Cheerfulness

Success is the summit we all seek to attain. We
step no escalator or elevator and be whisked
up without exertion.
Cheerfulness is step the ladder
Gain it early.
Success in business, if not in life itself, is
simply the art of pleasing.
The problem of capital is to keep labor content.
Corporations refuse to elect crotchety
executives, managers superintendent foremen,
for crochey overseer makes crotchety. dissatisfied
Promotion today is for the cheerful, not the
cholerlc.
To place cantankerous individual in charge of
business is to pitch crowbar into the machinery.

What means pensions, proft-sharing. sick bene-
fts compensation for accidents group insurance and
the like? Are they not but TO the one great
end, the making of men satisfied?
Dissatisfaction breeds carelessness, indifference
and all manner Of inefficiency.
Cheerfalness is the parent of competency

Schwabs SMILE" J. O. Armour, head of the $500,
O0O,000-a-year packing business, recently told me.
Schwab himself attributes no small part of his
in building up business employing 10000
men to his inexhaustble sunshine.
If a smile can be worth a million, why cultivate
a frown for which there is no market
The Lackawanna Railroad dismissed superin-
tendent solely because he could not handle men
tremendously.
Smiling will carry you farther than swearing.
There is philosophy in the motto overhanging
many desk Smile, and the world smiles with you;
Weep, and you weep alone
That is the modern version of Shakespeares
ornate The merry heart goes all the way. the
sad tires mile"
1t is true ALSO as declared by Theodore n. Vail

Everybody prefers to dc business and to associ-
ate with pleasant rather than peppery person.
Frank A. Vanderp, head of Americas biggest
bank, will engaged high salarled man who has
not demonstrated he has the knack of making many
friends.
One maconent in an organization is as a rotten
apple in basket of fresh fruit.
It has been scientifically proved that worry,
dscor3 and melancholy undermine health.
Good spirits make good digestion.
Cheerfulness costs nothing, yet is beyond price.
1t is assest both of business aud of body
1t helps you to get more-and 1t enables you to
give more-more of that which is worth while.
The big men, the leaders of tomorrow, will be
those who blend cheerfulness with their brains.
The wise will enter his horse if it be
in funky mood for he knows the race is already
lost.
Lifes best be run with light heart
and buoyant countenance.
1t was the original J. P. Morgan who proclaimed
that only optimist could win in this country.
Optimism and cheerfuness are brothers.
The gaining of this rung of the ladder, Cheerful
ness makes easier the assent of the other steps.
