MORE MONEY THIS SPRING THAN EVER BE
FORE FOR THE MAN WHO SEES Ills
OPPORTUNITY.
Mr. Roger Babson of Babson’s Statistical Organization,
and one of the country’s foremost statisticians, has this to
say about immediate prospacts;
“It is possible for you to make more money this spring
than yon have ever made in any spring during your business
or investing experience.
My acquaintance with business men all over the country
convinces me beyond any doubt, that the successful man is
an opportunist. By this I mean that he always takes advan
tage of the present situation, whatever it may be.
If we go one step farther we find that business men divide
themselves into two distinct classes. The first group is com
posed of a very large number of relatively small executives.
These are opportunists in only a certain part of the business
cycle. From the middle of the period of prosperity, they
make money. The rest of the time they wait for the busi
ness cycle to turn again until this particular combination of
conditions favors them.
The other class —numeiically but much more impor'ant as
individuals embraces the really successful business men of
today. These are opportunists all the time, They make
money in every phase of the business cycle, because they
have learned to take advantage of conditions as they exist
without losing valuable time waiting for the cycle. They
change their methods with conditions, instead of waiting for
conditions to tit their habitual plan of action.
For the partial opportunist there is nothing particularly
encouraging about the spring: There will be no radical im
provement in the situation. In all probability die readjust
ment will continue its present orderly progress, f repeat,
however, that it will be possible for the man who takes ad
vantage of conditions as they are to make money.
We all know a lot of bright fellows who never amount to
anything and who never get anywhere. We also know a lot
of dull fellows who somehow manage to “bring in the ba
con.” This proves that we get paid in proportion to the a
bility we use and not what we possess. The dull fellow is
really the smarter because he has learned his little secret.
Delivery of the goods is the important thing to a man who
is on the paying end of the proposition. What is in a mail’s
head doesn’t interest him so much as what comes out of his
head.
Our young people have all heaid a lot about the value of
nerve —most of them seem to be taking the lesson to heart
only too well.
Many people have heard the failure’s reason for the suc
cessful man. The reason he never fails to give is that his
success is due to “pure bluff.” A lot of people have believ
ed this fairy tale, but they are finding out to their disappoint
ment that there is “nothing in it.”
In spite of pessimistic remarks and empty pocket books,
business is getting better. Shops are opening, railroads are
buying new equipment, and business in general is opening
up. In fact a great deal of business depression has been due
to these same peesimists. They have talked so much about
it that even an optimistic man is afraid to invest a nickel.
Commerce is international. Patriotism, a very estimable
quality, is national. There’s die rub.
It 'seems a queer working of the law that in Germany
where the work is scarcely worth the space it occupies their
factories are all running, and they are not troubled by un
employment problems.
Don’t let the fear of making a mistake impede yourprog
tess. Many people make mistakes, but wise ones never
make the same mistake twice.
