If you only realized how much you min in Pleasure, Growth and increased Power every time you push Responsibility upon someone else, you would never again let a chance pass to do what comes to you to do.

Once for all, break the “Let George Do It” habit. When a task steps up before you — take hold of it and do it Yourself.

In every community — in this community — there are always big, ready, generous, willing people quick to respond to any call for Service at the moment someone else shirks. They are the “Georges.” And if you will let them perform your work, they will do it. But when they do — you move Backward. YOU — be a “George.”

Work that should be done by Yourself is never done so well when shifted to someone else.

You are either a Do or a Let Do. It is a personal matter of Success or Failure as to which you are.

The “Let George Do It” folks are easily spotted. They line the sidewalks of every busy street. They do the “easy” jobs in the Stores and Factories. They are the fellows that board at Jails and Alms Houses and keep the Lawyers busy. They are the men and women that are “too busy” to do what is asked and required of them to do.

Don’t “Let George Do It.” Do it YOURSELF.
