Our Attitude Toward Work
We cannot succeed if our attitude
toward "our business in hand" is not
what it should be- It is a certain fact
today that competence to the limit is
demanded as never before. There
fore we can not "get by" with slack
work. We never rise higher than our
ideals. An aim. an object, a goal
must always be before us if life is to
be worth while. A woman in this
day and time with no goal in view is
to be pitied. "Helpfulness," this isl
the word that lifts and inspires. 1t
will tide US over the shadows of a
self-centered life The ambition to be
useful, to make the most of our God
given powersis gift from higher
source that is worth while, We have
only one life to livel We all want to
do our best with it. Therefore we
should ask ourselves this question,
what is worth while? Our duty in
this new day is well defined. The vast
and beautiful gift of life has been
laid in our hands. and the question
before us is not, How much time
have WEI" for each of US has the /
same amount; we have "all there is.
The question is, "What shall we do |
with it," A strong thinker once said,
No one knocks at my door who is |
not sent by God" We are spending
time we'll when we are paying it out |
to God, whether he is putting before |
US duty to be done. small service
to be rendered, a child to be consoled,
or house to be set in order. Women
are working out problem in history
today, and the world is looking on to |
see what we will do with our lives.
Suppose each Of US should resolve to-
day that not moment should be |
wasted. What energy, strength,
noble purpose and grand results may
be accomplished.
