I AM — ? I am stored-up happiness. I lead the way to peace, power, and plenty. I bring you freedom from anxiety and worry over the living problem. I am a friend alike of the rich and the poor. I am common sense applied to life in all sorts of ways. I am a tower of strength in youth and a staff in old age. I increase hope, confidence, assurance, certainty as to the future. I was one of the chief factors in the winning of the World War. I am the best form of insurance against poverty and failure. I remove the shadow of the poorhouse. I make for health, for efficiency, for the highest possible welfare of the individual. I kill that "rainy day" dread; in fact, I do away with the "rainy day" altogether. I put hope into the heart of man, a light into human eyes that was never there before. I put people in a position to take advantage of all sorts of opportunities for investment, for advancement, to take advantage of chances that, but for me,...

I am that which is back of all achievement, which has led the way to success, to happiness, through the ages. I crossed an unknown ocean with Columbus, who without me would never have discovered America. I was with Washington at Valley Forge; and but for me he would not have succeeded in liberating the American colonies and making them a nation. I went through the Civil War with Lincoln, and guided his pen when he wrote the Emancipation Proclamation that freed millions of human beings from slavery. I was with the English patriots who forced King John to sign that great charter of human rights—the Magna Charta. I was back of those who forced the French Revolution—and of those who signed the American Declaration of Independence. I was with Christ when all his disciples and friends had fled; and I cheered and comforted the martyrs at the stake—all the men and women who gave their lives to maintain the truths He taught. I crossed the ocean with Cyrus W. Field fifty tim...

In thrift and foresight. In thorough preparation for one's life work. In mental alertness. In always being ready to lend a helping hand wherever and whenever needed. In being tactful and a good mixer. In holding the efficiency ideal of oneself and one's capabilities. In downright, constant hard work. In being ready for the opportunity when it came. In courtesy, kindness, and consideration toward everybody. In helping oneself instead of looking to others for boosts, capital, or favors of any sort. In doing one's work a little better than others did theirs. In not being satisfied with anything but one's best, never accepting one's second best or a botched job. In always carrying some reading matter in one's pocket, so that spare time could be utilized while waiting for trains, or for those who were tardy in appointments, by reading for self-improvement. In being cheerful, no matter how dark the outlook. In trying to make good in ev...

I AM____? I am the vital principle of life—the greatest of all success and happiness assets. I am that which gives the plus quality to human beings. I put pep, ginger, vim, into human effort. I am the source of physical and mental power. I give the body vigor and buoyancy, the brain vital energy and originality. I am your best friend—the friend of the high and lowly, the rich and the poor alike—but, be he king or beggar, who violates my laws must pay the penalty. I am often sought in vain by the man who rides in his limousine, but am generally found in the company of the man who walks to his work and takes plenty of exercise. I am the great multiplier of ability, the buttress of initiative, of courage, of self-confidence, the backbone of enthusiasm, without which nothing worthwhile was ever accomplished. I am the greatest constructive power in the life of man. Without me his faith weakens, his ambition sags, his ardor oozes out, his courage faints, his self-confi...
