Idleness and the consciousness Of In
competency should make any man
ashamed Of himself and drive him to
do something that is worth the doing.
1t Is within the grasp Of every one to
learn some one thing that will yield
both pleasure and profit. Success
comes only to those who seek 1t.
The young man who is really in
earnest will not have to be advised
how to succeed. He may learn much
by studying the failures of others, how
ever. and he will always find, after q
survey of the great legion of the un-
successful, that two causes have
brought them TO their present misery
