Show GOOD IN DEFINITE PURPOSE v Little Ahead for the Man or Woman Who Is Content to Aimlessly Drift Through Life. It is astonishing how many people there are who have no definite aim nor ambition, but just exist from one day to another with no well defined life plan. All about us on the ocean of life we see young men and women "But When It Is In Line of Syzygles, as We Say, It Is Said to Be Full." aimlessly drifting without rudder or port, throwing away time, without serious purpose or method in anything they do. They simply drift with the tide. If you ask one of them what he is going to do, what his ambition is, he will tell you he does not exactly now yet what he will do. He is simply sim-ply waiting for a chance to take up something. How can a man who lives without a program ever expect to arrive anywhere any-where but in chaos, confusion? A clear cut purpose has a powerful influence in-fluence upon the life. It unifies our efforts and gives direction to our work, so that every blow counts. I have never known -anyone who followed an indolent inclination ever to amount to much. It is the man who struggles against the things that are fighting with his ambition who gets to the front. No one ever amounts to much who does not take himself in hand and force himself to do the thing that is best for him in the end, not the pleas-antest pleas-antest or the easiest. From "Self Investment," In-vestment," by Orlaon Swett Harden. |
