Make friends with your engineer while you are acting as fireman, and learn from him all you can.

The way to make friends is to be industrious, obliging and always courteous, no matter how tired you are or how badly things seem to go.

The troubles and disappointments of one day should not be brought down to the next.

Let every day be a new beginning in itself.

Don't drink.

Don't swear.

Don't lose your temper and flare out under reproof.

Don't shirk your work and try to do as little us you can.
