EvERBODys1 r BUSINESS ami b "You've Gotta Accentuate the Positive" says the popu- lar song of yesteryear. And it's true! The men and women whq have accomplished :big things in science, art, busi- ness, education, political and military affairs have all been positive thinkers. They had to be! Otherwise risks, mis- takes, obstacles and laziness would have stopped, them. A barber once told me he wanted to open his own shop. But he never got around to it. Fear of failure held him back. Negative thinking is like- wise typical of all the people who are habitual fault-find- ers, indecisive, lazy, defeatist and over -cautious. They act as brakes against the world's progress. Yes, we need more folks who accentuate the positive. And they themselves are hap- pier, more successful in their work and enjoy better rela- tionships with others! An important positive force for national progress is the millions of dollars invested by life insurance companies, on behalf of policyholders, in public works and indus- tries which promote higher standards of living for all. 119 r3.
