ANTICIPATION AND REALI-
ZATION.
Paper Read by Member of Class A.

The true JOY of life lies rather in an.
ticipation than in realization. But the
truth of this statement is not apparent
to all. How can it be when they are
but straining for that distant goal
which Imagination invests with all the
glory and romance of the unknown?
Only when the goal is reached, only |
when the prize is within reach does the
victor find that he has but gained dead
sea fruit for his reward. That which
glistens, like gold in the distance,
proves to be but tinsel upon closer in
spection, and the beautiful dreams of
youth, unsubstantial as the fantasies
of sunset, lure onward with the
promise of glories never to be realized.
1t is the illusions of youth which rem
der us so happy, so ambitious, so deter
mined to succeed; but when they are
lost the actual truth is bitter indeed.
Ask any successful man if he is happy,
and he will tell you that happiness van
ished with success, and that the much
desired bauble when gained proved
hardly worth the struggle of years.
Some few persons there are who can
attain their ambitions and yet be happy,
but the majority of mankind learn by
bitter experience that the work is worth
more than the reward. Charles V. the
most powerful monarch of his time
gave up all his imperial spIendors for
the quietness of a private life. History
is but record of many who have been
disillusioned by success. 1t is as en-
chanting as the Arabian Nights and as
lacking in true happiness. Don't for a
moment think l depreciate ambition
for that has made America as pros
porous as she is. But where the great
mistake is made is that too much is de-
sired in the first place. If by stroke
of good fortune they attain their end,
they can not enjoy their success, be-
cause it has got beyond their ability to
; manage. We owe great deal to these
unhappy unsuccessful ones, but their
!, eminence is not always to be envied'
) Some people when they start in life
| take everything for granted, view every
> thing with roseate expectations and
when failure results from over-confi'
, dence grow respondent and make no
, effort to rise to the occasion. The fun.
, damental requisite to success and the
one that all ambitious men and women
7 should keep in view, is to know what
l they are seeking to attain, and when
l this is understood it should be followed
3 through defeat and through failure
/. and not be like the little boy who
