Impudence, or sumthing like it, iz the leading trait in most suckcessful
mens karakters.
All the nice things that hav bin sed in favour ov modesty, fail tew
stand the test when brought into the pull and haul of every-day life.
Bold assurance, while it may often disgust us; will win 9 times out ov
10.
We all ov us praze the modest, but our praze iz only a kind ov pitty,
and pitty will ruin enny man.
Enny man will liv four times az long on abuse, and git phatt, az he will
on pitty.
Thare iz now and then a man who iz modest, but intensely in earnest, and
sutch men sweep everything before them.
The karakter ov the modest man iz a good thing, and a butiful thing tew
frame and hang up in a private apartment, but experience teaches us that
if we wait for our turn in this world, _our turn_ never seems tew come
round.
The cheeky man never enjoys thoze delightful sensations which arize from
having yielded tew others; hiz logick iz that the arly bird gits the
worm, and, regardless ov all delikasy, he goze for the worm.
Thare seems tew be nothing now daze that will warrant sukcess like
cheek, and the more cheek the better, even if you hav az mutch as a
mule.
