“There is today an unwholesome and erroneous tendency to believe that less work and more wages make for real, happiness,” said Mr J. R. Fairbairn, chairman of directors of the National Building Society, at the annual meeting in Dunedin. “Nothing is further from the truth. Life hands out rewards in exact proportion to the real efforts made towards a worthy objective. You cannot get more out of life than you put into it. This is a fundamental law, and it is always well to remember that there are no short cuts to success.”
