Certainly.

believe the sun shines but once on

Opportunity Is impartial.

you were asleep when Opportunity

Opportunity is persistent.

even slip her card under your door In
viting you to make the return call.
Every day men and women will tell
you they had ehance. perhaps great
chance. once on time, but they didn't
"see it." They let 1t slip.
That's it.
Opportunity was on hand. but they
were too busy or too ignorant or too
indolent to answer the door bell.
Listen! Do not put your fingers In
your ears. And. above all, do not
make up your mind that your day Is

Listen for Opportunity.
She is really kind hearted when you
come to know her. And she has
pounded ON your front door many a

her in. She would go In partnership
with you. And you turned over in
your bed and snored. 1t is wonder
she did not permanently strike you
off her visiting list. But she did not.
Listen for the raps.
