Each One's Success.

One’s success or failure Is determined largely by the manner In which the individual spends his or her leisure.. It seems that many of us are prone “to ride our hobbles” to the ultimate. One plays cards every evening; another shoots balls on a green table; another is a movie devotee, and some one else a dance crank night after night All these things are good or bad In proportion to the degree in which they rest us or Improve us. We need a more harmonious development It Is obvious that the supreme purpose of life is to havs a goal ahead and to nse every effort to attain the great objective. He or she who has found his or her work is the scheme of things is quite happy. We should devote our leisure time to the acquit idg of greater efficiency, with a certain amount of play and recreation to refresh us. The pursuit of pleasure merely “to kill time” Is a mistake. Too much frivolity will make us satiated and blase. In this busy world, let us “get In the game” and use more team play in the area of human activities. So, let us fit ourselves for greater efficiency and usefulness by a more discreet use of our leisure time. —Grit.
