nate the useless. Energize your
movements. Move with enthusiasm. Put elastic cheer into your step.
Wear rubber heels of quiet manners. Simplify your work. Keep it
straight, after a little it will keep you straight. Don't fall over
your work, nor step on it, or sit on it. Simplify by stopping the
waste of words, waste of material, waste of time. Jollify your work.
Put fun into each day's round of toil. Be original in plans and ideas.

=CULTIVATE YOUR EFFICIENCY=: To all the above add mental energy.
Develop insight, grow new business brain cells. Do not overload your
stomach with food, nor your body with clothing. Study directness.
Master application. At Niagara Falls I saw two giant dynamos
generating twenty-five thousand horse power, their efficiency was kept
in perfect balance by a little automatic nickle gate. Your efficiency
is kept in balance by little, invisible and automatic thought neurons.
A clear brain is the test of efficiency. Plans, orders, system,
application, give efficiency. Efficiency is positive thinking.
Freedom-thinking, above fear-thinking. Get out and keep out of
negative thinking. Just as soon as you drop negative thinking your
mind will begin to rise to a new brilliance of expression. One big
element in efficiency is silence. It is the strongest thing to be
silent. Noise is emptiness, weakness, inefficiency. Silence is the law
of greatness; noise the breaking of the law.

=DEVELOP YOUR POWER TO REST:= That person is wise who knows how
to rest. It is a powerful thing to rest successfully. Over-fed
persons, or animals, do not rest, they are stupefied. Rest is filling
your capacities with energy. "Sleep knits up the ravelled sleeve of
care," or it should. Rest is relaxing the nerves and muscles. Rest is
reconstructing broken down cellular tissues. Rest is restringing the
harp of the senses, retuning the rhythmic harmonies of the spirit.
Rest lets down the tension. When you sit down, let what you sit on
hold you. When you lie down, do not try to hold yourself on the bed.
Rest is the opposite of labor. Rest is recreation. Rest with sleep
is a divine restorative. When you cannot rest, or sleep, you are
expending energy without production. Try this little code for rest
and sleep: "My mind is empty, my soul is at rest." Repeat it with your
eyes closed and your body relaxed. Say it just as you would imagine
the swing of the pendulum of an old fashion hall clock. I never knew
it to fail of inducing sleep.
