Action follows suggestion, and a good suggestion eannot produce anything other than a good act.

Habit is repeated action. You act upon a good suggestion and you are certain to acquire good habits. Saving is habit. It follows suggestion and action. The habit is easier to form than smoking or any of the wasteful habits.

But you must get the habit. Your habits make your character. No mistake about that A suggestion that you save a part of your earnings, no matter how small. If acted upon will fix you in the habit of economy and give you a character for stability and strength of purpose, that means getting along In the world. And success is determined by your character, that is.

your actions and your habits. You can only acquire independence by earning it You can only acquire -wealth by savins what you earn. All of which, as we said, cotues from suggestion.
