T
H E man who figures that his opportunities are limited to-day is the one who has tailed to correctly
size up the situation and by nurturing such a belief he is daily contributing to his own defeat.
He is placing barriers before him which are growing higher every day—hence more difficult
to vault over; and, worse than that, he is shackling himself in such a manner that he is making
his own advance more and more difficult.
Conditions are constantly changing and there is a greater demand to-day for men of ability than ever
before in the world's history; but the world demands good men—it does not want the imitation.
New combinations in the industrial, financial and mercantile world are producing new and novel
phases daily, and there is an increasing demand for men with ideas.
Every successful manufacturer sees a wide horizon for his goods, and he quite naturally desires men
around him who are in sympathy with his ideas and who are willing to work for the future.
Now, this is the day of change, and there are marvelous opportunities on every hand.
The electrical field alone is opening up new vistas, the possibilities of which are unknown.
The power of Niagara to-day is enormous, so that pianos and other goods in the city of Buffalo are
being-produced by the aid of this power, which has been going to waste for centuries.
Talk about opportunities!
There are plenty of them for men who have the courage and ambition; but there is no future for the
men who will sit around and say that things are going to the demnition bow-wows and who cannot see a
thing but danger and disaster on every side, and who are unwilling to take the slightest risk to enter the
current which is bearing some men on to fame and fortune.
They would rather sit on the shore and shiver!
