TO A YOUNG MAN
A SSert Yourself

assert yourself.
Self assertion is the powder in the
gun behind the charge. 1t is the dy
manic that urges men into the places
where they belong.
1t is we'll to be modest and courteous
and al! that. but
Remember that your TWO shoes lave
just as much right on the pavemen, as
the two shoes of the millionaire
1t is neither necessary nor safe to
push others off the thoroughfare, but

hand side of the road
You may be courteous and tactful.
but you must get on.
Ordinarily the crowd is good humOr
ed and gets out of the way Of the fell
low who keeps going. Says the crowd:
Here is a man who is bound some
where, and he is in hurry. Let's get
out Of his way
But
Sometimes the crowd may be OBJ
streperous. and. though you make a
flying wedge of yourself. it refuses to
bulge. Wait a bit Soon the crowd
will tire or forget, and you may get by
without a murmur.
And
Should you perforce happen to be
knocked down by the crowd in its
rush. get up! Get up and brush the in
suit from your garments and do not
complain of the rudeness of the popu
lace. Like you. brave fellows. others
are looking for bread and butter and Il
rooftree Smile-and get up! And
above all
Once you begin to be cowed by the
mob, once you begin to shrink from its
rough embraces, you are gOner.
If some one. assertive, successful
pushing. elbows you aside in spite of
your best efforts to hold your own.

Brush that insult off your vest
Never let it get down as deep as your
undergarments. Do not whine or cuSs

Pull down your vest and go on!
Do not misunderstood. You are not
spelling for a fight If so, you shall
readily be accommodated. There is no
chip on your shoulder. But, conscious
Of your ability to make good in the
scramble. willing to do your share of
the worlds work. you demand place
on which to stand until you get a fair
chance.
Your Job will not hunt you You
must be the hunter.
Therefore assert yourself. Face the
music. Stand stiff legged and let no
mortal frighteD you.
And keep pushing!
