I feel sure that his last bit of advice is deserving of our reflection and consideration. . . to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Reams have been written to expand and ex- plain these words of the immortal poet. I think simply stated it means that a person must be honest with himself and his fellow man. Let me try to illustrate my thinking by telling you of a young man I know who is blessed with many talents, the true de- velopment of any one of which would make him indeed happy, successful, and worth- while to himself, to his family, and to his friends. He is such an intelligent and ed- ucated man that if he chose to use some of the talents he possesses, the resulting bene- fits to himself and mankind would be nu- merous. lnstead, this person pursues a course in life which brings him money only, I-le has told me many times that he is one of the most miserable of creaturesg he is very unhappygdoing the work ich makes him richer every day, yet he cannot bring himself to turn to one of those fields of work which would make him l upon some of his other talents. He is too accustomed to making money and too interested in stockpiling it, even though feels he is wasting his life doing it, Certainly, this is not being true to himself - or to his fellow man. Have you thought that often we are not true to ourselves? You may not realize it yet, but there is in each one of you some d-given talent that should be nurtured and brought to full flower, Why not spend some time in learning what this talent is using it to the best of your ability? Make it serve you so that you will be working not only to gain material wealth but o to make a person of real worth to yourself and .to others. Your reward will be indeed great. If you always make it a practice of being true to yourself, I am sure that you will find that Thou canst not then befalse ny man. ,fl-vc.e4eZL'd. 4.4.111-
