??tony~iW""7 BROWNS pv~x. I .JOURNALJ :One ofthe most cruet? underhanded acts of haired that 1 have known of was brought to my attention two months ago. The reason that 1 have paused so long in my response is that my initial reaction was so intensely negative. The emergency emotions - rage and hatred - gradually gave way to a limited objectivity, then, and now, to an ability to understand another person's evil in a context outside of my own fragile human ego. But that process took a lot of "whys." Why, for example, would a man go out of his way, not to disagree, but to destroy another because of a differing philosophy? Because he perceives a philosophical difference between us - and there is - he resorted to becoming an agent in a NAGHW VIEW An important factor is, "Have Confidence In Yourself." Have confidence your ability to do t things. Believe that you can Hh^ perform all the tasks planned for you to do, and ^HMS^ some that are not for you, for it is in the doing of the extra work that the great reward lies. Go after your aim in life with a will and keep after it, for as you do this, you shall be a success, but, even though you do work hard and do it day by day, you shall not succeed unless you are confident, for without being so, success is not to be had. Failure and lack of confidence go hand in hand. Con fidence may be compared to theory and lack of it to practice. A person does a thing over and over again for ten years and does not advance in his position, but the person who does this and discovers short-cuts and increases his output and conserves his energy for other work, is the person who wins. The person who applies both theory and practice is a success. Self-confidence brings progress, and the right kind of quiet self-confidence is an asset to everyone. People believe in a person who has the confidence to go ahead and do things, and constant progress is the key to real living. It is often heard and stated that nerve and bluff are a large part of business; but when we analyze actual facts we know that'nerve'atid bluff won't carry anyone alonj ' permanently becatfsitf; n^rve^lW Ullirf trrtrw dlfferen from (iinlfidenbe. X faefsot/who apprd&l'Mp?1 a task in i confident attitude is the one who knows he has what i takes to do that task. The right kind of faith and con fidence in himself breeds confidence in others. Some people are hindered from doing their bes because they somehow believe that another can do better Having the right attitude means to not envy the jus rewards that come to the outstanding worker, "Whc Knows? Maybe you can achieve still greater success if yoi work just as hard and intelligently as does the person whc gets the rewards." /"? CI J ??1 - ? -1 ' \~unnaencc, never anuws a person 10 see anyimnj ahead but success, and the world is propelled by peoph who cling to their own possibilities in the face of opposi tion. A demonstrated fact is, the person who works quiet ly day after day and knows he knows what he is doinj and why he is doing it - gets a feeling of confidence whicl cannot be taken from him.

Gautama 44 Buddha said, "You are what you think, having become rr i what you thought." One identifies with his beliefs and becomes all that he thinks. And one evil thought leads to t> ; another which leads to another. w Sir Isaac Newton made another law: "For every action, there must be an equal and opposite reaction." Therefore, the more evil that one becomes, the more the a actor becomes a reactor. ti The Golden Rule ("Do unto others as you would have them do unto you") is simply another version of a scien- p Black Bank Finances $1 Million Buil. The Organization of African Unity (OAU) has purchased a $1,000,000 brownstone to serve as its head- < quarters in New York City with financing arranged by i Freedom National Bank in Harlem,,the most profitable [ Black bank in the nation and the only black-owned com- / mercial bank in New York State. 1 Officials from the bank, the 50-member nation OAU, ? and Harlem's political leadership have hailed the transaction as a landmark event on the road to wider and more j effective commercial cooperation between Africa and the Black American Community. ] TL? U. ? 1 i uuugiii iu dc me largest real estate transaction ever conducted between American Blacks and Africans, it began when OAU's legal representative Robert Van Lierop approached Freedom National Bank. Subsequent negotiations produced an agreement in which the OAU placed $475,000 in Freedom and the bank approved a $500,000 5-year payout schedule. In announcing the transaction, Ambassador - Youssoufou stated he was "impressed by the rapidity, politeness and personal attention which characterized the relationship between ourselves and Freedom National [ Bank." , "The aggressiveness of the management is impressive I and I am happy that an event of this magnitude took I?ptafrin-a'Haitenvbank, b i ship between Africa and brbtlfr?' in~* t Harlem," he concluded. "We feel that this event represents a small but positive step towards forming the political and economic linkage t between Black America and Black Africa that will serve to further both our interests." Mr. Sharnia "Tab" t Buford, the President of Freedom National Bank, said: ) "The opportunity to serve the OAU, as a whole, as well i as each of its member nations is one that we embrace with > a great deal of enthusiasm. Freedom stands ready to assist the OAU and we hope that we can serve as a vehicle I for establishing more meaningful ties between Black ? business in the United States and the nations of the - OAU." Harlem Congressman Charles B.
