Permit No. 59 IF WE ONLY TRY "It will never work." This phrase is heard far too frequently in industry and everyday life ? or how about "I just can't do it," that's a good one also isn't it? Aren't we all guilty of these two excuses? Where would we be today if all the "It will never works" and "I just can't do its" had prevailed? Not nearly in the prestigious position we hold, but still back at the starting blocks complaining that "It will never work." Back around the turn of the century someone was quoted to have said that everything that could possibly be invented had been invented. What would have happened if everyone would have listened to him? How do we know it won't work, or how do we know we just can't do it? until we try. We have got to try and keep trying until we have either solved the problem or exhausted every known possibility and in the case of the latter, then it's time to think up some new solutions and proceed in that direction. We do not succeed by resting on our laurels, but by motivating ourselves and our compatriots to reach for the higher goals. Everything that we as pire to is there for the taking if we ' will only give it an honest try. The next time you are asked to do something, before you automatically take the negative approach and come back with "I just can't do it" or "It will never work," give it an honest try. You'll be amazed at how many times it will work and you can do it. * * * "The man who occupied this room," said the landlady, "was an inventor. He invented an explosive." "I suppose those spots on the wall are the explosive," said the roomer. "No," said the landlady. "They are the inventor."
