:never be confused in estimating a man's worth.

:an enemy of success. We are told that this is an age of
:specialization, and specialization demands concentration.

*:_U_R_L67
S:Strive for typing accuracy. Speed without accuracy is of little value.
:Rhythm is the secret of typing skill. Don't write one part of a word
:faster than another. Slow down so that you can maintain a regular rhythm.
:
:Think of the letters before you strike them. Strike the keys evenly, so
:that the printing impression does not vary. At the same time, try to
:develop your stroking speed and make it a habit to release the keys quickly.
:To get up speed, type each exercise three or four times.
:
:To do your best, it is necessary that you be relaxed. You may be trying so
:hard that you are all tied up in knots. Relax consciously. If you have a
:feeling of tenseness and hurry, you are not properly relaxed.
