JAPANESE WANTS FEW
LITTLE NUGGETS OF WISDOM
Compiled for the Benefit of the Work.
er Who Has Aspirations and
Willingness.

Obstacles, properly handled, become
opportunities.
To make pleasure of your busi-
ness is to succeed in it.
Purpose plus enthusiasm usually fig
ures out success achieved.
The hard worker is the only fell
low who really appreciates a vacation.
In the world of business, as in golf.
success depends more on accuracy
than mere power.
The man who saves time stands a
lot better chance of becoming rich
than he who saves only money.
Some young men (and old ones,
tooD to earn money, will work like
horses-and spend it like asses.
No man can do better than fail who
regards his fellows as merely so many
opportunities-to be taken advantage
of.
In the long run it's better business
to be deceived by some one, now and
then, rather than to distrust every
body all the time.
The average employe measures him
self by the standard Of his aspirations;
his employer uses the foot-rule of per-

Remember, it's quite possible to

FROM MAN THAT WON
SOME SHORT AND SIMPLE RULES
FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE.
Ambition and Hard Work Are Potent
Forces--Preservation of Health
Of First Importance.

Select job and stick to It. Shift
ers are nearly always failures.
Ambition and hard work pay divi-
dends.
Successful young men make sue
cessful old men, so be successful
while you are young.
The employe who takes a personal
interest In his work is entitled to
have his employer take a personal in.
terest in him.
Employers play an important part
in determining the success or failure
of the men who work for them An
occasional word of appreciation will
prevent many from becoming shifters.
Making constant study of his
work and trying to do things better
every day, are two fundamental prin-
ciples of the successful man.
Good health is almost as important
as courtesy and honesty. 1t is hard to
be courteous If one isn't in good
physical condition.
Success cannot be attained by fol-
lowing any one rule. My recipe, in a
nutshell, calls for the right sort of a
man, working for the right sort of an
employer" Together, they will make
each other successful-E. J. Lehman.

The food, save in the very highest

rice and green tea, with sake as a

classes.

wages and the cost of living is the one
