HOW TO SUCCEED

A man should start out in life with a firm understanding with himself that he is going to succeed; that he has undertaken to do a certain thing and, no matter how long it takes, or how difficult" the process, he is going 1 n do it. He should resolve at the very outset that if he fails in anything he will make the best possible use of his failure, get the best possible lesson from it; that he will make of it a stepping stone instead of a stumbling block. He should resolve that every setback shall ultimately prove an advance. There is everything^ in starting out with an understanding with yourself that there is nothing else for yo\i but the goal, that you are going to get there sooner or later, no matter Avhat stand? in your way. If you are only half committed to your proposition, however, if you are so loosely attached to your vocation that the least opposition will shake yon from it, you will never get anywhere.
