HINTS FOR SUCCESS
To determine the pattern of success, there’s no
better way than to review the lives of successful
men and women. No matter what their businesses
or professions, regardless of birth or formal edu
cation, certain trains of personality, certain ways
of doing things stand out above all else. Those
people had nothing you don’t have or can’t de
velop. Regardless of the economic or political
system, the successful man or woman has always
been—and will always be—
- One who gets things done, quickly and quietly.
One who gets to work on time and who isn’t
always the first to leave.
One who listens carefully to instructions, then
conscientiously carries them out.
One who doesn’t alibi if he fails.
One who isn’t burdened with self-pity for hav-
an eight-hour shift each day as a nurse’s aid. She
plans to attend the nursing school at Mt. Sinai
Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland, where she will
specialize in operating room nursing.
Ollie Jean is the only daughter of Mrs. Maude
Emory of Brevard. She has been interested in a
nursing career since she was a sophomore at Bre
vard High School. She will enter the Latta School
of Nursing of Memorial Mission Hospital in Sep
tember, and plans to return to Brevard after com
pleting her training.
Wanda Waters of Brevard was selected as first
alternate and Joyce McCall of Balsam Grove as
second alternate.
The Committee which selected these recipiants
is composed of Miss Martha Choate, Dr. R. L.
Strieker, Rev. J. J. Holmes and Dr. B. A. Stevens.
ing to work.
One who is neat in appearance.
One who cooperates cheerfully, who is cour
teous to everyone and determined to make good.
If these traits are yours, there is no limit to the
success you can achieve. Age or lack of experi
ence doesn’t count. The only thing that does is
your ambition which, in combination with your
ability, creates your opportunities for success. If
you keep plugging away, you’ll get where you
want to get. For you are the kind of individual
any business wants — and wants to keep.
