Decide to become a professional at your business. You see, we can either compete or create. If we compete with all the other people in our line of work we must be willing to accept the same rewards. If that's what we want, fine! But if we want to become professionals at what we do, then we must create and when we begin to do this there's no limit to that which we can achieve.

We hear a lot these days about a word called "security." Everyone wants security but not one in ten can tell you what it is. Most people will tell you that security rests within a job. This is impossible, there's no such thing as a job that represents security. Anyone with a job can lose it for any one of a thousand reasons at any time. Now, a job cannot represent security, there's only one place on earth you can find security and if it isn't there, you can't find it anywhere. It's inside of a person, never outside.

If a man has security inside where it belongs, his wife and children can feel it when he sits down to eat with him and they're warmed by it. If a man has security inside where it belongs you can see it walking down the street and you can feel it when he enters the room. That's security! and you can't take it away from him. You can take away his money his home everything but a wife who's willing to start all over and most of them are! and drop him anywhere in the country, go back in a year and he'll be doing just as well as when you found hum the first time. You can't keep a good man down no matter what you do to him, like cream on milk, you can shake it all day but just set it down for a while and it'll bounce right to the top again. This man or this woman, has security where it belongs and you know where it comes from? It comes from doing what we do for a living surpassingly well. It comes from becoming a pro in a world of amateurs.

Becoming a pro isn't difficult, it comes from knowing what to do with time, it comes from knowledge planning and working!
