! , Success Lies Less
in the possession of some special gift than it lies in
the human power to put to use the more or less
common gifts of which almost every one has absolute
ownership. It is a common custom to look around
outside of ourselves for somebody to do things,
instead of looking at ourselves for the best one able
to do the job.
it Tho rlmmr nf fho :irtn:il
us is the backbone of success. When we were little
we were each christened with a name, but there is
within us a man as yet without a name. This nameless
man has never. been tried out. He may be an Edison,
a Ford, a Sargent, an Alexander Graham Bell or a
Joseph H. Choate.
Let us stop shilly-shallying and call out the inner
reserves and earn at least simple interest on the sums
somebody paid for us to give us an education, to do
something more than occasional dreaming.
Examples such as this Store; the useful time
saving pneumatic tubes, rubber tires, typewriters
only dreams aforetime prove that when Ave add to
' dreams practical work, something happens.
