Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to everyone about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will lead.

Be friends with everybody. When you have friends you will know there is somebody who will stand by you. You know the old saying, that if you have a single enemy you will find him everywhere. It doesn't pay to make enemies. Lead the life that will make you kindly and friendly to every one about you, and you will be surprised what a happy life you will live.

Nothing is more fatal to success than taking one's job as a matter of course.
