Foreigners say that Americans are
not thorough in their trades. As we In
dians are the genuine Americans, let us
show the foreigners and others that we
can be thorough, but before ws can do
this, it is necessary for us to learn to he
so. To do this we. must each stay with
our one trade, year after year, and make
it our life work, and not bechancing from
one occupation to another every fe,
months. Let ns be so entirely absorbed
in our occupation that our whole bein'
will mean just that much energy to be
expended on our life work, remember
ing that what we are doing as children,
as young people, and all the time, is our
life work, not what we will do when we
are middle aged.
