Success and Failure
The Only People Who Fail
Are Those Who Take a
Sedative and Go to Sleep
on the Track When They
See Trouble Coming"
By EBERT HUBBARD

w WITHOUT a. knowledge OF
wv the Law Of Average the
insurance companies would
be unable to do business. By it
they eliminate chance, for chance
applies only to small numbers.
Once understand the working
principle of things and there is
no uncertainty. The rest is mere
detail.
Business in the United States
is not an uncertain proposition,
taken as q whole.
When you hear somebody say
that 95 men out Of 100 fail in
business, put it down on a par
with one of those ancient bro
mides about nine men out of ten
in our great cities eventually
filling drunkards' graves. 1t is
hookworm talk.
F0tl1re is the eGceptsoH.
Men may die, but very, very
seldom do they Join the down
and-out club.
Failure, like disease. always
sends warnings; it rings the bell
and blows its whistle.
And most men, everywhere, are
able to sidestep. hedge, counter,
duck, climb the fence, raise an
umbrella and escape the grim
monster Of defeat.

Eternal REIMBURSEMENT.

Business is an eternal read
justment to meet new conditions
always, Of course, granting the
dictum that life is dangerous
business and that mono of US get
out of it alive.
But death and failure are not
synonymous. Death is as natural
as life, and for all we know, just
as good Thomas Carlyle said 1t
was better, but he spoke while
yet alive.
The only people who fail are
those who take sedative and go
to sleep on the track when they
see trouble coming.
Success, of course, is a compar-
ative proposition. There is no
such thing as an absolute sue
cess. Neither should there be alb
solute failure. Walking is simply
g. falling forward and a contin-
ual recovery. So business men,
every day, make mistakes-but
they profit by them.
We grow through our errors,

for only by trying do we discoy.,
the futility of things.
Last year, in America. there
were $4,000 failures. These fail.
ures came along at the rate a,
from $50 to 800 a week.
Look at the official stst!sti,,
and you VIII be amazed to see
for ten years or more. the even.
ness with which the thing runs
So there you get it; 1000 con-
Germs going into bankruptcy
every year.
But just remember that wher.
10000 firms go into bankruptcy
there are 100000 business con.
Germs that don't.
Also, note this, that Of All
bankrupts 80 per cent are men
employing a capital OF less than
$4,000 OF the 1900 failures in
1913 only 22s had liabilities o,
over 81 900.
