Anyone can formulate plans, but it is
only exceptional men that are able to carry their plans to fulfilment.
Some men there are in whom an unimposing
appearance a coupled with great strength of mind and action, even like the little axle-pin
that keeps the wheels of the great chariot in place. Eppearances deceive. Do not judge men
by the unimpressiveness of their external form.
Plan with a clear brain, and when once you
have decided and launched on an undertaking, be firm and unmoved by difficulties, and
avoid dilatoriness in action.
Other things are of no avail, if one does
not aim at efficiency in action. He who does not cultivate this cannot make his mark in
the world. |
