Smile
Smile!
The face that Smiles is the face that everyone is looking for — and wants. Smile. For the Smiler is the Climber — and the Smiler is the Winner.
Smile.
If doubt and defeat drub you at times — Smile. Smile. If it rains when you think it ought to shine — Smile. Smile. Start Smiles. Smile. The Smiling Worker is the Smiling Doer. Smile.
Smile.
More things have been wrought and brought through Smiles than this world dreams of. Smile. A Failure doesn’t want to Smile — and can’t. A Winner wants to Smile — and can’t help it. Smile.
Smile.
Smiles beget Smiles. Smile. Smiles warm the blood, stiffen the back and start courage anew. Smile.
Smile.
Smile when you wake. Smile. Smile when you go and Smile when you come. Smile. Smile when you start your work and Smile when you end it. Smile. For Smiles keep the livelong day from going stale. And Smiles keep the well from going dry. Smile.
Smiles are the headlights of Success. And they always point the way that wins the day.
Smile.
Grit
Grit is getting the Brain and Heart and Soul of a man fused for a concerted, white-hot attack on Failure.
Grit is what grasps at the raw edge of Victory and chews it to the point of easy digestion.
And Grit wins — it gets there!
Grit started the action of the world — and has moved things ever since.
Grit lost — all is lost.
Grit is what keeps us from becoming beggars — helps us to shake hands heartily with Progress. Grit is the maker of Masters that master all things. Grit drives the stakes that point the path. Grit is what keeps a fighting man from going “stale.”
Grit “brings home the bacon.”
Grit makes the way for the Worker and the Doer. Grit is the pivot on which the aims and ideals and hopes of fighters hang steadily unto Success.
No sweat, no sweet — no Grit, no Glory.
So — get Grit!
Chances
Grasp your Chances as they come.
For it’s the approaching of the Goal — just ahead — the turning of the Chance into the Achievement, that stirs and spurs the striving man to the fought-out fact of the thing dreamed about, planned about — and done.
Take advantage of the smallest chance.
First see it. Then grasp it! Then bolt it to your very soul. Remembering that Chances seen — and secured — breed Ideas, mold the Characters of mighty Men — and make Success sure.
Master the trivial. And the big things will loom into Deeds, perfectly plain, exact — undertakable. Especially is this true of the beginner of big things starting small. Deeds done determine the value of the Chance seized by the man.
The large tasks of the world lie hidden underneath the smallest Chances sought for with calm Patience and cool Courage. If past Chances appear neglected, passed by, or not seen, the future Chances streak toward you from in front — or maybe latent — but ready. Seek them, find them. Then hold them — “for keeps.”
Success follows the Chances nailed down — things done.
You — to-day — go after the Chances. Take them, ruddy and new, and build from this day, things worthwhile and things for more than to-day.
Grasp your Chances as they come.
Conscience
Be Square.
The man of all men most miserable is the man with a worn, weary, weeping Conscience.
Be Square.
Conscience is the fellow who sits on the throne of your Soul and calls out the Danger Signal when your life craft sights Icebergs. Conscience is the pilot of a man’s Hope toward Success. Conscience is the Busy Signal sign that halts a man just as he is about to do what he ought not to but wants to.
Be Square.
Conscience is the Voice of Duty — in every-day clothes.
Be Square.
Conscience is what you feel but do not hear. Conscience is the still, strong, silent, unseen Force that is ever with you — that invariably hunches you in the ribs — mute warner that you are on the wrong track, traveling in the wrong direction, playing the wrong game. Regardless of all other heeds, beck or call — hear, listen to — obey your Conscience to the letter.
Be Square.
The Man with the Conscience makes the Business with a Conscience. The Business with the Conscience makes the Nation with the Conscience. Conscience in Power is real achievement athrone.
Be Square.
As a Man or Woman, think it over. Conscience to you is as no other Conscience to any other Man or Woman. And the height to which Peace and Power may climb in you can be only in proportion to the Peace and Power which obedience to Conscience brings. So, follow your own Conscience all the way.
Be Square.
Promptness
Be on Time.
Because of the lateness of Marshal Grouchy of the French army at the battle of Waterloo, Blucher had time to whip his army on to the help of Wellington. Napoleon ordered rightly. Had not the man to whom he entrusted those orders blundered — hesitated — been Late — the whole history of Europe would have been changed from 1815.
Be on Time.
“The Train was late,” is the most frequent explanation after a terrible accident. What a multitude of lives have been lost, what an army of men and women have been deprived of position and honor, what untold suffering and humiliation have followed in the path of the late Mr. Late. Nothing pays better than Promptness.
Be on Time.
Promptness is the act of being on the job when your name is called — and answering to it. Not NEARBY — but THERE.
Be on Time.
Time tolls its minutes with even, regular strokes. The Job, the Appointment, the Order, the Friend, the Opportunity — won’t wait for the man who doesn’t respond on the dot.
Be on Time.
Be not deceived by the cheap clanging of Gold and Silver — gifts through whose possession you imagine yourself immune to Honor and the Promptness of Appointments. There is no winning to the slothful. The world with all its wonderful offerings gives its Choice freely to the man of his word.
Be on Time.
Be on Time at your desk each day — at each and every Appointment throughout each day. The path to greatness starts by being on time each morning at your own Breakfast table. That’s the beginning anyway.
Be on Time.
Thoughts
