~xxTWANTED to be a singer" said a
successful illustrator to the
writer. II had a pretty fair
voice. With cultivation 1t could have
been made better. But I know II l
spent the time necessary for Its u
tivation, I wouldn't have time to learn
to draw. And I had more ability at
picture making than at singing.
II didn't quit singing cold. I still
sing a little. But I dropped 1t as a
business. One business is all any mar
can attend to If he wants to get along
Today this man is n Of the high
est paid illustrators in the country.
He might have been a fair illustrator
and a fair singer, or a good singer
and a bad illustrator. But he chose
the career for which he had the
greater talent, and stuck to 1t.
The late Charles r. Van Loan IN
youth developed considerable talent
for drawing. When he was fourteen
or fifteen his teachers predicted that
he would some day be q great artist.
But he discovered that he could
write better than he could draw, and
thereafter he drew only to amuse his
friends and his children.
All his energies were bent toward
learning to write, and learn to write
he did. ~
Many men are born with a little tai
ent for several different activities
And many such ruin their lives Dy
scattering their energies instead OF
concentrating them on the one tnlng
they ian do best. !
Time allotted to man is insufficient
for the mastery of rel a single art
or profession.
Few men, however great, e die
with the feeling that they have reached
anything like the standards they set
for themselves. e.
There is always something still to
learn when the summons comes to lay
labor aside forever.
The surest way to win the measure
of success that your abilities can com
mand is to select the profession or the
trade or the business you most en-
Joy following, and keep at that to the
exclusion of every thing else save
needful recreation.
