QIICCESS or failure is not wholly a matter of luck. Admittedly, either may come with uncanny consistency for no apparent reason, but, in nearly every case, if a searching investigation be made, the cause may be traced to some strength or weakness, some talent or failing, some wise or foolish policy on the part of the Individual or concern in question.
It is platitudinous to say that success is not found by sitting down and waiting, but less frequently is the precept practised than preached. The successful manufacturer sets out to look for markets for his products. The prosperous haulier gets up and visits prospective employers of transport. The driver, the mechanic, or the labourer who is successful in his own sphere, has not gained that position by sitting idly at home.
In road transport there is as much enterprise and initiative displayed as in any other industry, but competition is keen and money parsi moniously expended. Let us not relax, but make still greater efforts to achieve success for ourselves and our country.
