Show THE RIGHT KIND OF PRIDE - The Gilboa (N.Y.) Monitor makes the following sensible remarks for the benefit of young people who are working their way. A young man "that works for his board," no matter what honest work he does, has no reason for shame. A young man who eats the bread of idleness, no matter how much he has, is disgraced. All men starting in life ought to aim, first of all to find a place where they can earn their bread and butter, with hoe, axe, spade, wheelbarrow, carry-comb, blacking-brush, - no matter how. Independence first. The bread and butter settled, let the young man perform his duty so faithfully as to attract attention, and let him constantly keep his eye open for a chance to do better. About half the poor, proud young men, and two-thirds of the poor, discouraged young men, are always out of work. The young man who pockets his pride, and carries a stiff upper-lip, need not starve, and he stands a chance to become rich, if he cares to. |
