jobs matter courses
Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.
stars men self
Most talk about 'super-geniuses' is nonsense. I have found that when 'stars' drop out, successors are usually at hand to fill their places, and the successors are merely men who have learned by application and self-discipline to get full production from an average, normal brain.
thinking people sample
Many of us think of salespeople as people travelling around with sample kits. Instead, we are all salesman, every day of our lives.
men self salary
The man who counts his hours and kicks about his salary is a self-elected failure.
men done he-man
The man who has done his best has done everything. The man who has done less than his best has done nothing.
effort quality steel
The truth is that we have hitherto made no genuine effort to produce forged steel working parts of automobiles of the highest quality. That is one of the reasons why our automobiles have not ranked with those of foreign make.
country uphill-climbs degrees
We have reached in this country an amazing degree of general prosperity, with American business on the whole no longer facing an uphill climb.
men receiving wages
What we must seek is a plan by which the men will receive high wages when the employers are receiving high prices for the product.
believe people genius
The thing that most people call 'genius' I do not believe in.
real opportunity greatness
The real test of business greatness is in giving opportunity to others.
somewhere-else get-away
You can never really get away - - you can only take yourself somewhere else.
opportunity men two
The men who miss success have two general alibis: 'I'm not a genius' is one; and the other, 'There aren't the opportunities today there used to be'.
believe welfare sincere
You can tell a workingman you like him, but he knows whether you are sincere or not. You can't make him believe you are interested in his welfare unless you are.
running passion men
It may be in seemingly unimportant things that a man expresses his passion for perfection, yet they will count heavily in the long run.
