The Way To Make A True Friend

I Have Never Seen People Who Could Do Real Work Except Under The Stimulus Of Encouragement And Enthusiasm And The Approval Of The People For Whom They Are Working.

Uncertainty Hurts Business. It Annoys Individuals. Why Keep The Whole Country, Including Business And Individuals, In Uncertainty Over The Extent Of The Tax Burdens To Be Placed Upon Us? How Many Of Those Who Voted For Calvin Coolidge Imagined For A Moment That Would Do Nothing To Bring About Tax Relief Before 1926?....

Has Your Work Become Very Easy? Do You Find You Can Do It With Little Effort? Has It Ceased To Impose Any Strain Or Fatigue Upon You? Do You No Longer Feel Loss Of Vitality After A Long Spell Of It? Can You Now Do It As Easy As Water Rolls Off A Duck's Back? If So, Look Out! Do Some Stock-taking. Examine Your Output.... Work Done With Little Effort Is Likely To Yield Little Result. Every Job Can Be Done Excellently Or Indifferently. Excellence Necessitates Effort-hard, Sustained, Concentrated Effort.

Which Is More Worthwhile Earning: A Large Fortune Or The Esteem And Gratitude Of The Nation? This Question Is Prompted Anew By The Death Of Ex-secretary Of The Interior [franklin K.] Lane.

Are You Doing The Kind Of Work You Were Built For, So That You Can Expect To Be Able To Do Very Large Amounts Of That Kind And Thrive Under It? Or Are You Doing A Kind Of Which You Can Do Comparatively Little.
