Lift Yourself to a New Horizon

April 4, 2011 by Cathy Stucker Leave a Comment

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

Are you stuck in the same old rut? Expand your horizon and break free of the routine that holds you back.

You can go dead on any level.

You can be satisfied with your horizon. Same people. Same scenes. Same old daily grind. Wake up, shave, eat, routine work, eat, more work, eat again, then to bed. Next day ditto. No vision.

Take Control of What You Can Control

March 28, 2011 by Cathy Stucker Leave a Comment

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

Do you think that you can not change the things that are wrong in your life? Some things “just happen” but there are many factors within our control–if we are willing to take control.

The South has produced such a surplus crop of cotton above current needs that the price of the entire crop falls below what is generally believed to be the cost of production. Man’s acreage and Nature’s weather did it. Man could not control the weather but he could the acreage. Everlastingly, Agricultural Bureaus keep preaching diversified farming.

In like manner I keep on preaching diversified living to you Purina Leaders. I keep hammering away on the four-fold life represented by our trade mark, the Four-Square Checker. Unless somebody constantly hammers away at you, you may get a bit careless and become unbalanced. It is so easy to forget the weak side. When anything goes wrong there is something at the bottom of it. When the price of cotton tumbled the controllable factor was the acreage. When something goes wrong with your living there is a controllable cause.

Are You a Tenth Man?

March 21, 2011 by Cathy Stucker Leave a Comment

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

“Every Tenth. Man Does the Thinking For the Other Nine. Are You a Tenth Man?”

The above was taken from a sermonette called “Think.”

Nine men carry out the plans and ideas of some other person.

What price am I willing to pay this week to become a Tenth Man? Among a hundred fellow workers, ten are going to poke their heads above the crowd. Am I one of the Ten? What Price Success!

Put It to Work

March 14, 2011 by Cathy Stucker Leave a Comment

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

He Conceived An Idea
And Having Conceived It
Put It To Work.

Did you ever create anything of your own? The world is full of imitators, but creators are few and far between.

The conception of an idea is a glorious thing. It is like the birth of a child or the dawn of a new day. Having conceived an idea, it is still more glorious to Put It To WORK.

Dare

March 7, 2011 by Cathy Stucker Leave a Comment

This week’s Monday Morning Message from Wm. H. Danforth, founder of Ralston Purina: What is the Monday Morning Message?

“What I’ve dared I’ve willed;
And what I’ve willed, I’ll do !”
—Melville

“That’s good stuff,” is the trite comment we make when we read a thrilling message like this. But what does it mean to us unless it spurs us to action? Let’s be honest. Deep truths roll off our minds all too often with just the brief comment, “That’s good.”

During this week let’s put down some DARES.
