The secret of getting successful work out of your trained men lies in one nutshell—in the clearness of the instructions they receive.

To get hold of your boys you must be their friend.

"Softly, softly, catchee monkey," is the West African rendering of a very valuable precept. An awful lot of men fail through lack of patient persistence.

Varied are the ideas of what constitutes "success," e.g. money, position, power, achievement, honours, and the like. But these are not open to every man-nor do they bring what is real success, namely, happiness.
