Christmas Moves Us To Think Of Others

Managing The Other Fellow's Business Is A Fascinating Game. Trade Unionists All Over The Country Have Pronounced Ideas For The Reform Of Wall Street Banks; And Wall Street Bankers Are Not Far Behind In Giving Plans For The Tremendous Improvement Of Trade Union Policies. Wholesalers Have Schemes For Improving The Retailer; The Retailer Knows Just What Is Wrong In The Conduct Of Wholesale Business-and We Might Go Through A Long List.... Yet For Some Reason The Classes That Ought To Be Helped Keep On Stubbornly Clinging To Their Own Method Of Running Their Affairs.

The Be-all And End-all Of Life Should Not Be To Get Rich, But To Enrich The World.

The Majority Of America's Colossal Fortunes Have Been Made By Entering Industries In Their Early Stages And Developing Leadership In Them.... Think Of What Opportunities The Present And The Future Contain In Such Fields As Ship-building And Ship-owning, Aircraft, Electrical Development, The Oil Industry, Different Branches Of The Automotive Industry, Foreign Trade, International Banking, Invention, The Chemical Industry, Moving Pictures, Color Photography, And, One Night Add, Labor Leadership.

The More I Move Among Workers And Factories And Other Plants, The Stronger I Become Convinced That It Is Advisable To Have As [a Company] President A Practical Man, Preferably One Who Has Risen From The Very Bottom Of The Ladder. Workmen, I Find, Have Far More Respect For Such Men Than For Collar-and-cuff Executives Knowing Little Or Nothing About The Different Kinds Of Work Which Have To Be Done By The Workers. Wherever Circumstances Call For Placing A Financier Or Lawyer Or A Papa's Son At The Head Of A Large Organization, He Should Be Made Chairman Or Some Other Title, But Not President.

Use Life To Provide Something That Outlasts It.
