timistp
Henry Ford followed an age-old
precedent when he said that>to a
man who was arguing with him.
In the old days messengers bring
ing bad tidings were beheaded. The
potentates weren't logical about it.
They didn't stop to reason that the
man who carried the bad news was
innocent enough, any more than
Henry Ford cared to consider that
the man who failed to agree with him
was probably saying what he
honestly believed
But both Henry and the ancient
kings were quite human. Nobody
likes to hear bad news, nobody likes
to talk to a pesimist. Nobody likes
to be disagreed with. You may be
honest in telling the boss what's
wrong with his business. But If you
know what's wrong and he doesn't
ask you that may be one of the
times when silence is golden. Sup
pose you let some one else convince
the boss that he's all wrong, and you
concentrate on some OF the things
that are right.
How About Youf
There must be men who feel like
saying to their wives, Get out and
send me an optimist-I want to talk
to an optimist." Some women are
forever talking about how hard it is
to be poor, what a dreadful cross 1t
Is to have to give the children less
than the best. They don't exactly
reproach their husbands, they just
enlarge upon the drawbacks of their
lot. man who comes home after

like crying with Mr.. Ford: Get out

II you want to get ahead in Mr..
Ford's business or in your own, you'll
specialize on the promising side Of
every situation.
You needn't necessarily be a hypo-
critic to talk success.
There are people in bushes who
always go around telling what's
wrong with the policy what's wrong
with the way things are run. They
may be conscientious directors, but
nobody likes to hear bad tidings, and
folks today are just as human. as
