PRIl1ClPllL'S IIIESSHGE WhaT consTiTuTes success in life? Many of you are beginning To ponder abouT The problem. Too ofTen, success has been pic- Tured fo you in Terms of wealTh or fame. Too liTTle prominence has been given To The facT ThaT There are successful people in The everyday walks of life: peo- ple ThaT we seldom, if ever, hear abouT. Whar Then do we mean by success? To me success is linked wiTh happiness. IT means To do The Things Thaf you are besT fiTTed for: To enioy living: and finally, To be of service To your fellow men. People who follow This creed are someTimes found in high places buT more ofTen They are among Those wiTh whom we RALpH 1, WATTENBURGER daily brush shoulders. They are The unpreTenTious people who Take life as They Tind if and do The besf They can wiTh whaf They have. They are The people of simple Tasfes, honesf eTforTs, and conTenTed minds. They go abouf Their work quieTly, paTienTly, and wiTh no ThoughT of show or public acclaim. Such people are The backlcone of our democracy and have made The Unifed Sfafes whaT if is Today.
