LKQXUN ff we SELECTION When a person is faced with the necessity of making a vital decision, how does he make up his mind? When he stands at the crossroads and must turn to the right or left, what factors must he consider to determine a wise decision? Abraham Lincoln took more than a year to issue his Emancipation Proclamation, and then he followed it through because he was sure of his duty. ln what way can an individual facing a new issue reach a decision as clean and compelling? The first step is to secure information, and to be assured of the facts. If one is to enter business, let him study its soundness, possi- bilities and his aptitude for it. If it be to college or the large univer- sity, let him know the history, ideals, atmosphere and aims of each. One school may be much more valuable to his type than another- One should never choose blindly, or simply because a brother, sister or some relative has been successful in a certain venture. 'The second step in making a wise decision is to seek guidance. All about us are persons who have lived longer and thought more deeply than we. They have either climbed and made a success, or fal- len by the way. Why not consult with a few that have been successful? If one decides to be an engineer, lawyer, or physician, he may easily find successful men who will be glad to advise. They can inform as to requirements, satisfactions, weaknesses and strength. Each may give a new angle of vision or a new ray of light. From such advisors much wisdom can be gained. A third element is that of absolute honesty and unselfishness. lf in business or profession, honesty must be the guiding principle. Temptations to get rich quick, to take a mean advantage over the other fellow or to cheat in any way can bring only misfortune. To render efficient and unselfish service in any line should be a very important factor. A prominent employer once said that the things which we do for which we do not get paid are the elements of promotion. After one has obtained knowledge of the facts, the counsel of friends and an open mind, the decision comes in almost an involun- tary manner. just as when a seed is placed in the ground, under favorable conditions, the result is a plant or flower, and no further action is necessary: so one finds that he does not deliberately make up his mind, but suddenly discovers that his mind has been made up. After a decision as to one's future has been made, the word no should be abolished from his vocabulary. Persistence and hard work will then overcome all obstacles. WALTER A. GENSBIGLER. PAGE FOL' R
