Power Is the goal of every worthy

from imitation or dependence on oth

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
