ISo hotxest. truthful, sincere and serious. Being slippery and tricky may gain you temporary advantage, but in the I ore run it will he yonr undoing. "i. Be considerate of others. Don't try to get ahead by pulling somebody else down. The more progress you make the less you will want to take advantage of others. 6. Guard your health, both morally and physically. The main thing to rely uon in a crisis or an emergency is being in nt condition. 4. Get ar. education. Know the fundamentals, such as arithmetic, spelling, grammar, geography and history. Also get oil the technical education you can. 5i No matter how much natural ability you have, i' most be stimulated by persistent efforts to improve the tnitid and stoic- it with .1 refill information A good memory is of incaculable benefit. Have clean habits of life and select the right companions. You should know men 'if experience, and higher rank than yourself. Nothing saps character like undesirable companions who are only bent on selfindulgence rather than self-improvement. 7. Be ambitious honorably and hack this ambition up with energy, persistence and thooghtfuiucss "T have had to light steadily against laziness all my life,'" he savs. 8. Tie loyal tr. employe) s. friends and country. A repuinlicn for loyalty induces people to give you positions of trust and responsibility. ?!; Cultivate stability. Don't be ?a t olling sr.one. lit. Most important of all: Observe - he Golden Rule. This gets you further in the long run than any other maxim of life.
