A man, if he is wise... |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 do any
harm to smile and say "Good Morning", even if it is raining. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He learns that it doesn't pay to
be a sensitive soul - that he should let some things go over his head. |
|
He learns that most of the other
fellows are as ambitious as he is, that they have brains too, and that hard
work and not cleverness is the secret of success. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He learns that he who loses his
temper usually loses. |
|
He learns to sympathize with the
youngster coming into the business, because he remembers how bewildered he
was when he first started out. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He learns that all men have
burnt toast for breakfast now and then, and that he shouldn't take the other
fellow's grouch too seriously. |
|
He learns not to worry when he
loses an order because experience has shown him that if he always gives his
best his averate will break pretty well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He learns that carrying a chip
on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into a fight. |
|
He learns that bosses are not
monsters trying to get the last ounce of work out of him for the least amount
of pay. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He learns that it doesn't matter
so much who gets the credit so long as the business shows a profit. |
|
He learns that the gang is not
any harder to get along with in one place that the other, and that
"getting along" depends about 98 percent on himself. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He learns that buck-passing
always turns out to be a boomerang, and that it never pays. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
He comes to realize that the
business could run along perfectly well without him.
