Should Have an Aim

An aim, a definite goal is essential to the progress of any
individual. It should be made with care and in keeping with one's
personality, talents, training, education, environment and experience,
and having been made should be adhered to with the determination which
does not permit little things to interfere with it.

Eliminating Non-Essentials

The big problem of individual success is the problem of eliminating
non-essentials--of "hewing to the line, letting the chips fall where
they may." Most of the things that steal your time, strength, money and
energy are nothing but chips. If you pay too much attention to them you
will never hew out anything worth while.

No Vain Regrets

If you are a Thoracic don't regret the fact that you are not a
one-decision-a-year man, but try to make fewer and better decisions.

Your quickness, if called into counsel, will enable you to see from what
instincts your mistakes habitually arise and the direction in which most
of them have pointed. And you will see this with so much greater
dispatch than the average person that you will lose little time.

You should begin today to analyze your most common errors in judgment
that you may guard against their recurrence.

Always Slightly Thrilled

Even when apparently composed the Thoracic is always a wee bit
thrilled. Everything he sees, hears, touches, tastes or smells gives him
such keen sensations that he lives momentarily in some kind of
adventure.

He languishes in an unchanging environment and finds monotony almost
unbearable.

Lights and Shadows

"Never two minutes the same" fitly describes this type. He passes
rapidly from one vivid sensation to another and expresses each one so
completely that he is soon ready for the next. He has fewer complexes
than any other type because he does not inhibit as much.

The Uncorked Bottle

The "lid" is always off of the Thoracic. This being the case he
suffers little from "mental congestion" though he sometimes pays a high
price for his self-expression.

Everybody is Interesting

Most of us are much more interesting than the world suspects. But the
world is not made up of mind readers. We keep our most interesting
thoughts and the most interesting side of ourselves hidden away. Even
your dearest friends are seldom given a peep into the actual You. And
this despite the fact that we all recognize this as a deficiency in
others.

We bottle up
