46 wages are small and the cost of living high. Form your clear mental vision of
47 what you want, and begin to act with faith and purpose.
48 Do all the work you can do, every day, and do each piece of work in a
49 perfectly successful manner; put the power of success, and the purpose to
50 get rich, into everything that you do.
51 But do not do this merely with the idea of currying favor with your
52 employer, in the hope that he, or those above you, will see your good work
53 and advance you; it is not likely that they will do so.
54 The man who is merely a "good" workman, filling his place to the very best
55 of his ability, and satisfied with that, is valuable to his employer; and it is not
56 to the employer's interest to promote him; he is worth more where he is.
57 To secure advancement, something more is necessary than to be too large for
58 your place.
59 The man who is certain to advance is the one who is too big for his place,
60 and who has a clear concept of what he wants to be; who knows that he can
61 become what he wants to be and who is determined to BE what he wants to
62 be.
63 Do not try to more than fill your present place with a view to pleasing your
64 employer; do it with the idea of advancing yourself. Hold the faith and
65 purpose of increase during work hours, after work hours, and before work
66 hours. Hold it in such a way that every person who comes in contact with
67 you, whether foreman, fellow workman, or social acquaintance, will feel the
68 power of purpose radiating from you; so that every one will get the sense of
69 advancement and increase from you. Men will be attracted to you, and if
70 there is no possibility for advancement in your present job, you will very
71 soon see an opportunity to take another job.
72 There is a Power, which never fails to present opportunity to the Advancing
73 Man who is moving in obedience to law.
