SELF-KNOWLEDGE AND ITS RESULT
Some time ago a study was made at one of the large universities as to the reason why more than four thousand men and women were unable to hold their jobs in various industries and business concerns. The analysis indicated that about 34 per cent lost their positions because of inefficiency, while the remaining 66 per cent failed because they were unable to maintain harmonious relationships with others.
From the standpoint of Christian Science these findings are especially interesting because they indicate the all-important part that the thinking of an individual plays in everything that he undertakes. In her textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," Mary Baker Eddy writes (p. 213), "Of a man it has been said, 'As he thinketh in his heart, so is he;' hence as a man spiritually understandeth, so is he in truth."
When one becomes a student of Christian Science, he begins to see that it is not what someone else may be thinking that is important, but what he is thinking. One may have a fine education and the best of technical equipment, but if he finds himself at odds with his business associates and unable to adjust himself to another's point of view, these erroneous elements, if not uncovered and eliminated, may operate as a cause for continued failure and lack of progress.
