H E idea of alchemy in the Middle Ages was to change the so-called base metals by the application
of mechanical methods.
But that which was considered chimerical and impossible to realize on a purely material
sphere has been accomplished in the fullest manner possible, in the realm of business develop-
ment by the marvelous skill of our great industrial chieftains.
We have men in this busy modern world of ours who have performed tasks which seemed well
nigh impossible, but by holding to certain ideals and refusing to be discouraged they have moved steadily
ahead, and to the average man who contemplates their progress and who knows nothing of their
struggles it seems as if things just drifted their way.
Impossible! There has been no listless drifting.
There has been strenuous action.
There is no man in the world who is so successful that things invariably go just the way he wants
them to go.
There is no man who reaches a point where he is never confronted by disagreeable duties, but it
is the ability to perform those duties by training their will to accomplish disagreeable tasks that men
have succeeded in gaining a mastery over themselves and over others. '
.
Will power is a tremendous vitalizing force in our lives.
It is so important that we should make the constant practice of bringing it lo bear upon all tasks
when particularly disagreeable.
Psychologists insist upon our performance of disagreeable things,- for the agreeable things
require no special effort to accomplish, but a mental opposition brings out the development which is
absolutely necessary to intellectual growth.
It is the power of the mind concentrated .with strength enough to win out on disagreeable things
which enables us to advance..

What" salesman who has ever concentrated his whole energies upon the accomplishment of a
sale which seemed almost impossible did not feel a new strength in his own ability after he had con-
cluded the deal!
It is by concentration—determination—will power—upon the tough things of life which makes
human progress possible.
If sales were easy what need for accomplished salesmen—what need for studying the art of
selling?
An automaton could deliver a few carefully punctuated sentences—close up the deal and that
would be all; but it is not so, and if every salesman would simply, make up his mind to win on the dis-
agreeable tasks he would be surprised to see how frequently he would -win out, and after a while failure
would become unknown.
