REMEMBER THAT THE
“14TH” CELEBRATION BE-
GINS THIS YEAR JUNE 13.
SELFISHNESS IS A
BAR. TO ADVANCE
MENT.
The youth who is stingy with his
services, who is a “minute boy,” who
watches the clock for fear that he will
do a little more work than he is paid
for, who does not study his employer’s
interests and suggest improvements
simply because he is not paid for it,
who is mean and ungenerous to his
fellow employees, who is constantly tell
ing them that they are foolish to do
this or that which does not come
directly in their routine of duties, —
such a youth, no matter how able or
how well educated, will never advance.
His selfishness will forever bar his
promotion. Many ayouth who wonders
why he does not get on faster, would be
surprised if he were told by his em
ployer that it is because of his selfish
ness. Generosity of service, tolorance,
and good will toward others, and ab
sence of jealousy or envy of competitors,
are qualities which every employer ad
mires, and they often have quite as
much to do with advancement as abi
lity.
Many an educated and able man
is working under a manager or super
intendent not nearly so well- qualified
by ability or training as himself for
the position. It is because the manager
is more agreeable to the employer, on
account of his genial, generous and
unselfish dispositon, that he has been
advanced over the head of the selfish,
narrow-souled employee. Employers
like cheerful, sunny, whole-souled na
tures, and they unconsciously favor
persons who make good impressions on
them.—Success.
