The Conscientious Worker

You will gain a great deal if you will resolve
that in all work you perform, whether sweeping
a floor, laying off a furrow, building a
house, drawing a plan, or studying a lesson,
you are going to be perfectly conscientious.
If you choose those three lines on which to rest
your lives,—truthfulness, honesty, and conscientious
performance of duty,—your future
success is assured.
