Men and women should be systematic in their business. A person who does business by rule, having a time and place for
everything, doing his work promptly, will accomplish twice as much and with half the trouble of him who
does it carelessly and slipshod. By introducing system into all your transactions, doing one thing at a time,
always meeting appointments with punctuality, you find leisure for pastime and recreation; whereas the man
who only half does one thing, and then turns to something else, and half does that, will have his business at
loose ends, and will never know when his day's work is done, for it never will be done. Of course, there is a
limit to all these rules. We must try to preserve the happy medium, for there is such a thing as being too
systematic.
There are men and women, for instance, who put away things so carefully that they can never find
them again. It is too much like the "red tape" formality at Washington, and Mr. Dickens' "Circumlocution
Office,"--all theory and no result. - P.T. Barnum
