Show There are many people who go through life acquiring but few of the disciplining and cultural habits of life. They shun things they do not like. The result is they "just grow up" like Topsy. What we are is largely what we make of ourselves. our-selves. Some sit down and cry that they do not have a chance While other's with no more chance accomplish much and reach manhood and womanhood trained and cultured with a rich and full background for living. Too many fill all of their lives with the little, and the petty, and inconsequential, and unimportant things that attract the unthinking, and have no time for the acquirement of the more substantial values of life. Most persons are to a very large degree what they want to be. They are empty, shallow, superficial or they fill their lives with the worth while things that make them not only interesting to themselves but to those about them. Few things are more tragic than an utterly empty life. |
