Learn that word by heart. Get to saying it in your sleep.
Of all the joys on this terrestrial sphere, there is none quite so soul-satisfying and so one-hundred-per-centish as MAKING GOOD.
Do your work a little better than any one else could do it. That is the margin of success.
Making good needs no foot-notes.
Failure requires forty-two words.
