BLAMING YOURSELF

TT IS always easy to find somebody
4 TO blame for your mistakes. You
are probably misunderstood, Every
body Is. You are probably a square
peg in q round hole. SO is every
other unsuccessful person. Doubtless
the world is blind to your talent. 1t
was blind to Shakespeare's talent for
many years. But Shakespeare died
rich and successful man.
The temptation to pass the buck"
is often almost irresistible. But yield
to it till it becomes Il habit and you
might as well quit now. You will
never get anywhere.
While most bicycle repairers in one
large city were blaming the collapse
OF the bicycle boom for their hard luck,
Wilbur and Oiville Wright were at
work on vehicle that would as far
surpass the bicycle as the eagle sur
passes the tortoise.
They didn't blame anybody but
themselves, and they blamed them
selves severely when they made costly
mistakes.
by and by they found way to
escape their own blame. Then they
began to succeed.
In every office there are clerks that
blame the boss for their lack Of oppor-
tunity. They find an excuse for all
their bad work, for the results of their
idleness. And they are so busy find
ing excuses that they never have time
to find the opportunities that are
around them.
il you don't want other people to
criticize you, be your own critic.
Don't be an easy one either. Make
your own standard higher than your
boss. Give him a little more than he
expects, or a great deal more than he
expects and you will attract his atten-
ton. If you don't attract his atten-
ton except unfayorably, he'll begin
to hunt for somebody who will
There are of course people who are
abused as much as they think they
are. but you can write on postage
stamp the names Of all such persons
you know. You and nobody else are
to blame for your failures or reSpOn-
sible for your success. Be unsparlng
Of the blame. Check up every days
work and see If it would satisfy you
If you were the boss. If it wouldn't,
do better work the next day.
Nobody will be interested in your
excuses or your "alibis." Everybody
viii be interested in what you really
accomplish. You can get somewhere
in the world If you try. But you'll
have to try extrhmely hard, for there
will be abundant competition.
