From James Allen to You 48

From poverty to power; or, the realization of prosperity and peace.
Part 2: The path to prosperity
The way out of undesirable conditions 26

Rare and beautiful is that humility of soul
by which a servant entirely forgets himself in his master’s good;
but far rarer, and beautiful with a divine beauty,
is that nobility of soul
by which a man, forgetting his own happiness, seeks the happiness of those
who are under his authority,
and who depend upon him
for their bodily sustenance.

And such a man’s happiness is increased tenfold,
nor does he need to complain of those whom he employs.
Said a well known and extensive employer of labor,
who never needs to dismiss an employee:
“I have always had the happiest relations with my workpeople.
If you ask me how it is to be accounted for,
I can only say
that it has been my aim from the first to do to them
as I would wish to be done by.”
Herein lies the secret
by which all desirable conditions are secured,
and all that are undesirable are overcome.

tenhold = ten times as big or as much
extensive = having a great range
to dismiss = to decide that something or someone is not important and not worth considering
to account = to think of someone or something in the stated way
