F 0 ' 667122 Lamp FCDIQEWGRD YY Y Dear Gradzlaiirzg Class - I have heard, via Miss Nliller, that you have completed your course most creditably, so it seems that you are now actually in a way to become independent. There is no end to the good you can do if you put your whole soul into your work. Worldly wisdom to the con- trary, the fact remains that those persons who have made the most enviable reputations are those who have worked the hardest in the interest of others and their names have shown the brightest for the sacrifices they have made of themselves. I persume you have had as hard work in the hospital as you are likely to get in private nursing, so you know the importance of taking care of yourself in order to make your work more effective. The cultivation of a sense of proportion, learning to devote time and atten- tion to things in the order of their real importance, is also a most valu- able habit to acquire -it seems to come natural to some people, but others have to keep it continually in mind and cultivate it, to be really successful. I hope you will consider your profession not only as a means of making a living, but as something that is really a life interest, which will take you out of a blind rut traveled by a hireling. Nothing is more unfortunate than a lack of interest in one's work!-it makes everything drag- makes the days, work too long and play time too short. It is impossible to achieve success if one is not actuated by a higher ideal than this. Your profession is so full of interesting things that tedious as some of the detail must be, you can nearly always have the satisfaction of seeing your good results work out, as well as receiving your salary. If you work for results more than for salary, I believe you will find that salary and other equivalent compensations will come of them- selves. I believe that hard work is absolutely essential to the growth and development of every man or woman, that the highest rewards have come to those who have worked the hardest, and that only the cheer- ful optimists have ever done anything worth while. Sincerely yours, GRADUATE or l9l8.
