THE WAY TO SUCCEED
(C o n tin u e d from p ag e 1)
gence (o r v isio n ); C ourage, and Self-control. T h in k
th is over an d by stu d y and usage m ake y o u r life here
and in later years th e b etter for it.
T h e three qualities so necessary to success, are:
1st. Intelligence (o r v isio n ).
2nd. Self-control.
3rd. Courage.
It may also be added that we, as a people, are d iv id
ed into two great classes: T hose who see th in g s, and
those who d o n ’t. A person who has the intelligence
to see th in g s, or ra th e r to reason o u t a fu tu re for
him self, is o n e-th ird on the road to success. A n o th er
one-third is th e self-control necessary to do, little by’lit-
tle, th in g s w hich are im perative, no m atter how hard
or unpleasant the details of doing them may be. T h e
last on e-th ird , to m ake u p th e w hole, is the courage
and stability to stick to th e th in g on han d in sp ite of
difficulties and tem p tatio n s th a t m ay appear. T hese
three q u alities in a m an or w om an will in su re success,
absolutely.
