ive means for encouraging interest
in any project. For example; if
we are partners or part owners in
a business without any voice of
authority, why worry about its
administration? ,IIly worry about
anything remotely connected with
it? If it succeeds, all fair
and good, if it fails -- we will
move to mor agreeable surround
in g‘£ . As long as we are on the
receiving end, man’s natural ten
dency will demand all that is
coming to him and nroably complain
of the manner in which It is given.
Criticism means mothing, when we
know we cannot be held responsible,
But the-instant authority is given
to mann0e the affairs of that
business, responsi' ility is auto
matically assumed to a conscient
ious degree. The smallest detail
will receive consideration.
Those' who have acted with complete
indifference to progress, will
reverse their atitude and willing
ly deprieve themselves in the
interest of progress.
Pride in achievement fosters un
told power.
Only -the man with forsight will
struggle to as suite resv onsihility
and if he is denied this in one
field; will ^_o where he , can find it
