HOW TO WORK 



come, aiding the will. Interest will grow as the horizon 

 widens, insuring vivid presentation. This in turn in- 

 sures vivid recollection; and wide association of ideas 

 follows as the natural sequel of these two. Thus 

 each faculty aids and stimulates all the rest. A har- 

 monious mental coalition is formed and strengthened. 

 The fortunate individual develops ability that he little 

 dreamed of in the beginning. He may even scale the 

 heights of genius when earlier prognostications would 

 have doomed him to a life of mediocrity. 



Considering how volitional power may be developed, 

 and seeing what may be accomplished by stability of 

 will, one may almost feel that every normal mind has 

 such potentialities of genius. Certainly you need not 

 despair because you lack brilliancy of receptiveness. 

 Rather fix your eye all the more doggedly on the distant 

 goal. Resolve that even if nature has made you a 

 tortoise rather than a hare, you will none the less strive 

 to demonstrate unsuspected ability, by winning the 

 race. 



And rest assured there are few greater joys than 

 that which springs from difficulties overcome. To have 

 placed a single day of efficient work behind you will 

 tend to give you the warm glow of well-being; to have 

 carried to accomplishment a task requiring months or 

 years of application will insure you satisfaction inesti- 

 mable. Past labors are proverbially pleasant.
