When man works for success. bat
Always talks failure. he will usually
get what he talks about rather than
what he works for; man can never get
opulence by rejecting opportunity.
The human kind cannot get along
very long on charity; men who Away
expect help are strong on the yelp-
it's their greatest weakness.
II you wait and wish for the thing
you need. you will never win; weak
lings will never walk when their desire
is 20 wish rather than to walk.
The man who stays out because he
lost out is neither a sticker nor n win
ner; If he won't dig out when he's Gov
cred up he is pretty much Of a sinner.
When YOU must be told what Is 20 be
done. when you must be shown how
honors are to be won. and when you
must be watched in your work so that
you will not shirk. then YOU are a slave
10 your sin OF Incidence.
Man never reaches success when he
travels on an "if'' ticket; the man who
modifies his purpose with an III pos

cae that while their wage increase
will amount TO S34,OOO,00O, the op-
Grating revenue of the companies
will be s54,O00,O0O greater this year

Der of roads paying dividends rose
