: Some Other Business.
BY RUTH CAMERoN.

Some Other Business.
Nov. II I'd only gone into the
Newspaper business feel az IL could
have really done something worth
while." a man said to me the other
day.
Don't you like your own bust
ness?' I asked. He IL a rather sue
cessful cracker salesman.
"Oh. yes" he said, well enough,
but there's SO little chance to get
ahead in it. feel sure could have
done something big II had gone into
the newspaper business. There's
more chance for an ambitious man
there"
Now had he spoken of some other
business might have been impressed
and convinced, but the nevvspaper
business-well, that something I hap
pen to know about. And ever since I
had anything to do with newspapers
have had it dinned into my ears by
newspaper men that there never was
a business where the chances OF maxi
ing money were so small. Almost ev-
cry newspaper man know is sure he
would have made plenty, Of money II
he had only put his brains and energy
into some other business.
Some other business-how alluring
1t always Is! How simple 1t appears
to learn; how large its advantages
loom; and its disadvantages-well
we don't really believe it has any. OF
course. the other fellow says so, but
then he's q pessimist anyway. and be-
sides he IL probably trying to discour-
age US because he fears our COMPETE
ton.
/ Now is 1t merely the discounted
failure who 1aments what might have
been? Even the successful man often
believes he could have been still more
successful II only he had chosen some
other business.
Now, Of course, there are plenty of
square pegs in round holes-pegs that
would be efficient and useful IL only
they had found their way into square
holes. But on the other hand, there
! are q great many uneven. ill-shapen
pegs that wouldn't efficiently At any
hole unless they were worked into the
proper shape by education and train
| ing. And the man who thinks he is
the first is quite often the second.
Your own business is the place to
make good in. Choose it carefully
with due attention to your talents and
personal equipment. and then put the
whole of yourself into It and you will
probably do just as well as you would
| in some other business.
OF course, II at any time. after
thorough investigation and, IL posi-
bic. some tentative experiment, you
become absolutely convinced that you
are better fitted for some other line
OF work. it would be folly not to
change. But remember that from the
outside looking in one il likely to
| overestfmate the advantages and op-
portunities and underestimate the diff
dculties and disadvantages. 1t ID
only when one il on the inside look
ing out-and quite often wishing one
could get out-that one gets the whole
OF the picture.
Sometimes It seems sad to me that
/ we cannot have half q dozen lives in
which to find out II we couldn't do
better At the other fellows business.
And then again think it's unfortu-
nate, for. after all, isn't 1t pleasanter
| to believe one. could have done great
| things than to know one couldn't?
