Essay
What are You Going to Do?
Miss KATIE MEENAN.
This is the question we often hear
in our daily lives, and yet sometimes
how useless it seem to ask it. We do
not known now what we may do. We
may intend to do something in the
future that will leave us such bright
record in history that our names will
never die and when the time arrives
that we intended to accomplished it,
it is as far from us as ever. How often
we build our hopes on something that
like drifting sand Keeps constantly
going from us. How often all our
hopes our plans are destroyed per-
haps it was the loss of Il friend at the
time we most needed him or perhaps
il was that while we were thinking of
these we We're carelessIy letting the
time glide by that we should have
been using for building the foundation
of them. But we must all have some
plan. Hle one that cnbarks upon
the voyage Of life without plan is
like a ship going to sea without rud-
| der, and after being tossed upon its
waves for sometime he will soon sink
| into Oblivion. But it is the one who
! has Il fixed plan that will succeed. He
| does not expose himself to the changes
of this life and hence suffers but little
| from them. So if we intend to ac
cOmplish anything we must know
| how we are going to do ii. There is
nothing great done i'll life without
hard mental or physical labor, and if
! we intend to do anything in life with
| out one or the other we will find that
we cannot succeed. Some may have
wealth that will give them II broader
| field to work upon; others may have u
| brighter intellect and things may
come easily to them. But there is no
one vino ii he tries cannot accomplish
something. No one has over done
| anything until he tried. Ll0k at our
authors, Our statesmen they all had to
try hard. Bat III all your plans in all
your transactions you must remember
one thing. "l5e true to yOurselvesn
and in doing so you will be true t0
others. Ii you do this your life will
be a success, il you DO not it will be Il
failure. On this depends your future.
For the one that cheats others cheats
! himself most and ii we succeed il

and to nur neiwhbOrs il is all we need
