Preparation for service is the first advice needed by all who would serve<br />
well. The tool should have a keen edge, or else much of the strength is<br />
wasted in wielding a dull instrument. Discipline the hand, by the most<br />
c a r e f u l c u l t u r e o f t h e m i n d . B e n o t i n h a s t e t o s e l l<br />
your time and strength and skill at a meager price, when a keener edge<br />
may command a higher premium by preparation.<br />
Make yourself indispensable to him who gives employment. Please<br />
him, and you will be best pleased in turn. Always be employed, if for no<br />
other reason than the cultivation of an industrious habit. Be your own<br />
employer as soon as possible. There will always be competition in all<br />
lines of unskilled labor. Begin to give employment to others, and the<br />
industrious habit and the experience as a wage-earner will serve you<br />
well.<br />
If no work is at hand, study. Seek instruction. Read books, papers,<br />
magazine articles, especially those that concern your calling.<br />
The example of very many around you may be of the indifferent sort. Its<br />
effect might be enervating, misleading, destructive.<br />
Do not trifle. When at play, play. In hours of relaxation give yourself<br />
over to sports and pastimes for a purpose. When study or work is<br />
resumed, make the most of it. By a resolution of the will, seek for<br />
excellence along all lines of honest toil.<br />
Money makes money. The first one hundred dollars earned and saved,<br />
and rightly invested, may tell of hardships, sacrifices, and anxiety,<br />
beyond that experienced in the accumulation of the next nine hundred.<br />
But still the story of the conquest of the first thousand dollars will read<br />
like a romance, compared with the dull prose that describes the coming<br />
of nine companions of like number. All this has . . .<br />
its beginning in determination,<br />
