New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

despite the foundation of unselfishness upon which her nature is built, she is thoughtless and inconsiderate by her wasteful verbosity, as a rule, in business matters.

The woman who is direct, concise and expeditious in her methods is as unusual as a white blackbird. She seldom lacks employment. This quality of dispatch is one of the fundamental laws of success, and nothing reaches a man's business heart sooner than a delicate consideration of the great value of his time, and an indication that your own, as well, is worth conserving.

To every woman or girl who is about to seek influence, advice or a position, I offer this counsel: Before you set forth on your errand, think out clearly what you want.

Then think of a few concise sentences by which you may express your wish.

Keep to your point. Do not tell the story of your life, or describe your genealogical descent from William the Conqueror, to the man you hope will give you employment.

Talk about the subject which called you into his presence, and talk with directness and fluency, and get done with it and go away.

If you do not win the man's patronage, you will at least win his respect and gratitude.

And you will have saved your own time and nerve force for other occasions.
