Advice.

YOUNG man, remember that the men who can be easily spared are not the ones sought after when responsible positions are to be filled. Would you like to gauge your own fitness for a position of prominence? Would you like to know the probabilities of your getting such position? Inquire within. What are you doing to make yourself valuable in the position you now occupy? If you are doing with your might what your hands find to do, the chances are ten to one you will become so valuable to that position that you cannot easily be spared from it; and then, singular to relate, will be the very time when you will be sought out for promotion to a better place. Be content to grade among the men who can easily be spared, and you may rest assured that nothing will "spare" you so certainly and easily as promotion.
