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. NO- 14
