Patience Wins
BY EBERT HUBBARD

It Is well to realize that 1t Is the
patient man who wins. To do your
work and not to be anxious about re-
suits is the best way to go after and
secure the big return.
This does not mean that you are
to see yourself as a slave. II your
present position does not give you an
opportunity to grow. and you know OF
a better place-why, SO to the better
place. by all means.
The point I make Is simply this:
II you care to remain In place. you
can never better your position by
striking for higher wages or demand
ing favors Of any kind.
The employe who drives a sharp bar-
gain and is fearful that he will not
get all he earns never will.
There are man who are set on q
5hair-trigg eralways ready to make
demands when there is a rush of Work,
and who threaten to walk out IL their
demands are not acceded to. The de- de
mands may be acceded to. but this
kind Of help is always marked on the
time book for dismissal when work gets
scarce and business slow and dull:
