A Correct Estimation of Values

A CORRECT ESTIMATION OF VALUES.

One of the first things to learn in life is to put the proper value on things. It is most unfortunate for an American youth to

be brought up to think that no one is successful unless he has been able, by hook or crook, to lift himself above the common order of mankind. No man is supposed to be very successful, who has not lifted himself out of poverty. The American youth is

seldom told that to perform the common duties of life is to suc- ceed. Somehow or other the word, "success," is nearly always linked with fame or with the attainment of great riches, when it applies, just as readily, to the man who rises in a moderate way in city and in country. The fact is that most of us can never hope to be rich. The greatest wealth of this country is not among the millionaires, but among the common, honest people, who are con- tent to do their duties, cheerfully, willingly, as well as they know how, and then save part of what they make.— Success.
