Must Push Door of Opportunity.
Boys, the door of opportunity is
marked ‘ ‘push.” Some read it
‘pull.’ But it swings the other way.
Don’t graft. It’s as mean to
steal an hour as it is a dollar. Don’t
let the other fellow graft either. It
is not so smart as you think for. In
the long run you and I have to pay
the bill of every loafer on the job.
Spend your dollars carefully. But
spend your hours of leisusure even
more carefully.
In it few weeks some of you boys
will seek a job. The boss will look
you in the eye and ask you one
clean cut question. “What can you
do?” Look at him with a steady eye
and give him a clean cut answer.
Think twin before you throw up
the job. The next one will have its
trouble. Some day you will want a
few rccomendations and then your
past records will count. Don’t look
for a situation with the emphasis
on the “sit.”
Better wear out your sole leather
than your trousers. Don’t tell any
one when you apply for work that
you “can do anything.”
Too many people are seeking“any-
thing” in these days and “anything’
is hard lo find. —The Big Brother.
Oeorgia has no hall of fame* nor rosier ot inunorials; but our subscription list is the next thing to it.
