the autumn wind, no one, not even himself, knows where he will alight. The man who lives to any purpose or accomplishes anything of good in the world has an abiding faith in himself, him-self, in his forcefulness and originality, in his efficiency in the management of his own affairs, and in his power to accomplish whatever 13 puts himself to do. O. S. Marden, in Success. |
