are making me go. Things come so easily here that I am constantly on the dodge to keep from owning the whole state of Texas. It's the easiest game I ever played. No odds what kind of a hand one has, if he bets stiff enough he'll win." There are thousands of failures simply because they did not have the genius to see an opportunity, but there are more failures because when opportunity was everywhere they lacked the thought force necessary to push it into form. This is not just the same as the law of "mind your own business." There are many subtle breaks in this chain of doing and every break means failure. Living in one world and working there with our hands, while all our thoughts and wits are wandering in another, divides our forces. No one can serve two masters. Success demands that our mind shall be in all things we do, and all things in our mind, until we have established a long line of things which we can do automatically. When concentration is complete one can do a half dozen things at one time and direct as many more. The concentrated mind does not think in concepts, it thinks in ultimates, it does not think in pennies and dollars, it thinks in millions, it does not think in cities and states, it thinks in continents; nor does it think in minutes, hours, or days but in eternities. Here are some of the well-known failure cases we meet, and who demand help and attention. One day I went to a restaurant and after seating myself said to the waitress, "Bring me a pot of tea." Instead of bringing me a pot of tea, as I had ordered, she brought a cup of tea. She had not heard what I said. When she brought the cup of tea it was overflowing with tea which spilled over the saucer and the table. The waitress set the cup down and went away. I did not know where she had gone. She was not in sight nor finishing my order that was sure. It is written "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" and this waitress was not doing with her might what her hands found to do. She was thoroughly reckless, careless and regardless of the thing that she was in the restaurant to do. I have watched the people in the work world. I went into a jewelry store and the girl at the counter was humming some ragtime song. Her mind was on the ragtime and she kept on singing and I hardly dared to interrupt her. When I asked for a bracelet she said, "Let me see." She proceeded to drag out some jewelry in a careless way from the shelves and continued to hum her interrupted song. Not see | ||
