They Wouldn’t Listen! WANT to tell you a modest story of success. Eight months ago I, too, was ignorant and needy. Just a wage slave. When I rose to speak in direc- tors’ meeting the fellows would crawl under the table or shoot marbles—they wouldn’t listen to me! “Here’s old Whimpersniff,” they would snigger; “let’s go to the movies.” Time after time | wrote out masterpieces of elo- quence, only to be laughed out of the room. I knew I had the keynotes of success at my finger- tips and that I had the potenti- alities for the mastery of men in my indomitable power of will— but they wouldn’t listen to me!
