- Breaking The Success Barrier
- What Do You Want?
Fortunately, success is within the grasp of everyone. God has blessed every human being on earth with a certain measure of ability. And that talent is sufficient, if intelligently developed and utilized, to guarantee success in accordance with one's ability, training and developed skill - in the words of the Biblical parable: "to every man according to his several ability."

In the days of myths in ancient Greece, men talked at great length, and with superstitious fear, of the Godesses of Fate - three sisters to whom the Gods had given the power to determine the lives and fortunes of all human beings on earth, of every age, and in every generation.
- Start Where You Are
Today there are altogether too many people who expect success and happiness for a small price or nothing at all. So many seem to think that the "good life" is every American's birthright. So few seem to understand that God meant the good things of life to be earned by the "sweat of your brow." Most people today lack a deep-down desire to achieve a worthwhile life by their own efforts, through the full development and use of their own abilities.

There are, however, some people who cannot, unfortunately, rid themselves of a deep-rooted aversion to their present jobs, often despite the attainment of a fair measure of success.

Psychologists tell us that, on the average, people generate less than ten percent of their potential powers. Dr. Nathan S. Kline, director of research at a New York State Hospital, says: "Most humans are ambling along at probably no more than five or six percent of their possible efficiency." And J. C. Penny, the founder of the great chain of retail stores that bears his name, has said: "In my business life I have been privileged to know many men of outstanding ability, and my conviction is that in everyone of us there are untold possibilities for increase of ability and skill that will lead to opportunities."
- You At Your Best

And then there was Aubrey Steen McLeod, whose life story was related in an editorial by David Lawrence in U. S. News and World Report of April 25, 1960. Mr. McLeod died of a heart attack on April 9, 1960. His life exemplified courage at its very best. Aubrey McLeod enlisted in World War I, and was wounded in an enemy air raid in the fall of 1917. They amputated both his legs near the hips in order to save his life. In a letter to his parents he told about his experience, and finished with these heroic words: "If everything progresses favorably, I shall be home about November 1. Now please don't worry about me, for I am getting along fine. I shall be given artificial legs, and will be able to get along O.K."

In an article that appeared in The Saturday Evening Post of August 8, 1959, the distinguished military analyst, Hanson W. Baldwin, wrote: "From September 1948 to November 1958 the rejection rate for draftees for physical, mental or moral reasons was 38.3 percent. In the same period there was a further rejection by the armed forces of 6.6 percent of those passed by their draft boards. And even so, those who are accepted for military service are a disappointing lot. In the words of Dr. G. Ott Romney, deputy executive director of the President's Council on Youth Fitness, 'Sedentarianism, push-buttonitis and in-doorism have taken a heavy toll of fitness.' "

This physical fact of life I know to be true from my own bitter experience during the grueling days of the terrible depression in the early 1930's. I had arrived in Toledo, Ohio, in September of 1931 - shortly after the four leading banks in the city had been forced to discontinue business - to be general agent for northwestern Ohio for The New England Mutual Life Insurance Company of Boston.

Writing from Monticello to Colonel Yancey, after his retirement from the Presidency in 1816, Thomas Jefferson made this significant statement: "If a nation expects to be ignorant and free in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be."
- Learning-A Continuous Process
Education is, however, a continuing process. A college diploma is not the finish - it is not enough. Constant and rapid change, along with increasing competition for advancement in every field of endeavor, makes it imperative that you keep in touch with new ideas and developments, and constantly improve both your knowledge and your skills.
- Never Too Old To Learn
At the age of fifty, Theodore Roosevelt, one of our truly great Presidents, made this sage comment: "Now I am fifty years old, and if I had stopped learning, if I felt now that I had stopped learning, had stopped trying to better myself, I feel that my usefulness to the community would be pretty nearly at an end."
