You Won't Lose By It.

1t is exactly so in every other
department. II you make your
employer do half your thinking
for you, you only earn half your
money.
Your life may seem a hard one,
and his easy; yet you Will never
make your lot better by shifting
the duties he pays you to do upon
his shoulders
Even If you are working for an
unappreciative employer, you are
not losing anything by doing all
your duty. mentally and physical
~; you are building your own
character, and that will lead to
better positions for you by and
by.
Think about whatever you are
doing, and II you are merely sent
upon an errand, let nothing pre-
vent your accomplishing It short
of an earthquake or tidal wave.
And every morning of your life
say little prayer of gratitude to
the Invisible Powers for giving
you something to do. No matter
how distasteful the work, how in
ferior to the employment Of your
imagination, be thankful for It;
and know by this sense Of graft
tude that you are preparing your
mental ground for better things.
