VALUE OF SELF-CONTROL

During thirty years of association
with John d. Rockefeller, first as
stenographer and later as financial
secretary, George D. Rogers never
once saw Mr.. Rockefeller lose his
temper.
Undoubtedly" says Mr.. Rogers,
"Mr. Rockefeller had early learned
that self-control was short cut TO
the control Of both men and events"
Henry NJ. Flagler, on the other
hand, used to let his temper go, and
later on, just to square himself with
those whose feelings he had nurt un-
necessarily, he'd make them eXtrava-
giant presents.
The man who loses his temper is
in the position of admitting to all who
witness his exhibitions that he is not
master of himself. A loss of temper
means loss of self-control. No man
can enjoy the luxury of losing his
temper regularly and enjoy long life.
Neither can such a man win the low
ing loyalty of his associates.--Tom
Dreier, in Forbes Magazine IN. "

thing in life. Next to that is to know
