A SUCCESSFUL FAILURE

The remark recently made
i, 'Chomas G.. Plat concerning his o"
? life was a lifting of the curtain, 10
, an instant, to show the real feeling
l OF a man who has succeeded-and TAI
ed
Plat said. you will remember: M.
life could have been made so muc'
/ better or at least different from wha
it has been"
$50 much better-or different.
The phrasing is characteristics
confession and then an adrolt hedg
ing of his words. lest he might nave
said too much.
But the real feeling of the man
is plain. He knows his life has not
been what it ought to have been.
It might have been better-or much
better. Seventy-two years old and
! sorry for his life!
Why, the man has gotten about
everything a man wants to get in this
life.
Health? He IS seventy-two and
still able to successfully head a great
corporation.
Fame? He is a senator of the Unit
ed States and maker Of presidents.
Power? For years he has been the
suprnmp boss of the Republican poll
tics of New York state.
Are not these the things men strive
for in order to succeed?
But has it been worth while?-
worth while to himself and to the
world? With the clear after vision
Of old age Plat can see that his life
has simply been a successful failure.
Because
"a mans life CONSISTENT not in the
abundance of the things that he
hath" Successful living, in the true
sense, is not in having, but in being;
not in getting. but in giving. 1t lies
not in what a man has, but in what
he is and what he does.
Platt sees what might have been.
He might have had. instead of mil
lions of dollars, wealth of mind
and soul: instead Of fame as boss
that of benefactor; instead of power
in politics. the power to do good to
lis fellows: instead of the fawning
of lieutenants, the esteem of friends
instead of hollow service. love.
Yes, his life could have been made
so much better'-if he had cared
for the real things instead Of the i'm
itations.
And for the sake of the young men
of this country it is we'll that this
cid man. successful after his kind
should virtually confess his failure.
