Show THE SUCCESSFUL MAN. "The Man Who Wins," is worthy the earnest consideration of the young men who, starting out in life, have a world of uncertainty before them. They may ask for a guide and a motive, resolved to profit by the experience of others. To those who are thus looking for an inspiration, we commend the following by Charles R. Barrett, from an exchange: THE MAN WHO WINS. The man who wins is an average man; Not built on any peculiar plan, Not blest with any peculiar luck; Just steady and earnest and full of pluck. When asked a question he does not "guess," He knows and answers 'no" or "yes"; When set a task that the rest can't do, He buckles down until he's put it through. Three things he's learned; that the man who tries. Finds' favor in his employer's eyes; That it pays to know more than one thing well; That it doesn 't pay all he knows to tell. So he works and waits, till one fine day . There's a better job with bigger pay, And the men who shirked whenever they could Are bossed by the man whose work made good. For the man who wins is the man who works, Who neither labor nor trouble shirks, Who uses his hands, his head, his eyes ; The man who wins is the man who tries. |
