I always watch the other fellow to see when he weakens. At that point I try to put forth my best efforts. If he slumps and I succeed, he may lose his nerve. All through life a man must be ready to grasp the opportunity.”
“And that,” cried Grafter, as if his eyes had suddenly been opened, “is the secret of his success!”
