The Young Man’s Chance.
From factory and of rice, up to
college and church, the cry is
for the young man. The world
is his, to do with as he sees fit.
The young man of today is
master of a business at an age
when his grandfather had
scarce finished an apprentice
ship. Universal education and
quick and cheap communication
bring to the young man now a
practical grasp of affairs, which
only long years of experience ,
could give our fathers fifty years j
ago.
; Up • sSfc*
This is very well to know, if
the young man will also keep in
mind tye fact that he will not
always be a young man.
In the same degree that he has l
opportunities when he is young (
he will be deprived of them
when youth is gone.
It behooves him, therefore, to
provide against the enforced re
tirement that awaits him just
at the time when he may begin
to feel that his experience fits
him for the best work
If he is past 20 he must get
rid of the notion that he is
“preparing” himself for life. It
matters not who he is or what
he is, he is living his life more
tensely perhaps, and more de-1
cisively in all probability, than
he will ever be doing at a later
period
If the young man is waiting |
for some rich relative to die apd ■
leave him capital with which to ■
start into business" right”, he
had better realize that the only j
way to start into business right
is with his two hands, and that
the best capital nowadays is a
combination of industry, sense,
pluck and application
The young man who has this
capital needs nobody’s money.
He who has it would not suc
ceed if he had a dozen fortunes
as a foundation.
Money today does less for a ,
young man who will not also do
for himself than it ever did be
fore in world history.
Money, lands, property, and
all that, form a smaller part in
human life today than ever be
fore. Time was when these j
things comprehended almost all '
that men knew about or strove j
for. But the field of aspira- j
tion. of effort and of accomplish- j
ment has immeasurably broad
ened as man develops.—Mem-1
