Thoughts For The Times

Method v. Ikon Rude. Red tape is not method. Many men spend more time over the splitting of hairs than is necessary for the completing of the whole work of which that hair is but an insignificant item. They waste all their energies, they quibble for hours over trifles, they devise schemes, checks and counter-checks that create endless labour, and accomplish nothing. Method should l>e synonymous with elasticity and adaptability, and permit progress. True method gets right into the heai t of the business at once; it cuts through the superfluities, aiul reaches the point ni, which it is aimed. Method is the greatest resource that the modern man has in business, but it can be made so heavy that freedom of motion is lost. It is better to have no method and rightly directed concentration are the foundation stones of success.—Meldrurn’s Magazine.
