GATES AT WORK AND PLAY
Viewed Life as a Gamble, and
Won Wealth on That Theory.

Life is a gamble. Everything is gam
bic. When the farmer plants his corn he
is gambling. He is practically betting that
the weather conditions will enable him TO
raise d good crop. Sometimes ne loses
Sometimes he wins. Every man who goes
into business embarks upon speculation.
OF course. the element Of judgment enters
I'm. but the element Of chance cannot be
ruled out Whenever a man starts out on
railway Journey it's gamble whether
he ever reaches his destination. All life
is a gamble, YOU see"
Such was the apologize Of John Warne
Gates on his retirement from active specu-
lation in 1901. Upon that principle he had
built up one OF the most spectacular
careers I'm the history Of Wall Street. and
won for himself the sobriquct, "Bet-You
Million" Gates.
