Business Journal . he whole life grows, improves. Everything looks up whenwe struggle up ; everything looks down when we are goingdown hill. Aspiration lifts the life; groveling lowers it. It is never a merely optional question whether you do athing right or not, whether you half do it or do it to a finish,there is an eternal principle involved, which, if you violate,you pay the penalty in deterioration, in the lowering of yourstandards, in the loss of self-respect, in diminished efficiency,a dwarfed nature, a stunted, unsuccessful life. Dont think you will never hear from a half-finished job,a neglected or hutched piece of work. It will never die. Itwill bob up farther along in your career at the most unex-pected moments, in the most embarrassing situations. Itwill be sure to mortify you when you least expect it. LikeBanquos ghost, it will arise at the most unexpected mo-ments to mar your happiness. Orison Sweti Maiden in Busy Mans Magazine.
