A DAILY MESSAGE
EXPECT THE BEST * There is one sure way of being cheated in this life—and that is to expect to be cheated. There is no occasion for a trustful man to go about with blinkers on; but even if he does, he’ll lose less than the untrustful man without them. The fellow who is always on guard against .short-weight and over-charges will get less and pay more for ifTiii the long run, however, shrewdly he checks up.
The man who is certain that he is being robbed by his workmen communicates his expectation—and will not be disappointed., The fellow who thinks everybody is trying to get the better of him will for all his watchfulness get the worst of it. The man who is blighted with chronic mistrust of his felloW-man will be robbed of both peace and pence. The thing he (fears will come upon him—inevitably. Men will cheat him because he expects to be cheated. He, like every other human being, is a magnet, drawing to himself things and conditions like his thoughts. Don’t befoul the springs otf good faith in the hearts of your fellows Believe that good f.aith is there, and thereby set it flowing. —M. PRESTON STANLEY.
