The pathway to success is in serving humanity. By no other
means is it possible, and this proof is so plain and patent that
even very simork folk recognize it. Commerce is no longer
exploitation. ft is human service, and no business concern can
hope to prosper which does not meet a human need and add to
human happiness. Integrity, industry, intelligence and interest
in your work are qualities which should be used in the spirit of
service.
