The Principal Speaks GETTING BY I think it was Edison who said in reply to a question about genius that in his opinion it con- sisted of one percent of inspiration and ninety-nine percent of perspiration. And for support of his opinion I suggest that you ex- amine the lives and works of some other men usually' accounted geniuses: Eli Whitney, Henry Ford, Nikola Tesla, Archibald Coolidge, Albert Einstein, etc. Even granting their tremendous brain-power one has to admit that what they accomplished was as much the result of just plain ordinary work as of some heaven-sent inspiration. In fact anyone can tell you that inspiration just doesn't come to a brain that isn't, or hasn't been, working. And so the ability to work is of far more importance to most of us ordinary mortals than is any talent we may possess. Tho we may feel we are gifted in music or language or science, and tho we may rightly do everything we can to develop our powers in the chosen field, it is only the capacity for keeping forever at it that finally makes us effective. Those who know the human brain - psychologists, neurologists, etc. -- tell us that even men of extraordinary accomplishments never begin to tax the capacity of that organ. Futhermore it is a matter of common observation - even you, at your age have seen this'- that people of quite ordinary mental powers frequently outstrip their more gifted com- panions simply because they have learned how to make the best use of the brains they have, and have been willing to do the work entailed. It's quite true: there is no substitute for brains, but it's equally true: there is no substitute for work. I have heard it said - and nearly every adult man or woman will bear this out - that the difference between success and failure can be measured in that extra fifteen minutes. Or it may be that extra hour or extra day. The point is that if you keep on, after the other fellow quits, in the end you come out ahead. That's why getting by can be such a tragic waste of good human material - it takes so little more to be successful! The boy or girl con- tent With minimum results is building up an insidious habit that will rob him or her of satisfactions easily within reach. Mediocrity may have its charms, but they aren't readily discernible, it's more likely that medi- ocrity wears beneath its cloak the unlovely attributes of envy and fear. Anyway, its acceptance - especially in youth - can well be the accep- tance of defeat. Unless you are interested in your own success, no one will be. Unless you are willing to work for that success, no one will be impressed 7- not even your parents. They may give you their love, but you have to earn their respect - you have to work for it.
