So this thing that shortens life, and is used as the most cruel of punishments in our prisons, is the thing that will destroy all the life and force of a speech. Avoid it as you would shun a deadly dull bore.The "idle rich" can have half-a-dozen homes, command all the varieties of foods gathered from the four corners of the earth, and sail for Africa or Alaska at their pleasure; but the poverty-stricken man must walk or take a street car--he does not have the choice of yacht, auto,or special train.
He must spend the most of his life in labor and be content with the staples of the food-market. Monotony is poverty,whether in speech or in life. Strive to increase the variety of your speech as the business man labors to augment his wealth.
