"It Brings Your Mind into Action at Once," says a Pelman Student.
THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS, April 02, 1919.
In Business and Commercial Life—as, in fact, in every other sphere of human activity—permanent success can only be won by those who possess energy, and energy rightly directed.
Perhaps more men and women have failed in life through lack of energy and application than from any other causes, and very frequently these failures have been the most disappointing and saddening of all failures, the failures of men and women of brilliant mental ability.
Lack of energy is one of the weaknesses which often seem to dog the footsteps of clever people. All through their lives their talents have proved their undoing. So quick are they at “picking up” things that they are apt to be tempted to neglect the steady application and mental discipline which is so necessary for those who wish to succeed in any undertaking.
The fable of the hare and the tortoise has many a counterpart in contemporary life. People are attracted by the intellectual brilliance of an individual, they trust him, they give him opportunities—and then they are disappointed.
- He never quite “gets there.”
- He is bored by routine.
- He lets opportunity after opportunity slip by.
- He gets the reputation of being “unreliable.”
- And finally he is passed in the race of progress by those who may not possess his talents, but who have acquired the habit of persistent energy which he lacks.
THE POWER HOUSE OF ENERGY.
One of the most valuable features of Pelmanism to the men and women of the day is that, in addition to providing a complete course of mental discipline and training, and besides “bringing out” just those qualities which are of the greatest use in every Profession, Business, and Occupation, it actually develops, and, in fact, generates that energy which enables those who possess it to put their other faculties to the very best possible use.
To those who apply themselves conscientiously to the lessons of the Pelman Course, Pelmanism is a veritable Power House of Energy. As a Pelman student writes in a letter quoted below,
“it brings your mind into action at once,” so that you never, through lack of energy and alertness, let an opportunity slip by.
It makes you, in fact, “a live wire”: one of those men and women who are invaluable to any business and in every position; one of those who, practically speaking, are almost bound to succeed.
“The ‘little grey book,’ which impresses me very much,” writes the student referred to, “was the one which dealt with Human Energy. It brings your mind into action at once… It makes you feel you are of some use to everyone. It makes you think for yourself. You cannot help being energetic.
“It makes your work come quite easy, and you take a great interest in your achievements. You feel that you must keep on working hard, for only by hard work and human energy can success come your way. I am sure that with energy, your character changes and your mental faculties improve. You begin to feel happier, you like your work… and you jump at the chance of a more responsible job coming your way.”
"AN ALL-ROUND MENTAL RENAISSANCE."
As the above letter implies, Pelmanism not only re-energises the mind, but it develops other valuable qualities as well, all of which make for efficiency in man or woman. This is stated more definitely in a letter recently received from a Sergeant in the Army. From which we quote the following paragraph:—
“I have experienced,“ he says, “an all-round mental renaissance.
- I have learned the meaning of mental efficiency.
- I have come to appreciate its value.
- I have been brought to realize the importance of a good memory.
- I have been taught how to generate energy.
“The efficiency of my senses has been wonderfully improved—I ‘observe’ now where I merely ‘saw’ before; my Will-Power has been greatly strengthened.
- I have learned to think connectedly and to work methodically.
- I have been shown how to concentrate; self-confidence and initiative has been stimulated.
- And, my imagination has been stimulated.
“Other benefits I have derived, but it is necessary to proceed further—they are too numerous to enumerate here. Still, I have to admit that they are all attributable to ‘Pelmanism.’ Mark you, I do not speak at random; my eulogy is bestowed advisedly, for my improvement is self-evident and unmistakable.”
He concludes with a reference to the “pleasure” he has experienced in going through the Course and working out the papers, which, he says—as many thousands have also said—“are extraordinarily interesting.”
The result of developing the mind is quickly seen in the rapid progress the Pelmanist makes in business and commercial life. His or her increased efficiency attracts the notice of the management, and promotion, with increased remuneration, follows.
“Prior to being a Pelman Student,” writes a correspondent, “I watched with envy others succeed where I failed, and I wished I had been born with the qualities to succeed as they had been.
“Then I applied Pelman methods, and in three months am well on the way to succeed as they did.”
It is a common fallacy to suppose, as this student supposed, until Pelmanism disproved the idea, that the qualities which make for success in life are “born” in the minds of a few exceptionally favoured individuals, and that others do not possess them at all.
Most people possess these qualities in some form, but in 99 cases out of 100 they are not developed, and are, therefore, made of little use. Pelmanism develops these qualities to the highest possible point of efficiency and brings out the best that is in everyone.
And such is the value of Pelmanism in business that many important firms have recently enrolled their entire staffs for a course of Pelman training, knowing that the cost of the fees—and these fees are very moderate and well within the reach of everyone—would be repaid over and over again in the increased efficiency of their employees.
And employers find Pelmanism equally as valuable to themselves as to those they employ. Thousands of workers and hundreds of leading business and professional men are now practising Pelmanism themselves and gaining great advantages from the Course.
DOUBLE YOUR EARNING POWER.
A greatly appreciated feature is the personal interest the Pelman Institute takes in the welfare of its students. As the result of the advice given by the Pelman instructors, “I have,” writes one, “obtained a position in a firm where I always desired to go, and my salary has been increased nearly 50 per cent.”
And many Pelmanists report income increases of 100 per cent., 200 per cent., and even 600 per cent., as the result of the increased efficiency gained from Pelman training. “It is the best investment I have ever made,” is a phrase repeatedly occurring in the letters received from delighted Pelmanists.
And by this increased efficiency not only is earning power doubled and trebled, the work is made easier, so that better work can be done in less time and with less fatigue. “I have been able to add two hours daily to my business working capacity,” writes a Pelman student, and many report an even greater gain this.
Yet the Pelman Course itself is perfectly easy to understand and to follow. It involves very little expenditure either of time or of money, and it is as interesting to study as it is remunerative to practise.
Become that “power house of energy” for yourself; for your future—today!
The end.
Remember, What matters most in your life is YOU and what you do with your life.
Pelmanism is an authoritative message to taking Action—the Pelman Course reveals, in simple terms, that all action in life is preceded by THOUGHT.
