Groundwork
When you cut a melon, your friends will come with eager mouths and sit under your shade tree and help you eat it. Few of these friends would respond to your call for help when you were working in the hot sun raising that melon.
Many people accept the dividends and benefits of friendship but give you a cold shoulder when called upon for assessments of friendship.
The world is full of young men whose objective is snaps. They are looking all the time for what they can get and not what they can give.
To forge ahead, you must give value received. You can't draw out all the time.
The employe must do what he is paid to do and then some, for it is this then some or plus that gets your salary raised.
The employer and employe must realize that each must make profit. It is because there are so many ingrates and so many four flushers that so few succeed.
This book will be welcomed by those who are square, ambitious and patient. It is not theory. It is not preaching. These chapters will be old friends to you, and you may read a few minutes or a few hours. You may read and re-read as often as you wish, for you will always find some new truth impressed on you every time you read.
Keep this book, carry it with you, and you will be benefitted.
