Believe In Your Business

An exchange well says: If there were only one way on earth to a living, there might be some excusefor engaging in a business out thoroughly believing in it. But there are thousands of occu-' pations offering a variety suited to

every person in the world, including Indians not taxed, as Bill Nye was fond of remarking. No man is so useless and incompetent as the grouch who doesn’t believe in> his work. Disloyalty, insubordination, grumbling, and unreliability are the earmarks of the job hater and the faithful performahce of his work is impossible. The word “duty”is despised by the growler and glorified by the man who loves what he does and believes in it. If you do not believe In your business, try first to see if you can. Don't make a change unless it is absolutely necessary, for three removes are as bad as a fire. But if you really and honestly can’t put your heart and soul into what you are doing, do something else. The world is full of opportunity, and no man is so usless who loves his work; for the man who loves his work will love his family,, his neighbors, his enemies, and his dog. Besides he will respect himself which is something that a man can never do who loathes his business, bates to see the sun rise and damns his employer.
