LEADERSHIP 
I 
N every field of human endeavor, he that  is first  must  perpetually  live 
in 
the white  light  of publicity.  ?Whether the leadership  be vested 
in  a man 
or in  a  manufactured  product, emulation  and  envy  are ever  at 
work.  TIn art,  in literature,  in  music,  in  industry, the reward  and the 
punishment  are always  the same.  TThe  reward  is widespread  recog- 
nition;  the punishment,  fierce  denial  and detraction.  TWhen  a  man’s 
work  becomes  a standard  for the  whole  world,  it  also  becomes  a  target 
for  the  shafts  of the  envious  few.  ?If  his  work be merely mediocre, 
he 
will  be left  severely alone - if he  achieve  a masterpiece, it  will set a  million 
tongues  a-wagging.  vealousy does not protrude  its forked tongue  at 
the  artist  who produces 
a commonplace  painting. VWhatsoever  you 
write, 
or paint, or play, or sing, or build, no  one will  strive  to  surpass, or 
to  slander  you, unless  your  work  be stamped  with the  seal  of genius. 
TLong,  long  after a great  work 
or a  good  work  has  been done, those  who 
are  disappointed 
or envious continue  to cry  out  that  it can  not be done. 
?Spiteful  little voices  in  the domain  of art  were raised against 
our own 
Whistler 
as a  mountebank,  long after the big  world  had acclaimed  him 
its greatest  artistic genius.  ?Multitudes  flocked  to  Bayreuth to worship 
at  the  musical  shrine of Wagner,  whiIe 
the little group  of those  whom he 
had dethroned  and  displaced argued angrily  that he was no  musician  at 
all.  TThe  little world  continued  to protest 
that hlton  could never 
build  a steamboat,  while the big  world  flocked to 
the river  banks  to see 
his boat steam by. YThe leader  is assailed because  he  is  a leader,  and 
the  effort  to  equal  him  is merely  added proof 
of that leadership.  qFailing 
to  equal 
or to  excel,  the follower  seeks to depreciate  and  to destroy - but 
only  confirms  once  more 
the superiority of that  which he strives  to 
supplant.  TThere  is nothing  new  in  this.  TIt  is 
as old as  the  world 
and  as old  as  the  human  passions 
- envy, fear, greed, ambition,  and  the 
desire  to  surpass.  TAnd it 
all avails  nothing.  TIf the  leader  truly 
leads,  he  remains 
- the  leader.  TMasteppoet,  masteppainter,  master 
workman, each  in his  turn  is assailed,.and  each holds  his laurels through 
the  ages.  TThat  which is  good 
or great makes  itself  known,  no  matter 
how  loud  the clamor  of denial.  TThat  which deserves  to  live-lives.

Your right side  mirror  is  convex. 
A convex mirror’s  surface is curved so you can  see  more from the driver’s 
seat. _1

If you  aren’t  used to a convex  mirror,  you can  hit  another 
vehicle. 
A convex  mirror  can  make  things  (like other  vehicles) 
look farther  away than they really  are. If you cut too  sharply 
into  the  right  lane,  you could  hit 
a vehicle  on  your  right.  Check 
your  inside  mirror  or glance over your  shoulder  before changing 
lanes.
