How To Be Succesful - Mr Birling

        Everyone is saying there is going to be a war with Germany, but that is absolutely wrong, because all the nations have everything to lose, but nothing to gain. Even if there is a war, it’ll be good us factory owners, as we’ll get orders for soldier’s uniforms. Like I say war is impossible, I also say that the Titanic is unsinkable, because the world is progressing and nothing can stop it.

        If any of you want to start a new business, then you’ll have to have determination and an ability to work hard. As your business grows, you’ll have more and more employees and you have to make sure they work hard and never strike or cause any trouble. If they do any of those things, then you should come down sharp on them and maybe even fire them, because you can always get someone else. Also take care with your money, don’t give it away or lend it and don’t buy unnecessary things. Remember that money is the most important thing, so don’t misuse it or you’ll be like those working class people.

        Make your company really good, so that everyone knows how well it is. This will help you make a name and have a good self image, so you’re respected. Don’t mess about in your, always be serious and you’ll get the best results. If you’re a high class factory owner, you must look good to have a good reputation and name. You also should look after yourself and of course your family. Nothing can be achieved without your family’s support, so it’s really to look after them and keep them happy by giving them what they want.
