ORIOLE F A 0 LW g THE MASTER OF YOUR FATE 2 1 am the master of my fate i l am the captain of my soul. K , . L In these words the poet furnished a worthy motto for every youth, and , one whose sentiment l wish to commend to the members of the class just t passing out of high school life. v i Some deny the truth of the poet's words. They tell us that we are the i V product of heredity or environment. They assert that our fate is determined y by factors that are beyond our control. such as differences in wealth. or k opportunity. or natural ability. r E It is admitted that our lives are affected by those factors. It is even Q possible for us to permit them to so influence us that they will become the L determining factors in life. and will take the shaping of our destiny out of our own control. n i U 'But the experiences of many noted men and women, as well as of millions of less notable but none the less successful persons all around us l bear witness to the possibility of overcoming the apparent handicaps of here- ! clity and environment. Abraham Lincoln furnishes us a notable example. L, Born in the midst of poverty. with few opportunities and limited training. 7 he achieved for himself a nam-e and a place in the hearts of the people that will N forever endure. Consider Charles P. Steinmetz. handicapped by poverty and Q physical deformity. whose persistent effort placed him in the front rank of 9 American scientists. Genius. you say? Perhaps so. But genius alone would P never have accomplished such results. And the factor that added to their P natural talent. made possible the success of these men is one that is within the 5 control of every boy and girl. That factor is character. P 1 lt is not so much what you know. not what you have learned to do. ' that will determine your future. as the habits you have formed and the N character you have developed. For your education is only begun. lf you P possess strength of character you will learn the things you need to know: you ' will train yourself for the work to which nature has adapted you. as There are not many among us who can lay claims to genius. But there g is an opportunity for success in the world for every normal person with high f ideals and strength of purpose. who is willing to sacrifice today's comforts L and pleasures for the sake of greater accomplishments. The world is seeking men and women who are honest. dependable, trust-worthy. ambitious. These 3 are the qualities that determine success, and they are all subject to your control. V You can predict your own chances of success by measuring yourself by these t standards. Truly. you are the masters of your fate. ii -H. H. Hawley L 95039 'A +.i
