Ilonesty ilnd Dependilhility

It has often been said by philosophers that the fundamentals of human success are attainable by the man lvith a mind to think and a will to do.

Those fundamentals are honesty, dependability, ambi' tion, vision, courage, enthusiasm, energy, punch, and sticktoitiveness. And it has been as frequently said that "the last shall be first and the first shall be last." For, beyond any doubt the one prima asset that a man MUST possess in the race for human success, and upon which he must build ALL his superstructure with the other virtures mentioned-is HONtrSTY.

Lacking that first fundamental, the brighter, the smarter, the more ambitious, the more energetic, the more enthusiastic, the more punchful, the more courageous he is, the more staying qualities he has, the more dangerous a member of society he may be. There is no real place in the eternal scheme of things for the man who is not morally, mentally, physically, and eternally HONEST.
