From an unknown author cornea the all-important question to every seeker for sucecss: "You want success. Are you wilting to pay the price for it ? “How much,discouragement can -you stand? “How much bruising can you take"? “How long can you hang ,on in the face of obstacles? , “Haye you the grit to try io io what others have failed to do? “Have you the nerve to tin kle things that the average man would neverX dream of attempting. “Have you the persistence to keep on trying after repeated failures ? “Can you cut out luxuries ? Can you do without things that others consider necessary? “Can you go up against skepticism, ridicule, friendly advice to quit, with- 1 out flinching? “Can you keep your mind steadily on the single object you are pursuing, resisting all temptation., to divide your attention ? “Have you the patience to plan the work you attempt; the energy to wade through masess of details; the accuracy to overlook no point, however small, in planning or executing.? “Are you strong on the finish as well as quick at the start? “Success is sold in the open market. You can. buy it—l can buy it—any man can buy it who is willing to pay the price for it.”
