- DEPEND UPON YOUR OWN PERSONAL EXERTIONS.
- The eye of the employer is often worth more than the hands of a dozen employees. In the nature of things, an agent cannot be so faithful to his employer as to himself. Many who are employers will call to mind instances where the best employees have aoverlooed important points which could not have escaped their own observation as a proprietor. No man has a right to expect to succeed in life unless he understands his business, and nobody can understand his business thoroughly unless he learns it by personal application and experience. A man may be a manufacturer: he has got to learn the many details of his business personally; he will learn something every day, and he will find he will make mistakes nearly every day. And these very mistakes are helps to him in the way of experiences if he but heeds them. He will be like the Yankee tin-peddler, who, having been cheated as to qulity in the purchase of his merchandise, said: "All right, there's a little information to be gained every day; I will never be cheated in that way agian." Thus a man buys his experience, and it is the best kind if not purchased at too dear a rate.
