To Achieve True Success.

What will assure success? It needs a combination of sound elements to achieve true success--call it nerve and brains, or over-drawn assurance, whatever you will, The spirit of push, of unbounded perseverance, of untiring patience, is a recognized feature of the true American. and there is no reason to mourn its existence: it is a necessary factor in modern life. In the midst of the hurry and rush of these days a man will be left far in the rear who does not make himself aggressive.

Mere brain power is not enough, there must be some means whereby the ability can be manifested. The man of mere intellect may be a fine scholar and a thoughtful reader, but he can never mingle successfully in the busy actualities of the world at large.

It needs a determination to make the world feel the brain power of the man, this is the means. It need not be shown in a way to annoy or disgust: quietly but persistently the intellect may be made to influence the lives of others. The genius of the head may be exerted by the grasp of the hand and the genial familiarity which follows thereby. It requires pluck and courage To wait in the lowermost places to get an invitation to come higher is pretty poor policy nowadays. If you don't let it be known that you are around some other fellow will climb over you and achieve wealth and renown. Keep looking onward and going onward. Don't stand still. To stand still in business is but to go backward
