mmnsf i 11Q1l i fam ivigm Aim high! Make a clear, distinct mental picture of what it is you want. Hold it steadfast in thought. Visualize it, see it, believe it! Way and means of satisfying that desire will follow. For supply comes on the heels of demand. Plenty of folks have a good aim in life, but a lot of them never pull the trigger. There is some good in everyone, though it may take a microscope to find it. The only one that has a right to look down on others is the one in the airship. Even tombstones speak well of those beneath them. When doing business consider the other fellow your equal and never make him feel inferior to you. Don't speak be- cause you have to say somethingg speak only when you have something to say. All education is getting ready to be of use to the world in some way. We do not always think of it as that, many never think of it except as getting ready to help themselves. But every honest trade and profession exists for the purpose of minister- ing to some general need. Clubs and stones are thrown only at fruit-bearing trees. But it's better to have born fruit and gotten hit than never to have done anything worthwhile. Experience is something you get while looking for something else. How to succeed: Start at the bottom and wake up. The way to get ahead is to start now. You can't push yourself ahead by patting yourself on the back. Syrus said, It matters not how long you live, but how well. Acquire a reputation for dependability tirst-then add the decorations afterward. The fellow who is easily rattled must have a screw loose somewhere. lf you are one ot these, it might be a good thing to see that the screws are tightened. In life as in a mirror, you never get more out than you put in. lohn Ruskin said, When we build, let us think that we are building forever. Let it not be for present delight, nor for present alone-Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for. And let us think, as we lay stone upon stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, See! This our Fathers did for us.' George Harvey is reported to have asked lohn D. Rockefeller if he could say, in a few words to what he attributed the success of the Standard Oil. He was silent for a few minutes, and then said, We never deceived ourselves. Have a good sense of humor and learn to take whatever comes your way good- naturedly. He who laughs-lasts. So keep your chin up, hitch your wagon to a star, and always try to do some- thing bigger and better than you have ever done before. -Edna Leighty. ww!
