CUT OUT THE “T”

By GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS.

The greatest word in all tlieTahguage of Achievement is the little three-letter word C-A-N. A man grows because of what he feels and knows in his heart and in Ms mind that he CAN. But the weakest word in all the language of words is the invented combination of words — C-A-N-’T. When you think that you CAN’T, Just cut out the “T” and you CAN, People are led by their masters. Sometimes these masters are Nerves, sometimes Stomachs, sometimes some Infirmity, sometimes Imagination. But when a man is led by the master Will, the only things that he CAN’T do ai;e the things that he decides not to do. When yon think that you CAN’T, just cut out the “T" and you CAN’. Look about you. There you see a fellow who is going ahead and accomplishing things and keeping still about it. After a while he won’t be w hereJie is now, but somewhere —no matter where —in a big place. He knows he CAN and He started out by cutting out the “T” in CAN’T. When you think that you CAN’T, just cut out the “T” and you CAN.
