THOUGHTS
on BUSINESS
For the Wage-WOrker, the Sal
aired Man, and the Proprietor.
SELMA sTERY.
SELMA sTERY.

@HE PENSTROKE Of abiIity-not
Fate, remember that-divides the
= page of human life into two
great classes OF workmen: leaders and
followers. And the leaders are few
and the followers are legion.
Every ambitious man desires TO be
a leader. Leaders have been made
leaders by accident. yet the quality Of
leadership must necessarily have been
there The only claim 70 accident lay
in its discovery.
By some strange and unforeseen
turn Of Circumstance that quality
sPrang to the fore-and the man was
made TO stand out il strong relief
against the colorless background OF
followers.
But more often leaders have risen to
their heights of command by climb
ing the long. steep road of logical pro-
gress. Their powers gradually have
been demonstrated, recognized. until
at last they have stood apart from
and before their followers. Their
leadership has been self-created- L
has been earned, not given
And the day the first step upward
toward the goal was taken was that
day in which they obtained the mas
terry, not over some OF their fellows. but
over themselves
For q great leader must first OF all
be in command OF himself. II he is
not fit TO be his own director he is
not fit TO direct the destinies of others
Self-mastery, then. is the first re-
quirement. Be so strong in your per-
sonslity. your own judgment, your own
control that your personal qualities
attract attention and create conf
dence.
