When he does not try to make his work a little better each day. When he becomes so absorbed in his work that he cannot see that life is greater than work. When he lets a day go by without making some one happier and more comfortable. When he tries to rule others by bullying instead of by example. When he values wealth above health, self-respect and the good opinion of others. When he is so burdened by his business that he finds no time for rest and recreation. When he loves his own plans and interests more than humanity. When his friends like him for what he has more than for what is. When he knows that he is in the wrong, but is afraid to admit it. When he envies others because they have more ability, talent or wealth than he has. When he does not care what happens to his neighbor or to his friend so long as he is prosperous. When he is so busy doing that he has no time for smiles and cheering words. We Appreciate— We find it hard to account for some of the new business that comes to us from day to day.
