Excerpt from Thought and ThriftIN the selection of an agent to do a piece of work, we first wish to know if he be adapted to it. In purchasing even an article for domestic use, some knowledge of its make is at least desirable. So in a book or journal, where useful knowledge is published or important mat ters are discussed, the adaptability and opportunity of the author should be better known than is now usual.Primarily, however, the subject and design of the work might better be developed, at least in outline. In this work the necessity of more thought, union, and business methods is shown and advised for the laboring people of to-day. They must have courage to assert their rights, as well as persistency in maintainn them. Attention and thought, Business ability and system, Courage and perseverance, are, of course, partially innate, but mostly self-acquired. These combined qualities represent the A B C of success in any undertaking.A large and fertile brain, hard work, or a plucky per severance alope, will not feed the family and secure a competence. No one will deny that practical lines must be observed and followed, the experience of others must be largely known and used, and cultivating efforts con tinned, to make a mark or ride the storms of life. The Almighty Power has not placed us here to pick 05 bread from native trees, nor made our lives like a tranquil sea.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
