The world Is accustomed to look upon the first of the new year as a new starting point; as the be ginning of another lap In the race of life; a time to forget the failures end disappointments of the past; a time to take fresh hold on our busi ness affairs, a time to make new resolutions, new plans, building new hopes and in a declaration of a new set of rules of action. In beginning anew, have a care that the new plana you are making are plana for success, rot failure. There are two ways of making a new start. One way will lead you to success while the other will carry you from it. Don't overlook the fact that standing still, making no change, no additional effort, no new enterprise, will be as fatal to your u(!ces8 as going in the wrong direc tion. Don't forget that every busi ness, every enterprise is always a venture, and In a way an experiment until it is proved a success. Do not hesitate to venture, for he who hesl Jjesltates is lost. Be reasonably sure that your enterprise Is safe and prac tical If It Is reasonably so, then go Jn to win. Above all don't allow un jfinlshed business of a year past and gone hamper you in the work of the present and future. If you have the unfortunate tendency to put things off there is probably much you must do now that should have been done last week, or last month to Start the new year right. You must with n clean slate; time spent In cleaning up the accumulated neglected ,duties of the past is worse man wasted and furthermore work half jlone is a rotten foundation upon .uhlnh to build your hopes and plans t, futur. Clean house; get -it Wn the harness, work night and day, if necessary, to get all your work done before you, with none of It be hind. Start in right by starting even with your work. Then keep right by keeping your work even with you and at the end of the year balance ac counts and you -will be suprlsed at the result.
