NN BLAKE || j TOUR WORK DY LAZINESS, procrastination, or J-f by pretending to be stupider than you are, you can got Quite a good deal of your work done for you?for a while If the man above you to quick and competent,' he will frequently get so disgusted with you that he will snatch a Job out of your hands, and do It him self. No competent executive will do that, but you can count all the competent executives of your acquaintance on the Angers of one hand. It will save you ? good deal of trou ble to have the hard Job taken away from you. Ten can devote your time to doing the easy Jobs at your leisure, end In your own way. ion will probably congratulate I yourself on having a boas that is so skillful?so much abler than you?that he can do all the bard work. But the congratulation will be short lived. In about a year's time yon will discover that yon can't do anything but the easy Jobs?^which are the poorly paid ones, because yon never gave your mind any exercise doing the hard ones. All the opportunities for growth and tor progress were In those Jobs that were taken oat ot your bands. Maybe the boss who took 'em away from you didn't need the mental exercise, but the point Is that he got It, and ysu didn't. By letting him take It away you got Just as much out st the game as a ball player would whose captain played his position every time there was a critical stage In the game. No matter what kind of work you have, a time la coming when It is going to become suddenly difficult The Im portance of s certain task will Increase tremendously owing to unexpected cir cumstances. That is the time that Is going to taks your measure. If - you tackle that harder Job and go through with It the chances are that you will do It well. It Is presumed that you have the train ing. If you stand aside and let the man above you step In, you might as well make up your mind that yon are going to work for the same or less wages for the rest of your days. For you have repudiated the chance to grow. Ton have proved yourself a coward. Seme day we may writs abont the boas who deprives, himself of compe tent help by lnffistlng on doing every body's wprk for them. But today we are writing about you. If you are in the habit of standing back and asking for assistance every time an unusually hard Job comas along, get out of It. Ton will become an assistance-taker all your life. As sistance-askers sometimes get assist ance, bnt they never get responsibility or good pay, or respect, or anything else that makes life worth the whllo. (Copyright.)
