BRAIN AND MUSCLE.

Men who use their muscles imagine that men who use their brains are strangers to hard work. Never was there a greater mistake. Every successful merchant does more real hard work in the first ten years of his business career than a farmer or blacksmith ever dreamed of. Make up your mind to work early and late, if necessary, that you may thoroughly master every detail of the business upon which you propose to enter. The habit of persistent, rapid work once formed, you have gained a momentum that will carry you very successfully through many a pinch in business where a less persistent worker would find it vastly easier to lie down and fail.
