into units, each of which is SINAI
enough so that the average man wit
proper training can grasp and over

detail The units or departments arr

manager at the top of the pyramid i.
/ dependent for his success and peace
of mind upon each and every one OF
his heutenants and the performance
by him of his allotted part of the
task and so you will find that the
qualities of trustworthiness and re-
liability are even more valued than
cleverness and brilliancy.
Don't Be a Clock Watcher
And now. just few more general
observations before bringing my re-
marks to a close. Accuracy is obvi-
0usly of great Importance and should
be cultivated 20 the utmost. l don't
mean the kind of accuracy that in
sists on reporting an analysis to the
third decimal place when you know
perfectly well that the method you
use is only accurate to the first deci-
NAL That sort of accuracy is actual
ly untruthful and misleading. When
reporting on any phase of your work
the report should be clear and con-
else and as nearly as you can make
it true picture of what you are re-
porting on--well balanced and cor
rect in its proportion and perspective.
Be enthusiastic about your work,
make it your hobby don't mean to
the exclusion of everything else. on
the contrary, cultivate an interest in
amusements and good
fellowship, but take an active, not
merely a passive interest in your
work Above all. don't be a clock
watcher or attempt to dole out the
amount of service you give your en-
ployer according to your idea of the
value of the salary you happen to be
Rather, go home each day
with the comfortable feeling that you
have given more than value received. /
Don't get the idea that everything |
hat can be done has been accom-
)lished and that no further improve /
nents can be made Realize the |
-aue of past experience but don't |
ct yourself be bound hand and foot /
~ precedent. BE constantly on the |
ookOut for opportunities to stop
waste, to make use of by-products, to
levelop new resources, to do things
,etter than they were being done be-
ore. Realize to start with that you
an only make an exceptional sue
ess by putting forth exceptional eff
orts and know that HE profits most
Who serves best" and then, as Kip
ing has so wonderfully phrased it:
If you can keep your head when all
about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on
you;
f you can trust yourself when all
men doubt you
But make allowance for their
doubling too;
f you can wait and not be tired by
waiting,
or being lied about don't deal in
lies,
Or being hated don't give way to
hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor
talk too wise;
f you can dream-and not make
dreams your master;
If you can think-and not make
thoughts your aim
f you can meet with Triumph and
Disaster
And treat those two imposters just
the same:
f you can bear to hear the truth
you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap
for fools,
r watch the things you gave your
life to, broken,
And stop and build 'em up with
WORKOUT tools;
you can fill the unforgiving min
ute
with sixty seconds worth Of dis
lance run,
ours is the earth and everything
that's in it,
And-which is more-you1l be
