Others will continue along general or specialized lines in institutions of higher learning. However, no matter to which group you belong the question uppermost in your mind probably will be What is to be my life work? The following article, the authorship of which is unknown to me, contains a number of ideas well worth thinking about, not only at this time, but later when discouragements are bound to come. It should not be read hastily but slowly and thoughtfully. Next week read it again. EVERY MAN MUST CLIMB HIS HILLS Every man must climb his hills. Strength springs from effortg character takes root in disappointment and delay. Peace and contentment can only be established by contrasting experiences. Those who have lost best know the meaning of winning. Yearning fixes the value of possession. In one way or another, every human must pay his price. The poor may suffer through depri- vation, but the rich are bored with satiety. To always have everything dis- counts the full worth of anything. The fruit within easiest reach possesses the least flavor: its zest increases with its heighth from the ground. Scarcity and inaccessibility are determining factors in every market. Men and ideas, as well as gems and metals, are valuable in proportion to their rarity and individuality. Commonplace individuals and articles alike command the minimum. If you think along trite lines--if you elect an over- crowded career-if you set your brain to conventional pursuits, you'll be lucky if you manage to eke out a bare living. There is no failure so absolute as that of a man who has never made a whole-hearted attempt to realize to the full extent upon his capabilities. The world is filled with discontented people who have no cause for com- plaint except against themselves. Without ambition or resolution, they adopt the first profession, enter the first trade or accept the first position they en- counter, estimating neither their inherent fitness for the occupation nor possible aptitude for broader affairs. Cowardice, in some form, is invariably at the root of inefiiciency. UNWILLINGNESS to undergo an occasional bitter moment, or fear of fall-down, or dread of temporary suffering, or lack of self-confidence are the contributing factors in the colorless careers of millions. The few who rise to power and domination are seldom geniuses. Persistence and optimism win almost every battle with circumstance. You can attain more and gain more if you will strain harder. The number of hours through which you toil play but little part in the result. The secret of progress lies in the number of faculties which you bring to bear in your endeavors. When heart and soul and mind, as well as fingers and eyes, are concen- trated upon an undertaking-when scars and bruises and penalties are accepted as an expected part of the daily grind-when you can hear the promise of to- morrow calling louder than the hurts of the past--when you can look yourself over each morning and in the assurance that you are still sound and sane find inspiration to attempt anew-no goal is fixed too far-no reward set too high. -B. G. Ludwig, Principal. 12
