Is This the Secret of Success?
Recently an eminent insur
ance executive gave a speech
in New York. His subject was
success. Men expected him to
say the usual things — h a r d
work, self-denial, self-improve
ment are the ingredients.
He said nothing of the kind.
He told the truth about suc
cess.
For he said, “The common
denominator of success— the
secret of success for every man
who has ever been successful—
lies in the fact that he formed
the habit of doing things that
failures don’t like to do.”
Think that over and you will
see that you have never read
in one, not-too-long sentence
more basic truth about a dis
puted question than you find
here— “he formed the habit of
doing things that failures don’t
like to do.”
There are some parts of my
job I dislike so much I don’t do
them. They keep me from suc
cess, I know. There are some
parts of your job you dislike
so heartily you don’t do them.
That’s all right just so long as
you and I recognize that we
h a n d i c a p ourselves toward
more success in so doing.
I have often told salesmen
that if they’d merely do every
thing they ought to do every
day there’s no amount of suc
cess they wouldn’t attain. “But
I know you won’t do these
things you ought to do,” I al
ways tell them. “Only a few
men will. They are the men
who make the grade, the real
ly successful men. The rest of
us have to be satisfied with less,
which is too bad, because the
more is there waiting for us.”

“I represent the Mountain
Wool Company, ma’m. Would
you be i n t e r e s t e d in some
coarse yarns?”
“Gosh, yes, tell me a couple.”

RECORD NEWS
The Four Vagabonds have
been hitting the high r o a d s
around Chicago for more than
a year, and are now right about
on top. Mid-westerners have
been hearing them over Chi
cago radio stations for s o m e
time - - but since their recent
recording on Bluebird of “Rosie
the Riveter” and “I Had The
Craziest Dream,” their f a m e
has been leaping into high all
around the c o u n t r y . ROSS.
ANN OF CHARING CROSS,
(Bluebird 30-0811) a Hit Par
ade member, is their latest con
tribution to the record world.
Sung in the slow, s o o t h i n g
manner of The Four Vaga
bonds, the s o n g will make
young love and old love lilt
along to its melody.
On the reverse side of this
Bluebird disc, the Four Vaga
bonds bring the first recording
of one of the top novelties of
the day, TEN LITTLE SOLD
IERS. Reminiscent of a favor
ite childhood ditty, “Ten Little
Indian Boys,” the rhythmic
tune is one that gets you whist
ling and humming. TEN LIT
TLE SOLDIERS tells the story
of that many soldiers, ten little
sailors, ten little marines....and
Genevieve.
