The Young Man In Business

Now, as every young man naturally desires to make a business success, it is plain that something is lacking; either the opportunities, or the capabilities in the young men themselves. No one conversant with the business life of any of our large cities can, it seems to me, even for a single moment, doubt the existence of good chances for young men.

If any young man wishes a set of rules even more concise, here it is:
Get into a business you like.
Devote yourself to it.
Be honest in everything.
Be cautious. Think carefully about a thing before you act.
Sleep eight hours every night.
Do everything that means keeping in good health.
Don't worry. Worry kills more men than work does.
Avoid liquors of all kinds.
If you must smoke, smoke moderately.
Shun discussion on two points,—religion and politics.
Marry a good woman, and have your own home.
