| I BELIEVE
in MYSELF, for I have learned that self-confidence enables me to face life with strength,
courage, and patience.

I BELIEVE in
MY DAILY WORK, for I have found that my doing it contributes not only to my personal well
being, but also to the well being of my fellow-men.

I BELIEVE in MY CAPACITY FOR DEVELOPMENT, for I
have had ample proof that any man can train himself to render a larger and a more
exceptional service the older he becomes.

I BELIEVE in PURPOSEFUL STUDY AS A MEANS OF
MENTAL GROWTH, for all my life I have seen usefulness, advancement, and prosperity come as
a matter of course to men with their perspective widened and their reasoning ability
developed by means of concentrated study.

I BELIEVE in OPPORTUNITY, for I can name many
men who have achieved success in business because of their unflagging desire for success,
their earnest efforts to attain it, and their worthiness of it.

I BELIEVE, therefore, IN MAKING THE MOST OUT OF
MYSELF, day by day, week by week, month by month, for I know I shall thus gain the most
enduring of all rewards not only increased earning-power, but peace and
satisfaction of mind and spirit. |
