We start out in life with O definite
amount Of possible energy. We can
spend II rs we please but, even with
the best intentions, many people use
up large part OF their capital in wor-
~, anxiety, or by fretting over nom
essentials,-trifes which have moth
ing whatever to do with their success.
If we could only learn TO control
our thought-force, and to expend 1t
where it Is needed, instead Of allow
ing II to ooze out or leak away In drlb-
lets on uuimportant matters, what
marvels we would accomplish
In an average lifetime, just think
how much real energy, which might
be turned into success-capital, has
been wasted In useless expenditures
and leakages! Some people spend
half the power they generate in vain
worry, anxiety, pickering, splitting
hairs over irrelevancies.
Much Of our possible success energy
Is wasted through fear, which, in all
its phases, Is the greatest enemy of
the human ce,-fear OF failure, fear
that we shall come to want, fear of
imaginary happenings which have no
foundation in fact, dread of criticism
forebOdings about the future, fear OF
misfortunes that may come to our
friends, ourselves, or our business.
How many promising lives have been
wrecked BY this gloomy phantom
fear!

II yon advance rapidly 10 your
position, or get on faster in the world,
don't acquire . habit Of waiting to be
told what to do. Anticipate the
wants of your employer. Use your
common sense and ingenuity In try
ing to solve the problems that come
up from day to day. Nobody ever ad-
vances who constantly waits for direc-
tions. 1t Is the man who decides
promptly, and with precision. with.
out being told what Is to be done, and
then does 1t, who gets on in the world.
A habit Of doing nothing without
orders or directions Is paralyzing to
ones's faculties and death TO indi-
viduality and originality. Don't labor
under the delusion that to initiate the
actions and methods Of tbose above
you Is all that your position requires.
Original work commands attention,
and will be of great service In help
ing you TO advance In your position,
or In directing work Of your own.
The valuable employee 10 the one who
anticipates the needs Of his position,
and attend to them before he Is told.
Keep your eyes wide open for the
things which need to be done, and do
them before you are asked to. You
may think that actions which are not
prompted by the presence Of your EN-.
ployer will never be heard Of by him.
Put aside this delusion. There are
innumerable ways in which an en-
ployee's habits OF work are brought
to the attention Of your employer {:
and. In the near future. the right per-
son will be sure Of reward.
