Live and Learn

You don't know all that is to be known about your business. The combined knowledge of all the other men in the world who are in the same business, or something- like it, is much greater- than your knowledge, unless you know it all; and the only man who knew it all failed last year and is now digging post holes.

This large sum of knowledge, in the possession of other men who are in the same business as yours, is all somewhere in print, or will be very soon. You could use it to good advantage if you had it; and you can get it.

Some of the men who are in business in this country, have learned that there is much about their business which they didn't know; they learned that it is in pint and that they could get it; and they did get it, and used it, and found pleasure and profit in it. You may find it worth while to think this over.
