Tho man who comes out holdlv ns scrtlng that his knowledge Is surer-tor surer-tor to that of someono o'so will never bo tnken nt his word. Let the other fellow tell about your superiority. It I It Is worth telling, it will soon ?o tho , rounds. Loyalty Is threo-fourths of tho battle. bat-tle. Ho faithful to wl, for interests you. It Is ono of tho best traits in man, and, ns ho grows oldor, develop? devel-op? into ono ot his greatest assets Sometimes a mau.wlll feet himself ! becoming Indifferent to his" omployor and to his work. That is Jiui tho time for him to find nnothor employ-o-, because ho is no good where he b, nnd ho is wasting his own nnd IiIp cmn'oyer's t'mo Thcro Is no use being nnyt'jlnt bo natural. A bluffer Is rarely aece'pte-l nt his faco valuo. No sane man should try to pretend be Is something he Is not. There Is nothing In being too Independent. Inde-pendent.

One ot the greatest guides In going go-ing through business life, and one that will point you right always, la self control. It is pretty hard work to swallow your prldo at times, but most times everything Is nil right-In right-In fact, better after you havo swallowed swal-lowed It. Watching tho clqck will not get a man anywhere. Hard work and the average amount of common sense will shovo you along quicker than anything any-thing else. Doing things in a l'mpy, llstle, way is not really doing them. Things, aro only done well when there la plenty of. Heart behind the effort. In every game ot sport there la a penalty prescribed for every klad ot foul. Every man who has been In business many years will tell you It pays to play fair In all dealings. Play a little every day, If it's only a good laugh or enjoying a good story at luncheon with somo ot your friends. It holds the capacity for play In good condition and keeps a man In better shape for work. William J.' Barker. |
