Power Is the goal of every worthy ambition and only weakness comes from imitation or dependence on oth ers, says n writer in Success. Power Is self-developed, self-generated. AVe cannot Increase the strength of our muscles by sitting In a gymnasium and letting another exercise for us. Nothing else so destroys the power to stand alone as the habit of leaning upon others. If you lean you never will be strong or original. Stand alone or bury your ambition to be somebody In the world. The man who tries to give his chil dren, a start in the world so that they will not have so hard a time as he had Is unknowingly bringing disaster upon them. What he calls giving them a start probably will give them a set back In the world. Young people need nil the motive power they enn get. They are naturally leaners, Imitators, copiers, and it is easy for them to de velop Into echoes or Imitations. They will not walk alone while you furnish crutches; they will lean upon you just ns long as you will lot them. One of the greatest delusions that a human being could ever have is that he Is permanently benefited by contin ued assistance from others. Il!!!l!!!l!lllllili;ini!li! .AUTO PARIS.
