Show SOME OF HENRY FORD'S RULES for SUCCESS Everything begins with thought. If a man knows where he is going nothing will stop him. Every man gets what he deserves; if his thinking think-ing is wrong he will lose out. Most people make the initial mistake in business of thinking about the dollar. If a man is trying in his business to serve the good of others the money will come, it is bound to come, he can not fail. One of the first things every man must realize if he is going to succeed is how little he can accomplish accomp-lish alone ; the second is that everyone has some good in him and can do something well. I believe in big business; the bigger the organization organi-zation the bigger the opportunity for more men to contribute the special good in themselves. Every man can do some one thing wTell, but no man can do a lot of things well at the same time. In business there is no escaping the law of compensation com-pensation ; if you do a man a mean trick, you pay ; if you do yourself a mean trick, you pay. If a man worries it is because he has done something some-thing that's not on the square or else because he hasn't thought deeply enough to clearly understand his problem. Most people eat too much, and in consequence they sleep too much and don't think enough. My advice to every business man is: work and read and think and then work some more and then some, but don't ever stop thinking. Don't ever be afraid of criticism; criticism is . the greatest educator in the world if we will only let it be. |
