Choosing Your Life Path

i wrest living from whatever offers
itself 10 us as means OF subsistence.
For such there is little help, TO find
something in the work which is fairly
liksble and which offers chance for
a little individuality, is the best for
which they can hope With them we
will not deal on this occasion further
than TO remind them that there is a
certain splendor in making the best
Of bad business
! For those who have the power Of
choice there exist two considerations
| 10 help them determine what their
work shall be: To do what they have
\ il in them to do with recognition Of
their powers and tastes, or to choose
work that is so big part OF the
worlds progress that there is honor
in being one OF those who help it into
completion.
Inbred taste in the ehooser' is not
chance pharse meaning nothing. 1t
indicates recognition OF ones own
abilities and their values.
In illustration let me tell you the
little story OF boy know who pos.
sessed marked artistic and musical
ability. He loved 10 play the violin
and he was only less fond of draw
ing With high enthusiasm he started
out on an artistic career and then he
discovered that he had neither the APP
plication 10 devote himself to study
and practice nor talent so marked as
TO insure his success.
He liked the idea Of being an artist.
but he did not like the work that
postulated He had not actually the
inbred taste 10 make an artist He
recognized this fact with a show Of
common sense. which indicated clear
w that he had shrewdness and bust
ness aenmen and he is al prestn very
successful sales manager OF large
corporation His avocation Is music
but It was never his calling and he
knew il In time
