People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents. Surplus wealth is a sacred trust which its possessor is bound to administer in his lifetime for the good of the community. The way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket. There is little success where there is little laughter. Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! I have never known a concern to make a decided success that did not do good, honest work, and even in these days of fiercest competition, when everything would seem to be a matter of price, there lies still at the root of great business success the very much more important factor of quality. The effect of attention to quality, upon every man in the service, from the president of the concern down to the humblest laborer, cannot be overestimated. |
