What it means for a city to be with

GROWING

Most people want to grow. They
would like to advance in their work,
earn more, have greater influence, do
bigger things. Yet, strange to say,
the world is full of people who do
not grow up"
If a man sets his heart upon grow
ing, he has but three things to do:
First. he must be learner all his
life. I do not mean from books only;
almost anyone can learn from books.
Many have attained the knack OF
learning from things, by observation.
Few have acquired all there is to the
art of learning from other people.
Then, he must be a thinker-and
must think hard. He may not be
able to add a cubit to his stature
by taking thought" but he can sure
ly add to his personality, his influence,
his power and success.
Finally he must be doer. Some
people are long on thinking. but are
short on doing. They are the dream
ers. But experience is, after all, the
greatest of all teachers. When You
have the courage to tackle the thing
which tests your utmost ability, then
you are down to the business OF grow
ing in all it's fine points. j. Ogden
Armour in The Armour Magazine.
