Introduction Five years of your life, in written form, will be your reward for keeping this book faithfully and accurately. You will record your daily habits, your thoughts, and events of importance. As you round out this chronicle of doings, you will be able to check back a year from the time you are writing, and see at a glance your activities of a year ago. As you go along, you will be able to turn aside the veil of forgetfulness and see the event of two, three and even four years ago. You will find amusing recollections that will bring chuckles---possibly business affairs whose record will prove, valuable, and certainly little precious memories that you will want to keep in the permanent form which this book provides.
