Dolphin, Supervising Principal Office Telephone 43392 JAMESTOWN, OHIO To the Students: One who makes up his mind to take charge of his own life and works daily at personal improvement has found the secret of making his life worthwhile. Determine to plan and be at your best. The test of your intelligence is your ability to take hold of your own life just as it is. Know yourself. Make an estimate of your situations. Consider the circumstances of your birth, your childhood, your home life, your wealth or lack of wealth, the influence of the neighborhood in which you live, your friends, your skills, your limitations and your points of strength. You will find shortcomings which you can correct, handicaps which you must accept and of which you must make the best. But begin. Act. Do something. Things that seem difficult at first will become easy. Rise above your failures. Excellence cannot be reached by merely looking for defects. Exchange your Wishbone for a backbone. The real building of a life or a machine or a social system is the result of positive thinking and constructive action. It cannot be built by the wrecking crew. It requires energy, goodwill, initiative, planning. A planless life is like a ship without a compass. It gets nowhere because it lacks direction. Consider what you desire to be and to accomplish. Give sustained atten- tion to the great decisions- religion, occupation, marriage, the choice of a home, avocation. Learn from your weaknesses and mistakes. Study the lives of others. Note what helped them most, what hindered them. Look at your life as a whole. Thinking of your expected seventy years in ten year periods. Predict the achievements of each decade. Include pro- vision for each phase of your life. Revise your plan as conditions change. Careful and con- stant planning is the way to security, happiness, and freedom. Wuzzef fa ffm
