All men that have
amounted to anything have cleared their way and they did not have
the assistance that you will have today.
The one great keynote of success is to do whatever you have
decided on. Don't be turned from your path, but resolve that you
are going to accomplish what you set out to do. Don't be
frightened at a few rebuffs, for they cannot stop the man that is
determined--the man that knows in his heart that success is only
bought by tremendous resolution, by concentrated and
whole-hearted effort.
"He who has a firm will," says Goethe, "molds the world to
himself."
"People do not lack strength," says Victor Hugo; "they lack
Will."
It is not so much skill that wins victories as it is activity and
great determination There is no such thing as failure for the man
that does his best. No matter what you may be working at, at the
present time, don't let this make you lose courage. The tides are
continually changing, and tomorrow or some other day they will
turn to your advantage if you are a willing and are an ambitious
worker. There is nothing that develops you and increases your
courage like work. If it were not for work how monotonous life
would at last become!
So I say to the man that wants to advance, "Don't look upon your
present position as your permanent one.
