Men Without Initiative.
Many of life’s otherwise promising
people lack the power of self-direction.
They would resent bitterly being,ealled
slaves. It’s tnie they are not the per

dream of doing anything without con
sulting somebody else, Every move
must lie passed on by oilier minds lie-
fore they feel like going abend. So In
stead of working out their own way In
life tlrvy cater to the opinions of oth
ers. It’s no wonder they are never
heard from. They become the tools of
more alert minds and do only wlmt is
thrust upon them. They may be the
best of workmen, hut they have to be
supervised every step of the way.

powers of self-direction.—Grit.
