A Message To Garcia
Employer or Employee this is one of the finest business messages ever published.
Over forty million copies of “A Message to Garcia” have been printed. Made into two movies the first put into motion picture by Thomas Edison, issued in booklet form in editions of half a million. Reprinted in over two hundred magazines and newspapers. It has been translated into all written languages. .
This is said to be a larger circulation than any other literary venture has ever attained during the lifetime of the author, in all history—thanks to a series of lucky accidents!
I had this classic text formatted for online reading or listening read by a professional voice talent.

HORSE SENSE
If you work for a man, in Heaven’s name work for him. If he pays wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, think well of him, and stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man, I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of his time, but all of his time. I would give an undivided service or none.
If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn, and eternally disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are outside, damn to your heart’s content. But, I pray you, so long as you are a part of an institution, do not condemn it. Not that you will injure the institution—not that—but when you disparage the concern of which you are a part, you disparage yourself. And don’t forget—“I forgot” won’t do in business.
