Be good tempered. 1t pays, ia every
way; it pays, if you are an employer;
it pays, II you are an employee; it is
profitable in every walk of life. And |
this is taking the most selfish view. |
You owe it to others to be good ma
tured; you owe it to your own manhood,
to your own self respect. In making
others comfortable, you are making
things agreeable for yourself; you are
gaining and keeping good will, which
may be of value and help to you here
after; you are accommodating a capital |
of popularity and good report, which
may be used to advantage, perhaps, in
a critical time. Good temper is a
great factor In success.
