By George Matthew Adams (1913)

Real Strength does not show its full force on all occasions. Often it only pokes its head out. Real Strength has Reserve power. The strongest part of great buildings is under ground — in rock and steel and mortar — where eyes cannot see.

Success Power is in the Reserve.

Reserve is the law of Nature and of Life. When the Reserve is gone, all is gone. The greatest battles are won with Reserve forces; Banks are kept steady and safe by their Reserve funds; Business goes on, healthy and vigorous because of its Reserve capital. The character of a man or woman — YOUR character — is kept from being swept easily into oblivion, through the safe Reserve that you lock securely away in the shape of stores of Honor, Courage, Faith, Backbone — all ready for emergencies.

Success Power is in the Reserve.

Reserve is what keeps the Smile from fading into the frown. Reserve is what makes possible the next trial after the last one failed. Success Power is in the Reserve. The Human failure begins by being too proud to work for six dollars a week. The Human Success is ANXIOUS and glad of the chance to work for three dollars a week at the start, tor Reserve is also the knowledge of sure future — concealed from the general view, yet known to the individual.

Success Power is in the Reserve.

Do every detail of your day’s work as though it was to be viewed by a Master eye. Make every job a great job. Put Dignity and Joy and Enthusiasm into everything attempted, forgetting not for the shortest minute that —

Success Power is in the Reserve.
