Wilfred Peterson wrote a little
piece on The Art Of Getting Along,
which Is worth reading and practic-
Ing. We quote:
Sooner or later, a man. If he is
wise, discovers that life is a mixture
Of good days and bad. victory and
defeat, give and take. He learns that
it doesn't pay to be a too sensitive
soul; that he should let some things
60 over his head like water off
ducks back. He learns that he who
Loses his temper usually loses out.
He learns that all men have burnt
toast for breakfast now and then,
and that he shouldn't take the other
fellows crouch too seriously. He
learns that carrying a chip on his
shoulder is the easiest way to get
into a fight. He learns that the quick
est way to become unpopular Is to
carry tales and gossip about others.
He learns that buck-passing al
ways turns out to be a boomerang, |
and that it never pays. He ZONES to
realize that the business could run
along perfectly well without him.
He learns that it doesn't matter so
much who gets the credit so long as
the business benefits. He learns that
even the janitor is human and that
it does no harm to smile and say
Good Morning, even if it's rain !

He learns that most of the other |
fellows are as ambitious as he is, that |
they have brains as good or better,
and that hard work, not ~cleverness
is the secret of success. He learns to
sympathize with the youngster COM
ing into the business, because he re-
members how bewildered he was
when he first started out.
He learns not to worry when he
loses an order, because experience
has shown that if he always gives his
best, his average will break pretty
well. He learns that no nan ever
got to first base alone, and that it IS
only through cooperative effort that
we move on to better things.
He learns that bosses are no mon
sters, trying to get the last ounce Of
work out of him for the least amount
of pay, but that they are usually
pretty good fellows who have sue
ceeded through hard work and who
want to do the right thing. He learns
that folks are not any harder to get
along with in one place than anoth-
