Every man is entitled to make a darn fool of himself at least once in a lifetime.
The workingmen have been exploited all the way up and down the line by employers, landlords, everybody.
Of course, it is not the employer who pays wages. He only handles the money. It is the product that pays wages and it is the management that arranges the production so that the product may pay the wages.
Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.
It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.
You say I started out with practically nothing, but that isn't correct. We all start with all there is, it's how we use it that makes things possible.
