Starting Right

No one should enter business un-
less he can produce evidence that
he has some trading ability and an
appreciation of financial affairs.
Handwork. or what is commonly
called trade, is for those who ap-
pear to possess no marked desire
10 enter a profession or business,
and have mechanical skill.
Desire. then, is probably the best
guide to follow, provided the de-
sire is positive and can't be shaken.
Then the boy should consider
each kind or class of profession,
business, or trade; talk with those
connected with it; observe the ac-
tion OF it; get in close contact with
it, and, after a while, if he be per-
sistent and has investigated intelli-
gently and thoroughly, he may be
able to choose the vocation best
suited to him.
He should avoid following the
advice of any one person, ayd es-
pecially that of his fellows. Be-
cause one boy succeeds we'll in a
certain line of business must not
be taken as evidence that another
will do as well. Thousands of boys
enter business because there hap
pens TO be an opening, or one OF
their schoolmateS has gone into it.
This is dangerous.
1t is difficult to change from one
line to another; consequently the
utmost care should be taken to dis
criminate in favor of some one
class of work, that it may not be
necessary to make a complete
change of base later on. The ma
jority of successful men are still in
the profession, business, or trade,
which they chose at the start. They
may have changed from one firm to
another, but they did not change
from one kind of work to another.
