What is nerve? Nerve is that which
enables a person 10 hang on and
die In the last ditch or win out. Il
Is undertaking more than ordinary
things; II is taking big risks on one q
own ability; II is holding the fort
against all corners. II is doing the
thing which the ordinary person
thinks 10 impossible. 1t is setting your
standard twice as high as your bust
ness associates would set II for you,
and then reaching Il. 1t is burning
your bridges behind you and stalking
your all on your own endeayor. II Is
taking chances that are not chances
to ordinary people the risk would
be enormous. but the man OF nerve
is not oven taking chances because
he knows he can carry tho thing
through and doesn't allow himself 10
become side-tracked, or even annoy
cd by tho people who say II can't be
done.
Nerve consists not only in under
taking q hard task. but In eycrlast-
ingly and unflinchingly standing by
your business when your friends
have given up in despair. That lie the
truest test Of nerve. II is nerve
that gives us our ctcamboats and At
