Never Admit Defeat.

Never admit defeat or poverty,
though you seem to be down and have
not cent. Stoutly assert your divine
right to be a man, to hold your head
up and look the world in the face. Step
bravely to the front whatever opposes,
and the world will make way for you.
No one will insist upon your rights
while you yourself doubt that you pos
sess the qualities requisite for success.
Never allow yourself to be a traitor
to your own cause by undermining
your self confidence.
There never was a time before when
persistent, original force was so much
in demand as now. The namby pam
by, nerveless man has little show in
the hustling world of today. In the
twentieth century a man must either
push or be pushed.
Every one admires the man who can
assert his rights and has the power
to demand and take them if denied to
him. No one can respect the man who
sinks in the rear and apologies for
being in the world Negative virtues
are of no use in winning ones way.
1t is the positive man, the man with
original energy and push, that FORCES
to the front.-SucceSS.
