Schedule Of Percentage O 1000

First of all get your signals in per
feet working order, so there won't
be Misunderstanding and confusion.
Don't let slumps discourage you. Re-
member, we all have our slumps-
our good day and our bad ones. No
body goes through the schedule Of life
with a percentage OF 1000. Just do
your best every day, and if you make
errors, let them go as part of the
game. for we all make errors. and the
easier the chance the more liable we
are to miss. If a costly error Oc-
ours, don't jump at the conclusion
that the game is lost, but grit your
teeth and make up for the error on
the harder chances that are bound
to come"
