Small Things

We often overlook and neglect
the small things, forgetting that all
big things are made up from small
things. A piece of machinery is
built OF big wheels and little
wheels, big cogs and little cogs.
Without the little cogs, the big
piece Of machinery Is useless.
Little things are often the big
things In life. II you are trust
worthy and reliable In small things
you will be reliable and worthy Of
confidence when big things are Of
fered you. Big men started by do
ing little things. Big business
houses had their beginning in small
stores. Big banks started as small
banks. Lincoln started a little
way. There was nothing about
Lincoln when he was twenty-one
years old that would indicate he
would be n big man before he died,
Lincoln did the small things with
the same degree of honesty and at
tention that he later performed the
big tktng of saving the nation.
That's why he was early called
"Honcst Abe"
II you pay attention to little
things, big things will not seem in
surmountable when they confront
You. by doing little things you
learn how to do bigger things; you
become bigger; the world looks
smaller; ultimately, even the big
gest thing does not appear so big,
for you have the satisfaction Of
knowing that you can accomplish
It.

Building Right

The most important thing about
q building is its foundation, If the
foundation IL built with cheap ma
terial, II the workmen do not do
honest work, the whole structure
rests on a basis that will not with
stand the shocks of tempest and
time.
So also in life, If boys and girls
do not build sound foundation,
their lives will be ruined. The
foundation of life Is character A
stern moral sense of right and
wrong and a. will power to do only
the right thing, even If it costs time
and money, Is good foundation on
which to build your careers.
