LEARN TO DECIDE QUICKLY

In the April American Magazine is
the story of a successful business man
who attributes his success largely to
his faculty for making quick decisi-
ons.
Once decided, you ought not to
waste time. If man decides rightly,
then he has a running start on rivals
who hesitate. If he decides wrongly
then he has discovered his blunder,
backed up, and is ready to start on
even terms with the hesitating rival
for man OF decision can decide he
he is right. Also. in a greater mum.
her of cases, the man who decides
quickly may fail to decide the best
way, and still carry it through to sue
cess, and even convince others he was
right all the time. Inis has happen.
d to me many times in cases where
there were a nImoer of ways in which
a thing might be done.
While we blunder inevitably, l be-
lieve our batting average is higher
than that of timid ones. and the re.
wards much greater | do not think
have erred in fifteen per cent of my
decisions in business, and not in five
Ter cent seriously.
The great advantage of quick &c.
c.s.on lies in the larger rewards that
come to those who are bold for it IL
old to decide Will matters quickly.
The timid and the hesitating get small
profits"
