Prior planning prevents poor performance. Success tip: Start at the bottom and wake up! All men want to succeed. Some want to succeed so badly that they are willing to work for it. Remember there is a big difference between free speech and cheap talk. Only those who have the patience to do simple things perfectly acquire the skill to do difficult things easily. The idea is to make a little money first then to make a little money last. A closed mind is like a closed room. It can become awfully stuffy! Good luck is with the man who doesn't include it in his plan. Did you ever stop to think that the formula for success is the same as for a nervous breakdown? There are few, if any, jobs in which ability alone is sufficient. Needed also are loyalty, sincerity, enthusiasm and cooperation. Most people don't recognize opportunity when it comes along because it is disguised as work! Look before or you'll find yourself behind. Keep trying. It's often the last thing that opens the door. Weak people wait for opportunities. Strong people make them. A good supervisor, they say, is someone who can step on your toes without messing up your shine. Teachers open the doors. You enter by yourself. Being ignorant is not so much a shame as being unwilling to learn. Each time you listen you give someone else a chance to be heard.
