Work at it, if necessary, early and late, in season and out of season, not leaving a stone unturned, and never deferring for a single hour that which can be done just as well now. The old proverb is full of truth and meaning, “Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.” Many a man acquires a fortune by doing his business thoroughly, while his neighbor remains poor for life, because he only half does it. Ambition, energy, industry, perseverance, are indispensable requisites for success in business.

Young men starting in life should avoid running into debt. That’s a given. There is scarcely anything else that drags a person down like debt. It is a slavish position to get ill, yet we find many a young man, hardly out of his “teens,” running in debt (and yes, this has been going on for centuries as long as men and history could remember). He meets a chum and says, “Look at this: I have got trusted for a new suit of clothes.” He seems to look upon the clothes as so much given to him; well, it frequently is so, but, if he succeeds in paying and then gets trusted again, he is adopting a habit which will keep him in poverty through life. Debt robs a man of his self-respect, and makes him almost despise himself.

The safest plan, and the one most sure of success for the young man starting in life, is to select the vocation which is most congenial to his tastes. Parents and guardians are often quite too negligent in regard to this. It is very common for a father to say, for example: “I have five boys. I will make Billy a clergyman; John a lawyer; Tom a doctor, and Dick a farmer.” He then goes into town and looks about to see what he will do with Sammy. He returns home and says “Sammy, I see watch-making is a nice genteel business; I think I will make you a goldsmith.” He does this, regardless of Sam’s natural inclinations, or genius.

There are brand gurus who say, "We can envisage a day when the marketing notion itself will become obsolete, to be replaced by a new concept called "branding." However, in the ever-changing world of branding, even the most basic concepts like buying and selling are altering in value and meaning. Today's tagline replaces the ancient adage "nothing happens unless someone sells something."

Our first experience with bubble tea was in Hong Kong, and it was surprising. Knowing what to expect in the teas this time, we visited the new location of Queen Tea at The Avenues in West Cobb. We ordered up a cold brown sugar tea with tapioca bubbles, and a sampling of some of the Taiwanese street food. We also met owner Joleen Dai, who was at work in the new, second location of this local shop. We liked what we found, and plan return visits soon.
