I would not aspire to sodden wealth nor would I make my standards all on a financial basis.
At the age of twenty-one a man never expects to die. He attends all the funerals as a looker on without deep concern. He feels sorry for the person in the coffin but the thought never enters his head that sometime or other people will be standing around his grave. If I were twenty-one I would start with the firm belief that it is to be an eternal life after death. I would carry this belief with me in all my ambitions and undertakings.
I would understand that though a great American has said that opportunity knocks but once that opportunity is knocking all the time in all lives where there is any brain power cooperating with physical strength. ‘
If I'were twenty-one I would form friendships of the right kind intending that I would be useful to my friends and that I would expect them to be useful to -me. Thus I would have a co operative organization f©i our mutual welfare.
I should not ask my friends to indorse my note and seldom would I ask any on« of them to lend me money. Fortunes that endure are the fortunes which start with one's own strength and will to achieve.
I would not try to make my fortune grow and I would enjoy a considerable part of it as I went along.
