YOUR IMPRESS.
Now what is yonr niche in the mind of • the man who met you yesterday ? He figured you out and labeled you; then carefully filed you. away. Are you on his list as one to respect, or as one to be ignored? Does he think you the sort that’s sure to win, of the kind that’s quickly floored ? i, The things you said—were they those that stick, or the kind that fade and die? The story you told —did you tell it your 1 best? If not, in all conscience why? Tour notion of things in the world of trade—did you make that notion clear? Did you make it sound to the listener* as though it were good to hear? Did you mean, right down in your heart of hearts, the things that you then expressed ? Or was it the talk of a better man in the clumsier language dressed? Did you think while you talked? Or but glibly recite what yon had heard or read? Had you made it your own—this saying of yours—or quoted what others said ? Think—what is your niche in the mind of the man who met you yesterday And figured you out and labeled you; then carefully filed you away?
