Do the results look like-50-50? If not, start this plan into action— Be glad to Give as much as you Take. This plan of 50-50-rightly interpreted, means death to Whiners, to the Disgruntled, and to the Assassinators of Success. They can't live in the atmosphere of it. The Air is too Invigorating. Be glad to Give as much as you Take. Every dispute in this World is traceable to the lack of the 50-50 principle. The broken-up Homes, the disintegrated Businesses, the abandoned Friendships, the wasteful Armies of the World. There is need of this principle in every phase of Life.
