HE successful man makes the impossible possible.
He is not discouraged by any combination or series of combinations which seem to
be formed to obstruct his onward pathway.
He never shirks a duty or shifts responsibility, and in this way only success is achieved.
The successful man is never making excuses, and nine times out of ten you will find that the
man who is an adept in making apologies lacks force enough to close a sale.
He makes up in excuses what he fails to achieve in effort.
Application, perseverance, accuracy—the trinity of success.
Indifference, incompetence, apology—the trinity of failure.

While the Declaration of Independence stated that all men were born free and equal, it had no ref-

naturally befalls us, the day of the agitator and the meddler will be gone, and the day of Paradise
will ha-ve dawned with rosy promises of universal peace.

and fault-finding.
