THE PRICE OF SUCCESS


There are seldom any gains, with
out pains. Everything really worth
while that you go out and get, carries
a'cOst.
Success is thing you purchase
but NOT with money.
You purchase it with THOUGHT
EFFORT, TIME.
Most men know what is the NEXT
STEP for them to make to climb up
higher in life, but they balk in making
that next step, because they don't like
to pay the price-they don't like to
devote part of their time to intense
thought. They dodge paying the price
in physical effort.
