The Good Opportunity in Yourself

THE GOOD OPPORTUNITY IN YOURSELF.

Thousands of young people in this country are hunting for good chances, and seem to think they have very little to do with the good opportunity themselves except to discover it. But, no matter where you go, young man or young woman, no matter who your ancestors were, what school or college you have attended, or who helps you, your best opportunity is in yourself. The help you get from others is something outside of you, while it is what you are, what you do yourself, that counts. A habit of depending on self, a determination to find one's re- sources within oneself, and not without, develops strength. Crutches were intended for cripples, not for able-bodied young people; and whoever attempts to go through life on mental crutches will not go very far, and will never be very successful. Success.
