Mental Power
T
HE mental condition of the individual has much to do with his failure or success in business.
If a man approaches a problem full of optimism and determination to win, the chances are
that he will succeed; but if he attacks it low-spiritedly and with the fixed belief that the
chances are all against him, his work is pretty sure to end in defeat.
The whole attitude of the mind has a direct bearing upon a man's success, and everyone should
strive to build up mental power and then utilize it.
A man can change his entire character if he persistently and consistently approaches things
with a feeling of confidence in his mental ability to direct himself in the way of accomplishment.
Every man has at his disposal hundreds of illustrations in his own life, from his early days
down to the present time, where he succeeded in doing things which shortly before he looked upon
with doubt; but when he went at them he was imbued with the conquering spirit.
The mental attitude is reflected in business results, and the power of mind is sufficient to make
a winner out of a man instead of a loser.
It is peculiar that while men admit these things they fail to realize, if they approach their
problem in the day's work with a feeling that they can win what they set out to do, that such mental
attitude on their part will bring about its successful accomplishment.
Discouragement at the outset means that a man has placed a big obstacle in the way of suc-
cess—an obstacle which it will be difficult to overcome later on.
Peculiar as it may be, sometimes disappointment even is good for a man, and it will make him
stronger and braver in mind and more self-reliant because of misfortune. He will have a deeper
understanding of human nature and a larger sympathy for his fellow men through having known
troubles and disappointments.
It is simply the life lesson of self-development given to learn industry, self-control and econ-
omy. By patient persistence we learn them all, but if we had not been softened by misfortune
we would lack a certain principle of appreciation which is necessary to enjoy life in a reasonable
and rational manner.
'^^/•>--v:v. ;
Cultivating the mind will have a wonderful effect upon our everyday lives.
Mental culture is necessary to a high form of development,
A man will find that worry and anxiety will make success impos-
sible, and that success is something that must exist in the mind before
it can be realized as an actuality.
