Show Way to Success. Power is the goal of every worthy ambition and only weakness comes from Imitation or dependence on others, oth-ers, says a writer In Success. Power is self-developed, self-generated. We cannot increase the strength of our muscles by sitting In n gymnasium and letting another exercise for us. Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you never will be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody In the world. The man who tries to give his children chil-dren a start in the world so that they will not have so bard a time as he had Is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start probably will give them a setback set-back in the world. Young people need all the motive power they can get They are naturally leaners. imitators, copiers, and it is easy for them to develop de-velop Into echoes or imitations. They will not walk alone while you furnish crutches; they will lean upon you just as long as you will let them. One of the greatest delusions that a human being could ever have Is that he is permanently benefited by continued contin-ued assistance from others. |
