ALK about opportunities!
There are plenty of them all about, and the man with the big opportunity to-day is the man in
the ranks.
In my opinion the events of the next ten years will demonstrate that the men who have
achieved the big successes will be those who have worked up from humble beginnings.
There are a lot of men who feel that they have had no reasonable opportunity to develop their intel-
lectual powers.
Strange as it may seem, most of us believe that if we had had a larger field in which to operate we should
have astonished the world with our wonderful powers; and so it goes!
It may be that some men are over-cautious.
They lack confidence in themselves, and the man who is over-cautious rarely ever advances.
He thinks he has ability, but is afraid to shy his castor in the ring and take his chances.
Nine times out of ten you will find that the man who is afraid is a pessimist.
He is invariably looking on the dark side of things, and when that feeling is allowed to remain in one's
mind too long it poisons the wellspring? of human nature and injures, through doubt, a human life.
Doubt depresses.
It hangs like a curtain of gloom, and the person who lives in that kind of an atmosphere develops
pessimistic qualities.
Leave doubt behind.
Clear the sky and live in the sunshine!
Believe in many things and brush away doubt as you would cobwebs from the brain.
Have confidence in your own ability.
Have confidence in mankind and do not be a habitual doubter.
Life at best has too little sunlight in it to have it entirely eliminated by doubt.
Sit down and discuss anything with a man whose mind is filled with doubts as to business—as to meth-
ods—as to ideals—as to principles—and see how you feel after about half an hour's contact with such a
person!
If he does not exude a poison which depresses and has the tendency to crush out all the buoyancy in
one's being then I am entirely wrong in my estimate of men.
Be buoyant—be hopeful—be one of those who will win success!
