He watched the clock.
He was always grumbling.
He was always behindhand.
He asked too many questions.
His stock excuse was “I forgot.”
He wasn’t ready for the next step.
He did not put his heart into his work.
He learned nothing from his blunders.
He was content to be a second-rate man.
He chose his friends among his inferiors.
He ruined his ability by half-doing things.
He never dared to act on his own judgment.
He did not think it worth while to learn how.
He thought it clever to use coarse and profane language.
He imitated the habits of men who could stand more than he could.
He did not learn that the best part of his salary was not in his
pay envelop.--_Success._
