Ways to be happy and successful, according to Mr. Herbert

Casson in Thirteen Tips on Luck (Efficiency Magazine, 5s.) are : (1) to study averages and percentages instead of following the crowd, (2) to find out things for oneself, (3) to be quick in arriving at decisions, (4) to be mobile and go where the " luck " is, (5) to attract favourable attention by not hiding one's light under a bushel, (6) to take risks, after due thought, (7) to have many interests, (8) to play " one's own game," (9) to keep on until one wins, (10) to make friends, (11) to share one's " luck " when it comes, (12) to keep straight, and (13) to make a friend of one's wife. This unassuming little volume is full of pithy sayings and sane optimism.
