GOOD MEN ARE DISSATISFIED

Feel That They Don’t Measure Up -to Own Standards Every Day in Week. So you feel' that you're a failure because you don’t measure up to your own standards, every day in the week? Buck up, brother! That’s the way all good, go-ahead men feel s sometimes! * If they weren’t dissatisfied with their performances as well as their promises, they'd be trotting around in a circle; and that means business dry rot, if anyone asks you. A certain amount of self-dissatisfac-tion is best tonic in the world for the genus, man. It keeps him from broodin’ on bein’ a man —like David Harum’s flea-bitten dog, you know! As long as you can find fault with yourself and your works, you’re alive, my friend. When you get to the point where you feel sorry for other men because they aren’t such good salesmen,/or managers, or presidents—or porters — as yoli, then is the time for the doctor to put you on a diet and prescribe perfect quiet—to keep” you from going crazy about yourself! Don’t get the glooms oYer self-disr trust. Ambition and dissatisfaction are half brothers, anyway! Exchange.
