DOES AN EDUCATION PAY?

Does It pay an acorn to become an oak? Does it pay to escape being a rich Ignoramus? Does it pay for a chrysalis to unfold into a butterfly? Does it pay to learn how to make life a glory Instead of a grind? Does it pay to add power to the lens of the microscope or telescope? Does It pay to acquire a personal wealth, which no disaster or misfortune can wreck or ruin? Does it pay to learn how to focus thought with power, how to marshal one’s mental forces effectively? Does it pay a diamond to have its facets ground, to let in the light to reveal Its hidden wealth of splendor? Does It pay to have expert advice and training, to have high ideals bold up to one in the most critical years of one’s life? -•.V v - * Does it pay to open a little wider the door of a narrow life to push out one’s horizon in order to get a wider outlook, a clearer vision? Does it pay to experience the joy of self-discovery, to open up whole continents of possibilities on one’s nature which might otherwise remain undiscovered? —Dr. Orison Swett Marden in the New Success.
