THOUGHTS ON BUSINESS
One of the hest aids to effective work is calmnc.-s. The man who lets himself become excited and rulHed over the little annoyances of business forfeits a measure of hi* actual business capacity. The mailer of the situation is always calm. To be irritated and upset is virtually to admit that you are not master of the situation, that you do not Know just what to do next, and that you are experimenting rather than doing what you are reasonably sure of. Such a state of mind is disorganising to ones faculties, and quickly communicates itself to the workers one may be Supposed to direct. It is not always easy to know JiOw to be calm. But this is "certain—a lack of calmness is the fault of the individual rather than of the conditions which up- , set him. To admit this fact is the lirst step towards attaining calmness. The j man who lets himself become rull'led or (nit of humour because of interruptions, press of business matters, crises demanding immediate attention, or because Someone else makes a show of temper, is simply failing to assert his normal mastery over these things.
