Among the men who control the big affairs of the business world we find a true democracy--_they want the man_.

The fact that he appears before them neatly attired, bright of eye and ready of wit will surely count in his favor.
In other words, we should live up to the opportunity in whatever form it presents itself after we have accepted its responsibilities.

To make this perfectly plain _we must live up to the job_! If we are to be superintendent of a coal mine "underneath the ground" we will put on our overalls and jumpers, but if we are to be manager of a grand opera house we will appear in our dress suits.

The thought is obvious, but as we journey along we find many of our fellow mortals neglecting to live in line with what they are doing.
We mention this fact hopeful that we will not fail to seize our opportunities by setting up obstacles whereby we may become _persona non grata_ through lack of discernment.
Opportunity is within ourselves and when we have seized our rightful share, then we may look with pride upon our endeavor and proceed to _laugh and live_!.
