large numbers of people have brilliant qualities;
they know a great deal, and are well educated, but they
lack staying power; they have ho "sand." They can't
stand right by a proposition and see it clear to the end,
through thick and thin. They lack that bull dog grit
which hangs on until it triumphs or dies They lack
that sticking ability that never lets go. no matter what
comes. They work well when things go smoothly; they
are good fair-weather sailors, but are terrified by a
storm, paralyzed in a time of emergency. Staying
power is the final test of ability. An ordinary business
man can do a good business when times are good and
money is plentiful, but it takes ability and grit to steer
a business through hard times', through panics, with
short capital. . O. S. Marden.
