Never Admit Defeat Never admit defeat or poverty, though you seem to be down and have not a cent. Stoutly assert your divine right to be n man, to hold your head up and look the world In the face; step bravely to the front whatever opposes, and the world will make way for you. No one will insist upon your rights while you yourself doubt that you pos sess the qualities requisite for suc cess. Never allow yourself to be a traitor to your own cause by under mining your self-confidence. There never was a time before when persistent, original force was so much in demand as new. The namby-pam by, nerveless man has little show In the hustling world of to-day. In the twentieth century a man must either push or be pushed. Every one admires the man who can assert his rights and has the power to demand and take them if denied him. No one can respect the man who slinks in the rear and apologizes for being in the world.
