VALEDICTORY - — Mary Jordan « THE ROAI) TO SITCESS. The Road to Success is a rough and thorny one. Hard work must be your companion if you wish to succeed. Thomas Edi- son. one of (he greatest men who ever lived, says that “genius is nothing more nor less than two per cent inspiration and nine- ty-eight per cent perspiration.’ Opportunity comes not once, but often. If a man sits still by his fireside and does not rise to admit her, she will not linger, and when she comes again her rap will be fainter until it will finally fade away. All of the greatest men that the world has ever known were among the most industrious. Napoleon Bonaparte, one of the four supreme military geniuses of history is said to have been a man of tire- less energy and a “terrible worker.” We should choose one cer- tain line for our life work, and then direct all our energies to- ward that one purpose, never departing from the rough and thorny road until we reach our goal. We must have patience as we struggle along the Road to Success. We must be continually reaching out toward our goal, but never must we lose patience. We must not, however, be so patient as to believe that “everything comes to him who waits.” because that maxim is only used by indolent people who are always waiting for something to “turn up.” Hope makes life worth living. If we desire to be successful, we must never lose it. It is Hope that blots out the mistakes of yesterday and turns our faces toward the rising sun of tomor- row. The most successful and the most famous people of the world have suffered many disappointments and misfortunes that would crush many of us so that we never would have the cour- age to go on. The man who rises quickly and continues the race is the man who wins. So when you are feeling sad and discouraged, remember that clouds are not lasting, and the sun may break through tomorrow. It is human nature to judge things from their outside appearance. Many people whom other people envy have misfortunes in their lives that we do not know.
