A broad, liberal-minded man is beloved by all, but a narrow, small minded man is an object of dislike. You do not have to squander money to be considered broad minded, or be extravagant in your life and home. A man of that sort is drawing upon his future to use up in the present, and there is no greater folly than this. In all your dealings with your fellow men, you must exhibit that trait of open mindedness that will draw men to you. If you stick at trifles and refuse to concede a point to another he will avoid you in future dealings. “Grab” is a good game, you say. Very well, “you shall not grab anything belonging to me,” and everybody says the same thing. So it will come to pass by and by that there will be nothing for you to grab. Generosity within a man’s means is always a noble trait, and meets with the approbation of every man. But you must be wise in your generosity and not run into vain glory, or phariseeism—which is fancying that you are better than other men because you squander money. Others don’t think so, they call you “fool” behind your back. A close-fisted, penurious man, a driver of hard bargains, is always a small man, and everybody is on the look out for a chance to beat him at his own game, and they generally do. There are small men who will sell you large eggs by the pound, and small ones by the dozen. People find that out and go somewhere else to do their marketing. In every hill of potatoes, there are some small ones—they did not grow with the others, and they are also cheaper than the others. In the human hill, the small men do not grow like the large ones, hence they are cheaper. Do not be a small potato, be a large one and sell for more. DON’T WASTE TIME Time is not a thing to be wasted, for it is given you for the purpose of working out your destiny. Time does not belong to you, it is a loan and sometime, perhaps before you are ready, the loan will be called in. It is said that “Time is Money.” This is not to be understood as meaning dollars and cents, but as something valuable to you. A drink of water is not cash money, but it is valuable to a thirsty man. The proverb “Waste not, want not,” is as applicable to time as it is to bread and meat, clothing or money. Yet we are wasting time when we stick at trifles, embark in trivial things, or are connected with something not worth the trouble of exploiting. A man who wastes his time soon acquires a reputation for being good for little else than small things, a trifling character, and his wages or salary is gauged upon his dawdling peculiarities. Every man is considered as large as the things he does and no larger, and the time he steals—yes, steals from himself, he will try to steal from others. It is not necessary to keep in constant motion, or always at work to save time, but idle things, trifling matters, idle words and silly things are a mere waste of time.
