You must not go into debt.
Avoid DEBT as you would The devil
Make it fundamental ru'e: No deb
leash or nothing.
MAKE few promises Religiously
observe, The smallest A man whu
means to keep his promises can't
afford to make many.
"Be scrupulousIy careful in all
statements. Accuracy and perfect
frankness-no guess. work. Either
nothing or accurate truth.
make yourself necessary to those
who employ you by industry. fidelity
and scrupulous integrity. Selfishness
is fatal.
"Hold yourself resp ,nsible for a
higher standard than anyb1dy else

yourself than any body expects of you.
Keep your own standard high. Never
excuse yourself to yourself. Never
pity yourself, Be a hard master to

Concentrate your force on your
Own business; do not turn off, Be

come rich if he stops all leaks and is
not in hurry. Do not make haste;
