Show Some Altogether New Ideas About Success Rules of success were "debunked" by Champe S. Andrews of New York In an address before 250 members of the Baltimore Association of Credit Men the other night. He spoke -on "The Difference Between the $5,(100 ana tne 5oO,000-a-Year-Man." "The first rule given In most anthologies anthol-ogies of success Is the command to work," Mr. Andrews said. "I deny that work will make you a financial success. The man who labors late at night with papers piled In front of him Is not advancing on the road to success any more than the laborer digging a ditch. Both work harder than any man In this room and get less pay. " 'Be honest.' This Is another sto: gan of the success magazine. Honesty Is the commonest thlim in the world. The man who draws SoO a month as caretaker Is just as apt to be honest as the .S--)0.000-a-year man. "'You must be ambitious,' say the professional advisers. One of the most consistently ambitious men I ever met was a barber I knew as a boy. He shaved me again the other day and he still Is ambitious. "Loyalty Is extolled by all paid advisers ad-visers of youth.. But loyalty Is n Jewel worn by every honorable man and doesn't differentiate the financially financial-ly successful from the unsuccessful. "'Specialize' is the favorite song tinkled by the troubadours of success. The specialist enn be bought In any market. He Is the tool of the general gen-eral all-round business man who prof-Its prof-Its by his services In all professions. "The hardest thing Is to get the all-round all-round man. The $5,UOO-a-year man has been defined as the man who can do one thing well ; the $10,000 man as one who can do two things well; the $20,000 man three things ; and the $50,000 man as one who can do many things and knows how to make other men carry out his plans. "Be broad. The world iu general, and captains of Industry In particular, particu-lar, need men who understand general conditions." Baltimore Sun. |
