It Is Attention to One's
Work That Lifts
the Feet h
higher up on the life ladder. Getting
"over the top1' is possible to whoever
steps out and keeps on stepping out until
he reaches the goal.
Whatever is to be done, get at it
quickly and do it well. V
Recently a man held up a piece of
cabinet work he had done and said to the
foreman, "What do you think of it?" and
the reply was, "It is a fair, rough job;
you could do better!"
A job of any kind, slighted, stands as
a witness against the man who did it.
It not only ranks him as a bad or
indifferent workman, but it may lead to
careless workinanship and a neglectful
habit, which will gradually lower his
standing value .in his trade.
No one may hope to rise above his
present situation who does not con
stantly improve upon his part.
Whatsoever you do, do it well. . -
