Business Marketing Advertising

I had a call the other day from a person who used to travel for the same company that I did years ago. He was broke and discouraged. He had been fired from six jobs in two years. His nerve had gone. His gray hairs were turning to silver, and it was becoming harder and harder to get even a chance. He had come to see me, an old friend, for a loan of five dollars to stave off starvation.
In his prime this man had been a good salesman. He had made good money. He had loads of friends. But he had one great fault ? he hadn’t the driving power to make himself do the things he didn’t want to do.
A young man, fighting his way to success, working and studying and saving, may not have a particularly happy life. To the salesman who believes in having a good time he may seem terribly foolish.
But hard as his life of real work may be, it is a thousand times more pleasant compared with the life my old friend was eking out, begging for a chance, humbly grateful for that which he would have scorned in his better days.
The beginning of August brings with it the urge to “take things easy” till fall. Do you have the will power to make yourself work in spite of that urge?
You can work now, when you are strong and work is easy, or you can just “get by” and do your hard work in the years to come when the body is frail and work comes a thousand times harder.
