Some Views by Hughes.
II believe In work. hard work and

Il notice that most successful men
are those whose minds ara always
cool. who. no matter how swift the
movements OF their bodies, ara Ahie

who reaches the corner frst who
wins. but the man who knows exactly
what he IL going to- dn whsu hs
reaches the corner,
Il regard a successful man ~ one
who has utilized to iex fullest s1tsnt
