Let first things be put first; work before play; duty before enjoyment; and others before self: this is an excellent rule, which cannot lead astray. To make a right beginning is halfway to victory. The athlete who makes a bad start may lose his prize; the merchant who makes a false start may lose his reputation; and the Truth-seeker who makes a wrong start may forgo the crown of Righteousness.
To begin with pure thoughts, sterling rectitude, unselfish purpose, noble aims, and an incorruptible conscience this is to start right; this it is to put first things first, so that all other things will follow in harmonious order, making life simple, beautiful, successful, and peaceful.
What does the successful athlete, merchant and Truth-seeker have in common? First things first are to plan today for what you know will be coming-come hell or high water. Plan smartly for the inevitable.
